ADVERTISEMENT.

IN various parts of the following Work, references are made to fubfequent fpeculations, which are not contained in it. These fpeculations it is my intention to resume at fome future period: but when I confider the extent of my fubject, and the many accidents which may divert me from the prosecution of it, I cannot venture fo far as to announce, in the title-page of this volume, any promife of a future publication.

Some additional chapters are still wanting, to complete the Analysis of the Intellectual Powers. After finishing this, the course of my inquiries would lead me to treat, in the fecond place, of Man confidered as an Active and Moral being; and, thirdly, of Man confidered as the member of a Political Society.
