-- THESE Essays appeared originally in the UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE, between the years 1785 and 1792, the subject of each paper suitable to the month in which it was inserted. They were highly approved at that time, not only as amusing and instructive philosophical disquifitions, but also for the poetical illustrations and moral reflections introduced in them. Much inquiry and repeated folicitations having been made after the CONTEMPLATIVE PHILOSOPHER, as a feparate work, it now appears in the present form; the Essays being carefully revised, and arranged as the subjects of them naturally occur in the course.** of the year.
