Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Morals of Suicide There are at least two aspects under which suicide may be regarded and discussed. First, its moral and religious aspect; and secondly, its social aspect. Of course, the latter is dependent on the former; for nothing can be sound socially which is not also sound in point of morals and religion. In considering, therefore, the subject of suicide, whether under its moral or social aspect, the first thing to be done is to ascertain the real ground of moral conduct. This, it seems to me, is to be found in Personality as the one fact which all must admit, no matter to what school of philo Sophy or system of religion they may belong. And here I wish to express my great Obligation to the Rev. J. R. Lllingworth for his valuable work, Personality Human and Divine.
