The Biblical Repository and Quarterly Observer, 1835, Vol. 5: Nos. XVII, XVIII (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Biblical Repository and Quarterly Observer, 1835, Vol. 5: Nos. XVII, XVIII
IT seems to be a principle of our nature, that a person whom we love, or hate, for any one quality, should be loved or hated by us, not only in regard to that particular quality, but in respect to all that is essentially or accidentally related to him. Thus, that love for a fellow-being, which probably sprang from a single attribute in him, spreads itself over the whole character; his turn of thought, of feeling, of expression, nay, his person, fea tures, gestures - even the commonest things which belong to him, and are for his daily use, soon become objects of our attach ment.-reverse this, and put hate,-and, because of some hastily spoken word, we come to detest a man, and all that is his; we begin to dislike his face, however well in itself; his grace is awkwardness to us; we hate him we hate his very dog.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the most suitable governing systems for humanity, taking the unique nature of humans into account. The author acknowledges that both God-given and man-made laws impact the character of a people and proposes that we can better understand these laws by looking at the individual and social nature of human beings. They argue that abstract equality before the law fails to recognize that we have differing roles in life and a need for authority and subordination in some areas. The author advocates for systems that provide a mix of freedom and order and argues that this balance can be achieved through the establishment of different social ranks and a respect for tradition. Ultimately, the author contends that well-conceived laws can foster positive social interactions and personal development, contributing to a better society.
