A History of Philosophy:

AN EPITOME.

BY DR. ALBERT SCHWEGLER.

TRANSLATED FROM THE ORIGINAL GERMAN, BY JULIUS H. SEELYE.

12mo. 365 pages. Price $1 50.

This translation is designed to supply a want long felt by both teachers
and students in our American colleges. We have valuable histories of
Philosophy in English, but no _manual_ on this subject so clear, concise,
and comprehensive as the one now presented. Schwegler's work bears the
marks of great learning, and is evidently written by one who has not only
studied the original sources for such a history, but has thought out for
himself the systems of which he treats. He has thus seized upon the real
germ of each system, and traced its process of development with great
clearness and accuracy. The whole history of speculation, from Thales to
the present time, is presented in its consecutive order. This rich and
important field of study, hitherto so greatly neglected, will, it is hoped,
receive a new impulse among American students through Mr. Seelye's
translation. It is a book, moreover, invaluable for reference, and should
be in the possession of every public and private library.

_From _L. P. HICKOK_, Vice-President of Union College._

"I have had opportunity to hear a large part of Rev. Mr. Seelye's
translation of Schwegler's History of Philosophy read from manuscript,
and I do not hesitate to say that it is a faithful, clear, and
remarkably precise English rendering of this invaluable Epitome of the
History of Philosophy. It is exceedingly desirable that it should be
given to American students of philosophy in the English language, and I
have no expectation of its more favorable and successful accomplishment
than in this present attempt. I should immediately introduce it as as a
text-book in the graduate's department under my own instruction, if it
be favorably published, and cannot doubt that other teachers will
rejoice to avail themselves of the like assistance from it."

_From _HENRY B. SMITH_, Professor of Christian Theology, Union
Theological Seminary, N.Y._

"It will well reward diligent study, and is one of the best works for a
text-book in our colleges upon this neglected branch of scientific
investigation."
