They abound in notes, digressions, cross references, and descriptions often tedious and sometimes irrelevant in short, they are not intended to either amuse or teach, but to stimulate inquiry, they are addressed to the studious in the hope that what is advanced in them may be weighed by men of judgement the statements brought forward verified, or disproved, the opinions expressed confirmed, or rejected.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
