Excerpt from Doctrine of the Will

To one whose aim is, to "serve his generation according to the Will of God, " but two reasons would seem to justify an individual in claiming the attention of the public in the capacity of an author - the existence in the public mind of a want which needs to be met, and the full belief, that the Work which he has produced is adapted to meet that want. Under the influence of these two considerations, the following Treatise is presented to the public. Whether the author has judged rightly or not, it is not for him to decide. The decision of that question is left with the public, to whom the Work is now presented. It is doubtful, whether any work, prepared with much thought and pains-taking, was ever published with the conviction, on the part of the author, that it was unworthy of public regard.
