Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays Historical and Moral It may allure indolence itself, by the prospect of attaining knowledge without any violent exertion; and, even where it does not instruct, will scarcely fail to entertain. In the infancy of a science, we are not to wonder that authors should be more intent on accumulating facts, than on applying them to the discrimination of causes. To remedy this material defect in our latest writers on the history of man, was the original intention of the following pages: and though my success in the execution has not equalled my wishes or my hopes - where little has been already done, even a feeble attempt is not without some claim to merit, if to no other merit, than that of exploring and opening the road to more fortunate adventurers. The Origin of Mankind is of little importance to the immediate subject of this Essay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
