We do not say that the consciences of men are all equally well informed, or that they decide in all cases with equal accuracy. All we say is, that such is the authority of this impulse, when ever it is distinctly perceived. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
