Riassunto

Excerpt from The Function and Place of Conscience in Relation to the Laws of Men: A Sermon for the Times; Preached at the Melodeon, on Sunday, September 22, 1850

Let us look a little at our duty under this law. If a man falls into the water and is in danger of drown ing, it is the natural duty of the bystanders to aid in pulling him out, even at the risk of wetting their gar ments. We Should think a man a coward who could swim and would not save a drowning girl for fear of spoiling his coat. He would be indictable at common law. If a troop of wolves or tigers were about to seize a man, and devour him, and you and I could help him, it would be our duty to do so, even to peril our own limbs and life for that purpose. If a man undertakes to murder or'steal a man, it isthe duty of the bystand ers to help their brother, who is in peril, against wrong from the two legged man, as much as against the four legged beast. But suppose the invader who seizes the man is an officer of the United States, has a commis sion in his pocket, a warrant for his deed in his hand, and seizes as a Slave a man'who has done nothing to alienate his natural rights, does that give him any more natural right to enslave a man than he had be fore? Can any piece of parchment make Right wrong, and Wrong right?

Descrizione libreria

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
