OUTLINES OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY.

Of these OUTLINES, (which are, in fact, synopses of two, or more properly of three, courses of Lectures,) only the Introduction, treating of Philosophy in general, and Part First, treating of the Intellectual Powers, are here given; these being exclusively relative to Mr. Stewart's psychological work, "Elements of the Philosophy of the Human Mind." The other two Parts, that regarding Ethical, and that regarding Political Science, are prefixed to Vol. vi. and to Vol. vii., the subjects of which they appropriately introduce, as summaries. These three fragments, be it observed, exhaust the whole of the Outlines of Moral Philosophy as an independent work; and they are given in the present edition with considerable additions.-Editor.
