Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays on the Principles of Morality: And on the Private and Political Rights and Obligations of Mankind
In attempting to compile a biographical sketch of Jonathan Dymond, to accompany the present edition of his Essays on the Principles of Morality, and on the Private and Political Rights and Obligations of Man kind, it has been a matter of some surprise that the material for such a memorial has proved to be very meager. The explanation is probably to be found in the retiring character of this gifted man, the close application to business which he found needful in main taining his little family, and the brief period of life allotted him. While therefore, his may be termed an uneventful life, and one devoid of striking incident, it was marked by rare fidelity to duty, the diligent occu pation of talents of no common order, combined with a clearness of perception, and maturity of judgment seldom met with in early years.
