| Summary: | "The large circulation of over 14,000 copies of this work has induced me in large measure to rewrite the Book, with the view of adapting it more fully for general use. The principal features in the present Edition are the introduction of illustrations of the structure of nerve and brain; reconstruction of large portions of the discussion of fundamental questions, including reference to the most recent thought as to Evolution, Biological and Dialectic; amplification of the portion dealing with the existence of the First Cause; and extended references to recently published treatises in Ethics of recognised authority. I trust that the Book will now be found much more suitable for use by my fellow-teachers, who have honoured me by its adoption as a Text-Book, and more acceptable to Students requiring to study it without guidance of a teacher"--Preface.
