Présentation de l'éditeur
Different causes of various kinds and degrees of cogency may exist for prefixing to a new work, that bugbear of the modern reader an I ntroduction. Thus there may be reasons of undeniable expediency for dealing in a separate and initiatory chapter with the general outline or purport of the book. A mong such reasons may be one or more whose special operation gives them a peculiar claim to consideration. The book may e.g. treat of a subject long misapprehended and maltreated by writers who have generally dealt with it in time past; or, like a stranger who can claim kinship among the circle into which he craves admission, the book may be so allied with an older work on the same or kindred subject that it is capable of receiving from it no small amount of reflected illustration in the way of references or extracts. Now both of these reasons combine as justifying an introduction to the present work. 1st. It is related to a work which the author published so far back as 1881 under the title of Evenings with the Skeptics. It may indeed claim to be in some sort a continuation of that work carrying down the history of the chief representative Skeptics to the period of the Renaissance and a century or more beyond. By this, however, is not intended that such a continuity in the subjects of the two works need be emphasized or exaggerated, so that the essential independence, self-sufficingness, and conclusiveness of these two volumes should be deemed for a moment open to question.
