Excerpt from The Morals of Suicide Containing, Reviews and Further Statistics,, an Essay on Personality, Vol. 2
Whatever else I may have to complain of, I cannot complain that the first volume of my book on The Morals of Suicide has failed to attract attention. Not only in England and Scotland has it been extensively reviewed, but also in the United States, in India and Australia. Apart altogether from the very diverse character of these reviews, of which I shall speak later on, this proves that the importance of the subject is fully recognized. So far so good. And I hardly need say, that had I not been deeply and even painfully impressed with its importance, I should never have essayed to write on a subject so naturally uninviting. Perhaps there is none which brings us into closer touch with the weaknesses, the wants, the sin, the misery, and, I may add, the misfortunes of mankind than this.
