In preparing this edition for the press, a few papers have been omitted, because the lapse of time had destroyed their value. The places of those few papers have been filled up with essays written for the work. The reviewers of the first edition are not responsible for these; and if this edition is anywhere deemed worthy of notice, it is but right I should call attention to the papers on "The Rainbow" and "Fido Fides," as new, and as expounding views in which, possibly, neither my reviewers nor my readers will concur.
