Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mental Furniture the Adaptation of Knowledge for Man The following pages have been written with a desire to assist in the culture of the human mind; add a small fraction to the treasures of knowledge; strengthen the outposts of truth, virtue, and religion; assist in the elevation and happiness of man; and make a small compensation for my own conscious deficiency in true knowledge. If such objects will be promoted in any degree by this feeble effort, I shall be greatly satisfied, and abundantly recompensed. As the natural light is made up of small rays emanating from one focus, so man is elevated and advanced by the light of feeble candles, and innumerable and constant scintillations from the hammer and anvil of human thought and effort. A moderate result will satisfy expectations not sanguine, and efforts not highly estimated. Some will think that the theory of knowledge should have been treated more comprehensively and philosophically. This is perfectly true, so far as this work goes. First.
