will shew that its object is to restore truth to its proper temple, to build up an altar whose foundations shall be consolidated by morality, reason, and justice: from this sacred pane, virtue guided by truth, clothed with experience, shall shed forth her radiance upon delighted mortals; whose homage flowing consecutively shall open the world to a new æra, by rendering general the belief that happiness, the true end of man’s existence, can never be attained but by promoting that of his fellow creature.
In short, man should learn to know, that happiness is simply an emanative quality formed by reflection; that each individual ought to be the sun of his own system, continually shedding around him his genial rays; that these, re-acting, will keep his own existence constantly supplied with the requisite heat to enable him to put forth kindly fruit.
