Excerpt from Elementary Sketches of Moral Philosophy: Delivered at the Royal Institution, in the Years 1804, 1805, and 1806 I retract therefore, peremptorily and firmly, the ad vice I formerly gave against the publication of these' discourses; and earnestly recommend you to lose no time in letting the public at large have the pleasure and benefit of their perusal. The subject, perhaps, may prevent them from making any great or immediate sen sation; but I feel that they will excite considerable 1n terest, and command universal respect; while the pre vions circulation of your 100 eleemosynary copies, among persons who probably include the most authorita tive and efficient guides of public taste and Opinion now livmg, must go far to secure its early and favorable notice. I'write this hurriedly, after finishing my legal prepa rations for to-morrow, and feel that I shall sleep better for this disburdening of my cons - cience. I feel, too, as if 'i was secure of your acceptance of this tardy recan tation of my former heresies; and that you will be pleased, and even perhaps a little proud, of your conver tite! But if not, I can only say that I shall willingly submit to any penance you can find in your heart to impose on me. I know enough of that heart of old, not to be very apprehensive of its severity; and now good night, and God bless you! I am very old, and have many infirmities; but I am tenacious of old friendships, and find much of my present enjoyments in the recol lections of the past.
