| Summary |
"The book I herewith offer to the public is intended rather as a handbook for the general reader, than for the use of the philosophical student. Its statements might have been more fully supported by many interesting incidents and illustrations, but these would scarcely have been of sufficient importance to warrant the additional expense of a much enlarged volume, increasing its cost to the publisher, and consequently to the public. Living remote from the great centres of thought, I have not recently had access to extensive libraries, and some of my quotations have been made from memory. In other matters I have relied on the statements in Cyclopedias, and the treatises in such works are too brief to be of much use to an author. I have endeavored in all cases to avoid giving any doubtful authorities, but it is proper to say, that some of the notes from which this book were written were made many years ago, and may have grown rusty with age. I cannot but believe that this little volume, with all its imperfections, will supply a want to a great many readers who have neither the means to procure, nor the time to study the productions of the great philosophers of modern times, but who may still wish to acquire a concise knowledge of the great science of philosophy, and in this belief it is now submitted to their consideration"--Book.
