Q the high and generous recognition which has been 2 accorded to this work by a few of the foremost thinkers 3 and critics of the time has encouraged me to issue a Anew and cheaper edition, with the view of bringing it w within the compass of a wider circle of readers. In doing so, I gladly avail myself of the opportunity thus afforded me of saying a word or two on one and another of the various difficulties and' objections which some of these critics have found either in my treatment of the subject, or in the special views and opinions presented for consideration.
