This then, it must be supposed it is true, is not the work itself,
only an abridgment of it. True: but for affording to the
reader a something of a general conception of the sort of instruction obtainable

has been for the subject matter of those observations – and as
it is hoped they may be called explanations, the space
occupied is no more than two not very full 8v pages: of the by the
corresponding part of the work at large, no fewer than
pages. In the endeavouring to spread the like
portions of light into them 224 pages as much more space
might have been found requisite than can be allotted to the
whole of the present design.
