Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on the Ethics: Of T. H. Green, Mr. Herbert Spencer, and J. Martineau
I have here and there omitted repetitions more suitable to an oral lecture than to a book, and once or twice altered the position of sentences and, generally speaking, have made such corrections as I thought it probable the author would have made before publishing the lectures. In the books prepared by himself for publication, Seeley was, as I know, unsparing of pains in rewriting such portions as did not come up to his ideal. I have felt, therefore, that it was unjust to his memory to let this posthumous book go forth without such correction of inadvertencies as I was able to make. No reader can feel more strongly than I do how inadequate a substitute this is for his own revision.
