Twelve lectures on the natural history of man and the rise and progress of philosophy

"The lectures, in their present form, are little more than outlines of the subjects discussed on the occasion of their delivery--each having been introduced by an extemporaneous exordium of fervid and impassioned eloquence, which few who heard will ever cease to remember. It is known to have been the author's intention, had he lived, to have appended copious notes, a deficiency which it is now impossible to supply. If the reader should not discover, on the perusal of these lectures, any truth or fact, with which he was not before acquainted, it is believed he will meet many in a new guise, exhibited under different phases and aspects--he will find original views of truth, which are in fact new truths, in the same sense as every plant that is produced, or child that is born, is a new idea--a fresh expression of the wisdom and goodness of the Creator. The captious critic may perhaps find much to condemn, a wide occasion for the display of his book-learning, vanity, and opinionative conceit; yet it is hoped the sincere searcher after truth will not "be sent empty away"--Book.
