      standard of right.
      [1913 Webster]

            The morality of an action is founded in the freedom
            of that principle, by virtue of which it is in the
            agent's power, having all things ready and requisite
            to the performance of an action, either to perform
            or not perform it.                    --South.
      [1913 Webster]

      [1913 Webster]

   3. The doctrines or rules of moral duties, or the duties of
      men in their social character; ethics.
      [1913 Webster]

            obey reason, and not to invade it.    --Bacon.
      [1913 Webster]

            The system of morality to be gathered out of . . .
            ancient sages falls very short of that delivered in
