Excerpt from Contributions to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 1 of 4
In a professed Reprint of former publica tions I did not of course think myself entitled to make any change in the substance of what was originally published nor even in the ex pression, except where a slight verbal cor rect-ion seemed necessary, to clear the meaning, or to remedy some mere slip of the pen. I have not however held myself equally pre cluded from making occasional retrenchments from the papers as they first appeared; though these are mostly confined to the citations that had been given from the books reviewed at least in the first two of these volumes: but notice, I believe, is given of all the considerable omissions - in the places where they occur.
