O knihe

Excerpt from The Miscellaneous and Posthumous Works of Henry Thomas Buckle, Vol. 1 of 2

IN 1872 Buckle's Miscellaneous and Posthumous Works were published in three stout volumes, under the editorship of Miss Helen Taylor. They consisted, roughly speaking, of two parts. The first part comprised the minor writings put forth by the author himself during his own lifetime that is to say, the Lecture on the In¿uence of Women on Knowledge,' the 'review of Mill's Liberty,' and the Letter to a Gentleman on Pooley's Case.' The second part comprised the contents of Buckle's Common Place Books, together with a few historical fragments, destined for the most part as materials for his great work, the History of Civilisa tion. That edition being now exhausted, it has been thought advisable to reduce the book in bulk by the omission of several unimportant notes and fragments, While retaining everything which, in the opinion of the present editor, Buckle himself would have wished to submit to the judgment of the world in its existing con dition.
