Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Theophrasti Characteres: With Notes, Psychological and Critical, for the Use of University Students and the Higher Classes in Schools
With respect to the second Appendix I must speak with still greater diffidenc'e. The subject presented itself, and I was compelled either to pass it over alto gether, or to treat it with a brevity unsatisfactory even to myself. The only alternative was that between the possible imputations of ignorance or superficiality. Under the circumstances I have preferred the latter. This I have done, first, because I am conscious to myself of having long considered the subject, and examined with care all the references of Mr. Grote; and, secondly, because the candid reader must per ceive that I do not affect so much to discuss the question, as to point out the course which, I conceive, the discussion ought to take.
