Excerpt from Duty and Faith: An Essay on the Relation of Moral Philosophy to Christian Doctrine A celebrated statue by Polycletus, representing a soldier armed with a spear, was called by Greek artists the Canon, or Rule, as being a model of beautiful proportion. To discover such a normal standard of right conduct is the task which we have before us, if we attempt to define the idea of Virtue. It is not enough to draw up a catalogue of particular virtues to be embodied in a perfect man, and of particular vices to be excluded, but to show the several elements of manhood in due proportion and symmetry, like the features of a countenance, or the form of a well-grown body. Merely to say that Virtue is composed of courage, temperance, justice, 8m, is no more than to say that a face is composed of eyes, nose, and mouth. The form of each remains tobe described, and its relation to the rest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
