Elementary Sketches of Moral Philosophy. by Sydney Smith

This early work by Sydney Smith was originally published in 1854 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Elementary Sketches of Moral Philosophy' is a collection of lectures delivered by Smith at the Royal Institution in the years 1804, 1805, and 1806. Sydney Smith was born on 3rd June 1771 in Woodford, Essex, England. Smith's first book 'Six Sermons, preached in Charlotte Street Chapel, Edinburgh' was published in 1800. He married Catharine Amelia Pybus in the same year and the couple settled in Edinburgh. While there, he helped set up the 'Edinburgh Review' and became its first editor in 1802. He continued to write articles for the review for the next quarter of the century which were a key element to the publication's success.

Smith, Sydney: - Sydney Smith has been obsessed with fiction since childhood. Leo's Daughters came out of her girlhood love of fairy tales and her puzzlement over the king's daughter, who was usually the hero's reward for killing the dragon or ridding the land of some plague or terrible enchantment. She used to wonder what the king's daughter felt about being handed over like that, especially as she never believed the story's careless assertion that the girl in question was happy to marry this fortune-hunting stranger.
