Excerpt from The Questions of the Day

Each other, as were our starving troops, in the Crimea, to their stores of food and clothing with nothing, in either case, to hinder their coming happily together, except ignorance, timidity, prejudice, and pride. To throw ever so little light, if it be but the light of truth, on the questions discussed in this volume, must tend to dissipate these grievous obstructions to human happiness and may promote, it is hoped, the more general enjoyment of those manifold blessings, which are placed in abundance within reach of all, but which, as matters are now ordered, are seldom actually attained to by the greater part of mankind. Such an attempt, if in any measure likely to succeed, cannot but be fitting employment for one, who has been taught to love all men as his brethren; and who, in honor of the Divine Teacher of that senti ment, longs to do some service to as many as he can. And although he has no objection to avow every principle upheld in these pages, he publishes them without his name, under the notion, that they are less likely to do any good at all in a name which his readers might not know, than in one which is as appropriate to them as to himself.
