Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Selections From Manuscripts, 1856, Vol. 1
One of my best friends has furnished an Index sufficiently full, I believe, to enable any particular subject to be referred to; and if it should be desired to peruse continuously the passages relating to any special topic, this can be done by means of the Table of Contents, in which the pages at which each topic is resumed are indicated. Except in the first few sheets, also each change of subject is denoted at the bottom of the page. The words used for this purpose (such as Life, Metaphysics, &c.) refer to the headings of my mss.
The reader will perceive that the book is printed in a somewhat peculiar way. I have adopted a few contractions, a list of the chief of which is subjoined. The lines also, as will be perceived, are not of a perfectly uniform length.
