| Summary: | "The two letters to John Stuart Mill, contained in this volume, were the result of the author's conversations and correspondence with that distinguished man. Of the other papers in this volume, those upon the "Existence of Matter," and "Our Notions of Infinite Space," were published as appendices to the "Letters to Mill." The subject of Infinite Space was one which possessed great attraction for the author. The letters to Mill, with their Appendices, were translated into German, and published in 1875. The reply to Huxley on "Animals not Automata" was published in the "Popular Science Monthly," in October, 1874. The letter on Causation to Dr. Francis Wharton was published in the latter's essay on "Proximate and Remote Cause" (The Liability of Railway Companies for Remote Fires) in 1878. The two discourses entitled "Man a Creative First Cause," were delivered at the Concord School of Philosophy, in July, 1882, and published in book form the following year."
