A ring $R$ satisfies the dual of the isomorphism theorem if $R/Ra\cong \mathtt{l}(a)$ for every element $a\in R.$ We call these rings left morphic, and say that $R$ is left P-morphic if, in addition, every left ideal is principal. In this paper we characterize the left and right P-morphic rings and show that they form a Morita invariant class. We also characterize the semiperfect left P-morphic rings as the finite direct products of matrix rings over left uniserial rings of finite composition length. J. Clark has an example of a commutative, uniserial ring with exactly one non-principal ideal. We show that Clark's example is (left) morphic and obtain a non-commutative analogue.
