Excerpt from Philosophical Fragments: Written During Intervals of Business

The following 'Fragments' have been written, either wholly or in part, at various intervals during the last ten or fifteen years, chiefly as affording a little intellectual recreation and some change of Ideas from the ordinary duties of school inspection. They follow, for the most part, the lines of thought I had previously taken up in my Historical and Critical View of the Speculative Philosophy of Europe in the Nineteenth Century, and subsequently in my Introduction to Mental Philosophy on the Inductive Method.

A portion of Chapter IV. appeared in.an article written for the 'Manchester Papers,' and also from a translation I wrote and published of a small work on psychology by Prof. Fichte, then of Tubingen. With this exception, the matter is entirely new.

Since the Historical and Critical View was written, a great change has passed over the whole complexion of European thought The revolutions which began in France just before the middle of the century, and which passed throughout Europe like a great political storm, left an indelible impression upon the whole current of European literature.
