In conformity to the act of the Congress of the United States, entitled, “An act for the encouragement of learning by securing the copies of maps, charts, and books to the authors and proprietors of such copies during the times therein mentioned;" and also to an act, entitled "An act, supple mentary to an act, entitled, an act to the encouragement of learning, by securing the copies of maps, charts and books to the authors and proprietors of such copies during the times therein mentioned; and extending the bene fis thereof to the arts of designing, engraving, and etching historical, and other prints." JOHN MUSSEY, Jun. Clerk of the District Court of Mains. This book professes to be a compilation, from a cons`derable number of authors, of those facts and opimons in Intellectual Philosophy, which seemed to the writer most worthy to be received The authors, who have been ch.cf ly consu ted, will be found mentioned in the course of the work; and. in some instances, a few remarks have been made on the character of their writings. Locke, Stewart, and Brown have afforded a greater si are of the materials than others; Condillac, Beattie, Malebranche, Hume, Reid, Berkeley, &c. I ave een carefully consultel. In a few instances, the statements of these writers have been admitted with only slight variations, when it was thought they had been peculiarly happy in them. The work sets forth no other pretensions, than what is purported in the title page, viz. as a TEXT-BOOK. As such, it is hoped, it will be fund acceptable to instructers and students. A book of this kind, in this important department of science, has been for a long time needed; and the present attempt towards supplying the deficiency is submitted to the candid judgment of the publick. |
