Summary:

"The subject of Ethics is divided into two parts. They are the Practical, and the Theoretical. The first is named Practical, because it enumerates simply what should or should not be practised. It may be named actual, because it states, without theory, what actually is right or wrong; or positive, because it declares positively an existing fact, without giving reasons. Practical Ethics is the subject now under consideration. To understand its nature, and divisions, we must refer Habits, as its subject-matter, to their ends and their sources"--Chapter.
