| Summary: | "The writer of the following pages is well aware of the difficulty, and even hazard, of attempting to embrace within so brief a space the great principles that regulate the movement, and are developed in the action, of conscious human life. The extent of interest, however, that should attach to the general subject, seems to afford a license to investigate the various topics embraced in it, sufficient, at least, to excuse any attempt, however feeble, to classify, arrange, or reduce within the limits of a system, those great governing laws or principles. If these pages can in the least degree contribute to draw the attention of the intelligent towards that subject, and by exciting discussion, reflection, and investigation, increase the sphere of our knowledge of ourselves, and of the numerous relations of which we are the center, the writer will be abundantly satisfied for the time and labor bestowed upon them"--Preface.
