Excerpt from Political Economy
As the human body continues to be the same body throughout all the changes of its growth and mature life, so the book now in the hands of the reader has continued the same book as the one first published in the late autumn of 1865. This, too, in the mean time has grown in size, in symmetry, and in maturity of thought and expression; it has been carefully revised, and in large parts rewritten once and again and again; now at length it has been recast throughout for new plates, so that probably there are not now three consecutive pages standing just as they stood in that original edition; also the book appears at present with a new and simpler title, "Political Economy," in order that it may be more easily distinguished from, and brought otherwise into better harmony with, my smaller book entitled "Introduction to Political Economy;" and the number of the chapters (constant till now) has been diminished from sixteen to fourteen, in order to allow a fuller development of the more essential portions of the great subject. But it is the same book still.
