These four publications fill very different places and satisfy very different demands but, after all, their aim is the same. Forming. as they do, the strongest incentive to literary work, they are coming to see that their power in the future must depend largely upon their unity.

Among the less civilized nations the preservation of the tribe is the great motive power, and whatever tends to that end is thought to be the greatest virtue. Thus we see how it was that courage became to be so much admired. And investigation shows that morality has not been developed by selfishness, nor by a desire for happiness, but by a striving after the greatest good of the greatest number...
