| Abstract: | "The chief object of Horne Tooke's work was to prove presumptively, by circumstantial evidence drawn from the nature of language, that there is no such thing as abstraction. Of this work Lord Brougham has said, that it "is so eminently natural and reasonable" that "all men are convinced of its truth." The object of the present work is to apply this doctrine of no-abstraction to metaphysics, morality, and politics. In this book the author examines the philosophy of words."
