Note 48 — Chapter IV · MORALITY.

The rule is as follows:—“If any one is endowed with the talent of writing books conducive to the common good, and shall compose any such,—he ought not to publish any writings unless the General shall first see them, and cause them to be read and examined, so that they may come before the public if they seem good for edification, and not otherwise.”—Const. vii. iv. 11.
