CONSTABLE, PRINTER TO HER MAJESTY. ww PROSPECTUS. In handsome 8vo, with Portraits, &c., price 12s. per Volume, COMPLETE EDITION OF THE WORKS OP DUGALD STEWART, ESQ., COMPRISING, AMONG OTHER LARGE ADDITIONS, A CONCLUDING CHAPTER OF HIS DISSERTATION, LECTURES ON POLITICAL ECONOMY, &c. &c. WITH A BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIR OF THE AUTHOR AFTER the death of Reid, DUGALD STEWART was the head of what has been denominated "The Scottish School of Philosophy;" long before his death he was, indeed, universally acknowledged as the most distinguished living philosopher of Great Britain, and likewise as one of the best writers in the language. His published works are considerable, both in number and extent, and are also conversant with the most important parts of Philosophy,-historical, speculative, and practical. Of these works, the earlier have been frequently reprinted; but from circumstances, merely private, and which it is unnecessary to specify, new editions of his later writings have been withheld, and a collection of the whole, which ought long ago to have appeared, has only now become possible. This Collection, which it is proposed forthwith to publish, will appear in handsome 8vo, and may extend to nine, perhaps to ten, volumes. It will not be merely a uniform re-impression of the former Publications. These it will of course comprise,-following the most authentic Edition, with the Author's Manuscript Corrections, and his frequent and important Additions;-but in the extensive literary re 2 mains of Mr. STEWART, besides the Writings thus left prepared for the Press, there are others which may afford valuable extracts to be incorporated in the already published Treatises,-or to be otherwise annexed to them. The work of selecting from the Manuscripts, and, in general, of editing the Collection, has been undertaken by SIR WILLIAM HAMILTON, who will likewise supply a Memoir of the Author. The contents of the Publication are as follows; and, in so far as at present appears, they will occupy Ten volumes. 1. DISSERTATION, EXHIBITING A GENERAL VIEW OF THE PROGRESS OF METAPHYSICAL, ETHICAL, AND POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY. This will comprise numerous and extensive Additions, and a Chapter hitherto unpublished, exhibiting a concluding view of "Tendencies and Result." 2, 3, 4. ELEMENTS OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE HUMAN MIND. 3 vols. To this will be prefixed Part I. of the OUTLINES OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY, containing the Outline of the Philosophy of Mind. The first volume will contain the relative Addenda published in the third, which are still in copyright. In the second volume will appear various Insertions and Corrections. The OUTLINES also have some additions. 5. PHILOSOPHICAL ESSAYS. This volume may be considered as almost a part of the last work.-Large additions. 6, 7. PHILOSOPHY OF THE ACTIVE AND MORAL POWERS. 2 vols. There will be prefixed Part II. of the OUTLINES OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY, containing the Outline of the Ethical Philosophy.-Considerable Additions. 8, 9. LECTURES ON POLITICAL ECONOMY. That is, on Political Philosophy in its widest signification. Now first published. Part III. of the OUTLINES OF MORAL PHILOSOPHY, containing the Outline of the Political Philosophy, will be prefixed. 10. BIOGRAPHICAL MEMOIRS OF Smith, Robertson, and Reid. Additions; with Memoir of the Author by SIR WILLIAM HAMILTON. EDINBURGH: THOMAS CONSTABLE & CO. HAMILTON, ADAMS, & CO., LONDON. |
