This moment is one of interest to you, gentlemen, as well as to us. For you have now to chose whether you will take no heed to the history of the past, or whether you will profit by its warnings, - whether you will thoughtlessly follow the footsteps of those who have wandered from the right path; or whether you will not rather strive with the self denying ardour of the true votaries of science, for the rewards of fame and of fortune, that are within your reach. And you have incentives still more exalted than the prospect of attaining those, the more immediate objects of your exertions. On the tablet of creation, exposed to our View, we find written in words of light the high and sublime truth, that the human mind, an emanation from the divinity, departs from the eternal order of its nature, if it bends to ignoble influences, and obeys where it should rule. Every error to which it does homage, every prejudice and re spect for '0pinion which are suffered to stifle the free expres sion of its convictions, every passion whose voice sounds above the calm accents of wisdom, affects not only that individual mo ment of its history, but degrades it from its high position; and its progress, from that time forward, must be from a lower step in the seals of intelligence. The horizon of its vision is. Nar rowed, and it less clearly beholds in each truth, the connecting links of universal wisdom, and the grand chain of mutual sup port and dependence which pervades the universe. And if there is one consideration more than another, that should nerve us to pursue our course unfaltering, and make us shrink from every dereliction, it is the thought, that each will sink us in the scale of intellectual existences, and remove our starting point farther from our goal.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
