Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Thought and Thinkers: Introductory Studies, Critical, Biographical and Philosophical
The first eleven chapters of this volume are founded, with slight changes (consisting mainly in amplification of the theoretical portions of chapters VII, IX and X), on public lectures recently delivered before a mixed audience of ladies and gentlemen at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. Simultaneously with their de livery, another, more extended and technical, course, on the history of British speculation from Bacon to Spencer, was in progress, attended only by university students. To this course, the lectures here in substance repro duced were partly introductory, while in part they were intended to present a general summary of results reached and illustrated in more profuse detail in the special course.
