Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Phrenological Journal and Miscellany, 1847, Vol. 9
Behold, then, in this summary of human nature, in connection with the fact that all mankind love happiness, and love nothing else except and as far as it subserves this one end, the infinite Benevolence of God!
Behold, also, the one object which we should pursue from the cradle to the grave. We should live and strive solely to render ourselves happy. The catechism tells us the chief and of man is to glorify God. Granted; and since he made us for the express purpose of being happy, we glorify him in and by promoting this end of our being. Nor will anything else please or glorify him, because he made and has adapted us for nothing else.
