CHEAP SERIES OF ENGLISH PHILOSOPHERS. EDITED BY IWAN MÜLLER, M.A., The objects of the proposed Series are:— (1) To present in a connected and historical form a view of the contributions made to Philosophy by English thinkers, together with such biographical details as their life and times may render expedient. (2) To adapt the work in price and method of treatment to the requirements of general readers, English and American, no less than to those of students. (3) To issue each volume of the Series as a complete and integral work, entirely independent of the rest, except in form and general method of treatment. To each Philosopher will be assigned a separate volume, giving as comprehensive and detailed a statement of his views and contributions to Philosophy as possible, explanatory rather than critical, opening with a brief biographical sketch, and concluding with a short general summary, and a bibliographical appendix. Price and Size: 180 to 200 pp. Size, crown 8vo. Price 3s. 6d. The volumes will appear in rapid succession, definite arrangements having been made for the following:— ADAM SMITH, J.
