The moral state of nations, or, Travels over the most interesting parts of the globe to discover the source of moral motion : communicated to lead mankind through the conviction of the senses to intellectual existence, and an enlightened state of nature : speculative or abstract truth is a beacon on the shore of life, to direct the tempest-tost [sic] vessel of humanity in the storms of error and prejudice, to the haven of happiness, intellectual existence, and an enlightened state of nature : practical truth is the pilot wisdom, who holds the helm, and directs the tacks, which impelled by the zephyr of reform, obliquely approximates that beacon, and guards the vessel from the boisterous hurricanes of precipitate innovation and revolution, which propelling the vessel of humanity in the face of the storm, wrecks it on the shoals of error and prejudice.
