Excerpt from A Dictionary of Philosophy in the Words of Philosophers: Edited, With an Introduction

The collection of passages from philosophical writers which has formed the basis of this Dictionary was made by a collator of experience. When, at the request of the Publisher, I examined the manuscript, it appeared to me that, whilst some authors were too fully represented, there was an inadequate representation of several important schools, and that some topics of moment were scarcely touched upon. I felt it necessary, in editing the volume and preparing it for the press, to deal somewhat freely with the material placed in my hands.

Passages of undue length have in many instances been cut down. On the other hand, very many new quotations have been introduced from writers of recognised merit and inﬂuence. More particularly, a fair representation has been secured of the teaching of (i) the physiological and evolutional psychologists of our own time, and (2) the rational idealists' who have of late years taken so prominent a position in British Philosophy. The material has also been completely re-arranged.
