Notes:
"As the former revised edition of this work was indebted in a measure ... to a work called the 'Young philosopher,' published some years since by Jason Lothrop, it was deemed proper, when publishing it, to insert the name of that author in the title page. In preparing the present edition it was found necessary ... that much of the former edition should be omitted and its place supplied by selections from more recent publications. The present edition consequently being in most respects a new compilation, containing a few selections only from Mr. Lothrop's original work, his name could not ... be retained as the author."--advertisement, p. [vii]-viii.
