![THE ENGLISH AND FOREIGN PHILOSOPHICAL LIBRARY. Philosophical Inquiry is essentially the chief intellectual study of our age. It is proposed to produce, under the title of The English and Foreign Philosophical Library, a series of works of the highest class connected with that study. The English contributions to the series consist ■ of original works, and of occasional new editions of such productions as have already attained a permanent rank among the philosophical writings of the day. Beyond the productions of English writers, there are many recent publications in German and French which are not readily . accessible to English readers, unless they are competent German and French scholars. Of these foreign writings, the translations have been entrusted to gentlemen whose names will be a guaran- tee for their critical fidelity. The English and Foreign Philosophical Library claims to be free from all bias, and thus fairly to represent all develop- ments of Philosophy, from Spinoza to Hartmann, from Leibnitz to Lotze. Each original work is produced under the inspection of its author, from his manuscript, without intermediate sugges- tions or alterations. As corollaries, works showing the results of Positive Science, occasionally, though seldom, find a place in the series. The series is elegantly printed in octavo, and the price regu- lated by the extent of each volume. The volumes will follow in succession, at no fixed periods, but as early as is consistent with the. necessary care in their production. THE FOLLOWING HAVE ALREADY APPEARED :— Vols.
