Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Reid, D.D, Vol. 1: Now Fully Collected, With Selections From His Unpublished Letters, Preface, Notes and Supplementary Dissertations
November 1846. - Thc present issue (ending with page 914) con tains the whole Works of Reid, hitherto published, with many of his writings, printed or collected for the first time. The text has been collated, revised, and corrected; useful distinctions and supplements inserted; the leading words and propositions marked out; the allu sions indicated; the quotations filled up. It contains also the Foot Notes of the Editor on the texts of Reid and Stewart, and a large proportion (in length) of the Editor's Supplementary Dissertations. There remain the sequel of these Dissertations, the General Pre face, and the Indices; - all of which are either prepared, or their materials collected. These (dee volente) will be comprised in a con cluding issue, and title-pages for two volumes then given. The Notes and Dissertations have insensibly increased to a size and importance far beyond what was ever anticipated; but the hook having been always destined primarily for academics] use, the price of the whole will not exceed thirty shillings. Being stereotyped, what additions may be made to any subsequent edition, will be pub lished also apart.
