Summary:

"The design of laying this work, in abridged form, before the public, is to present the philosophy of mind in a clear light, and adapted to the demands of the present age. The topics and arguments are very numerous--the latter, brief, plain, and freed from many and long-existing embarrassments. This volume is intended to contain at least one-third more items and arguments, immediately connected with the science, than any other work of the same number of pages extant; embracing those most important, and in their appropriate order"--Preface.
