Excerpt from The Philosophy of Nature: A Systematic Treatise on the Causes and Laws of Natural Phenomena A work, like the present one, embracing the whole field of scientific knowledge, and venturing on speculations, which in this country have en gaged but little attention, must necessarily contain many errors let these be detected and corrected, and a step in advance will be secured: there must needs be many tentative hypotheses before that happy guess be made which shall cc-ordinate all our knowledge into a perfect system.

Excerpt from On the Origin of the Laws of Nature This treatise is an extension of the 'Note on the Laws of Nature' at the end of the 6th edition of 'Astronomy without Mathematics, ' which at first related to Gravity alone. It also contains the substance of two lectures at the London Institution in 1878 and 9, which many persons wished to see printed. Some of the arguments are necessarily old, but were requisite to make the general argument complete as far as it goes. Possibly none of them may be new; for I never assume that anything is new merely because I have not seen it before or do not remember it. Nevertheless I believe that some of this reasoning will be new to most readers, if not to all, and that it is worth attending to. I have given it as concisely as possible, and with no more illustrations in any case than seemed necessary, out of the infinite number which nature affords, and of which a sufficient number may be read not only in Paley's 'Natural Theology' and the Bridgwater Treatises, but in many modern books which deny the only cause that will rationally account for their origin, as I have shown here.

Excerpt from Letters on the Laws of Man's Nature and Development It will at once occur to every considerate reader, that to establish by evidence and argument the facts and conclusions contained in these Letters would require many volumes. If we put out only one, its contents must be merely expository; and such, and nothing more, is the character of this volume. It has neither the compass, nor the order, nor the rela tive proportion, of a treatise. I believe that it has substance and connection enough to make it of value in its actual shape. Such as it is, we send it forth in the hope that we shall be corrected where we are wrong, enlightened Where we are dim or blind, and sympathized with by those who estimate truth and freedom as we do.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Proceeding in Rem The third book relates to actions against Things Hostile, and the title sufficiently indicates the general nature and scope. The fourth book concerns Things Indebted. Under this head proceedings in admiralty to enforce express and implied contracts range themselves. The extension of the admiralty jurisdiction over the interior waters of the country has ren dered this branch of the general' subject of importance to the legal profession everywhere. In many of the states there are also statutory provisions under which liens somewhat analogous to admiralty liens are given for the redress of common law wrongs, and this treatise ought to do, and it is believed will do something towards bringing about uniformity in state laws.
