PREFACE. Vii
the view of vindicating, of supplementing or confirming,
of qualifying or criticising, Mr. Stewart's doctrines."
He also remarks, that though the volume was often
reprinted during the author's lifetime, after the second
edition in 1802, "no alteration or amplification, - none
certainly of any consequence, has been hitherto incorporated " with it. Some "intended additions were
indeed supplied," when the third volume was published,
in 1827; and he observes that "these have only now
been entered in their proper places." Of course, he
here refers only to editions published in Great Britain;
as these additions were " entered in their proper places"
in an American edition published several years ago,
from which the present volume was printed. As the
Preface states that AMLr. Stewart was not satisfied with
the translations of quotations not in English, which
were made for the Boston edition of 1821, it is proper
to add, that these quotations have been translated anew
for this volume. They are not translated at all in Sir
William Hamilton's edition.
