Had the above communication and the missing fragment of manuscript been withheld (see [page 161]), it is needless to say that this second edition of Etidorhpa would not have appeared.

This introduction, which in the author's edition was signed by the writer, is here reprinted in order that my views of the book be not misconstrued.—J. U. L.
