Convinced that it has been attended with no small difficulty. The advantages, however, which my own mind derived from the Work, am the probability of its being useful to others, greatly encouraged me in its prosecution. Besides, to be active, to be useful, to do amt/ting for the good of mankind, I have always considered as the honour of an intelligent being. It is not the student wrapt up in metaphysical subtilties; it is not the recluse living in solitude; it is not the miser who is continually amassing wealth, that can be considered as thé greatest ornaments or the greatest blessings to human society - it is rather the useful than the shining talent that is to be coveted.0.
