Excerpt from Miscellaneous Remains From the Commonplace Book of Richard Whately, D.D., Late Archbishop of Dublin: Being a Collection of Notes and Essays Made During the Preparation of His Various Works
Tm: additions to this volume of Archbishop Whately's Miscellaneous Remains require some little explana tion. It was not till the Remains were actually in the press, that the remaining portions of the Commonplace Book,' which I had believed to be destroyed, were placed in my hands. They comprise the results of my father's private intellectual efl'orts at a period just before that at which the other volume commences; and though these earlier produc tions are, many of them, marked by,a crudeness of style which would naturally belong to a younger and less practised writer, still many papers contain matter of so valuable and interesting a character, that it has been thought a selection from the best' of then? Would form an acceptable addition *to 3the later written, though earlier published, volume.
It was at first intended to publish the 'additions' as a separate volume; this plan, however, was given up, as there was not enough matter for such a purpose; but a certain number of copies of the Additions' have been printed separately, to meet the require ments of the purchasers of the First Edition.
