Excerpt from Primer of Morals: For Use in Schools and Families In "Common Sense, or First Steps in Political Economy," the author evolved the virtues of industry, skill, economy, honesty, and general trustworthiness, from an objective examination of man in society, and proved them essential to human well-being and the happiness of the individual. On this basis of moral science was established the structure of political economy which he presented in that work in a form adapted to the understanding of the young. That political, or, as it is better termed, social, economy should be not merely connected with but actually founded upon moral science, will no doubt surprise those who have studied economic science only from the text-books ordinarily used in our colleges, or from the elaborate works of the masters of the science.
