Description:
THE materials which the author had prepared for this
book were found greatly to exceed the limits assigned
to it. He has therefore, besides other parts of his plan
to which special reference need not here be made, been
compelled to leave out the account of Spinoza's life and
letters, and to confine the work to an examination of his
philosophical system. This is the less to be regretted
that the life has been so fully narrated in the recent
works of Mr Pollock and Dr Martineau. These works
contain, also, very able and elaborate expositions of the
Spinozistic philosophy, but this book attempts to deal
with that philosophy from a point of view different
from that of either of these writers.
