OBSERVATIONS ON THE NATURE AND TENDENCY OF THE DOCTRINE OF MR. HUME, CONCERNING THE RELATION OF CAUSE AND EFFECT. BY THOMAS BROWN, M.D. Second Edition, enlarged. EDINBURGH: PRINTED FOR MUNDELL AND SON; AND SOLD IN LONDON BY LONGMAN, HURST, REES, & ORME, AND T. OSTELL, AVE-MARIA LANE. 1806. FROM the very considerable length of many of the Notes, the Author regrets, that, if read in their present situation, during the first perusal of the work, they destroy that continuity of ar gument, which it was his great wish to preserve. He would have placed them at the close of the Volume, had he known their extent in sufficient time; but those of greatest length, which relate to Mr. Hume's original Treatise of Human Nature, were not written till a very large part of the work had passed through the press. He must therefore leave it to the kindness of his Readers to rectify the error, and must request them to follow the continued text, without interrupting and suspending the argument, by attention to the Notes. These, being rather discussions of subjects connected with the general argument, than necessary elucidations of it, may be afterwards read, as if appended. ERRATA. Page 29, line 14. For the philosophers, read philosophers. -124, 6 of the note, for obervations, read observations. |
