Excerpt from Studies in Little-Known SubjectsAs is almost inevitable in collecting in one volume Essays that have been spread over a good many years, here and there will be found tri¿ing repetitions. But they are, I think, not very frequent, occurring chie¿y in the two papers upon Bruno and in the two sections of the paper on the Census. In these, writing on the same subjects for quite distinct classes of readers, I have had necessarily to go, to some extent, over the same ground. I prefer, however, incurring the charge of occasionally repeating myself to that of obscurity, which might with some justice arise were I to remove illustrations or examples originally appended for the elucidation of passages requiring explanation.It only remains for me here to thank those editors of the periodicals in which the Essays originally appeared, for their courtesy in allowing me to reprint them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
