Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. Isaac Watts D. D, Vol. 8 of 9: Containing, the Improvement of the Mind; Geography and Astronomy; Philosophical Essays on Various Subjects; A Brief Scheme of Ontology; And a Defence Against the Temptation of Self-Murder
On these accounts it is not to be expected that the same accurate order should be observed either in the whole book, or in the particular chapters thereof, which is necessary in the system of any science, whose scheme is projected at once. A book which has been twenty years in writing, ma be indulged in some variet of style and manner, though I hope there wil not be found an great di erence of sentiment for wherein I had improved in later years ayond what I had first written, a few dashes and alterations have corrected the mistakes: And if the candour of the reader will but allow what is defective in one place, to be supplied by additions from another, [hope there will be found a sufficient reconciliation of what might seem at first to be scarcely consistent.
