Summary:

"This book is the third in a collection of pieces written between 1699 and 1713 written by the Scottish philosopher Lord Shaftesbury. Volume I comprises: "A Letter Concerning Enthusiasm" (1708), the important "Sensus Communis (Common Sense), an Essay on the Freedom of Wit and Humor" (1709) and "Soliloquy, or, Advise to an Author" (1710). Volume II contains two essays: A revised version of "An Inquiry Concerning Virtue, or Merit" (originally published in 1699) and "The Moralists, a Philosophical Rhapsody" (1709). The current volume (Volume III) contains "Miscellaneous Reflections on the preceding Treatises, and other Critical Subjects" (1711) along with the later-issued "A Notion of the Historical Draught of Tablature of the Judgment of Hercules" (1713). These are reflections that arise from Shaftesbury's self-study, in which he seeks to publicize a just representation of his own "inward character".
