Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

Leslie Stephen was born on November 28, 1832 in London. He was the son of Sir James Stephen, a leading Evangelical and distinguished undersecretary in the Colonial Office.
Stephen was educated first at Eton, then attended King's College, London, and graduated from Trinity Hall, Cambridge, where he excelled in athletics.
Stephen was elected to a fellowship at Trinity Hall in 1854 and became junior tutor in 1856. He was ordained in 1859, but his philosophical studies, combined probably with the controversy that followed the publication of Charles Darwin’s "Origin of Species, " caused him to lose his faith.
A few years later he resigned his Cambridge fellowship and in 1867 began a literary career.
The whole of Stephen's outlook for the rest of his life was shaped by this early crisis. In 1875 he resigned his priesthood.
Between 1878 and 1882 he wrote a work of philosophical synthesis which he hoped would win him a reputation as a major thinker by putting the traditional ethics on a scientific base of utilitarianism and Darwinism. His work, entitled "The Science of Ethics" (1882), was such a failure that it permanently altered Stephen's career and caused him to devote the rest of his life to high-level journalism and editing.
From 1882 to 1889 Stephen was an editor of "Dictionary of National Biography. "

(Book by Leslie Stephen)
Reading of John Stuart Mill, Auguste Comte, and Immanuel Kant led to the rejection of Christianity, so that by 1862 Stephen had renounced his religious duties, and by 1870 his religion.
Increasingly he came under Darwinian influences and moved steadily toward agnosticism.
For Stephen, with his strong Evangelical background, the great goal of 19th-century philosophy was to preserve the ethics of theism in an increasingly nontheistic world.
Stephen married Harriet Marian (Minny) Thackeray on June 19, 1867. She died in 1875.
On March 26, 1878 he married Julia Duckworth. They had four children.
His younger daughter was Virginia Woolf, the novelist.
