Excerpt from A System of Mechanical Philosophy, Vol. 1 of 4 As the work could not be extended beyond {bur volumes, it was necessary to select the most important articles for publication and even when this selection was made, I could not confine them within the prescribed limits, without a pro cess of abridgment, which was both troublesome and difficult. In doing this, however, I gene rally confined myselfto the omission of those di gressiorrs of a political and religious nature, which, however appropriate they might have been at the time, were, in every respect, unsuitable to scien tific discussions; though sometimes, from a dif fusenessiof style, and a redundancy of illustration, allowable in an Encyclopmdia, I was enabled to abridge, without omitting any essential step in the investigation. The repetitions so unavoidable in articles written and published at different times. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
