Book Description

Excerpt from Elements of Philosophy: Comprising Logic and Ontology, or General Metaphysics It is not yet one month since we issued the first Edition of "Hill's Philosophy," and such has been the demand for the work, that a second Edition is required. Very favorable notices have already been given of the work by several periodicals, and able judges, whose verdict we know to be of the highest authority, have pronounced the book a true and trusty friend through the intricacies of Philosophy. We rejoice at this success, because it ensures the completion of the whole work, including Ethics, and gives us every reason to believe that we shall soon have, in our language, a Manual of Philosophy, for students and for the general reader, equal to the admirable Latin works, which have hitherto been almost the only pure sources, of Philosophical knowledge. The Author has taken advantage of the opportunity offered by the preparation of this Edition, to revise his work and thus render it more acceptable to the student.
