To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Yet the last pages of the '^ Methods of Ethics " declare ethics to be an imperfect science, incapable of completion without reli- gion. Farted from that, ethics has little meaix- ing.

But it appears again in another writer about as untrammeled as he, Sir James Pitzjames Stephen, the historian of the criminal law of England. His book, '' lib- erty, Equality, and Fraternity," attempts to prove that if the religious beliefs of mankind perish, morality will go too. Stephen is no theologian, and does not attempt to inquire which faiths are true or false. But religious conviction and right conduct are, in his view, so identified that the one must ever be modi- fied by the other.
