Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays, Speculative and Political
As the interest of some of these Papers, if they have any interest, depends in part upon the date at which they were written, I have in no case altered the sense of the text, though here and there I have made slight verbal improvements.
My thanks are due to the Editors of the various books and journals in which any of these Essays may have originally appeared for permission to republish them.
