Excerpt from Inquiries: Concerning the Intellectual Powers, and the Investigation of Truth

The Publishers of the Family Library, in issuing a new and improved edition of the Inquiries concerning the Intellectual Powers, are happy in being able to say that its past success, compared with that of the other volumes of the series, has exceeded their most sanguine expectations. Though not entered upon the race till two years after the work was commenced, it has already outstripped all its competitors, and promises still to maintain its distance.

In addition to a very wide circulation among the general mass of readers, the Publishers arc gratified to learn that it is finding its way to the seats of science, and that in several of the higher literary institutions of our country, it has already been adopted as a text-book for the classes in Intellectual Philosophy.

Cheered by this encouragement, they feel disposed to spare neither effort nor expense to render the work permanently worthy the high favour thus far bestowed upon it.
