IT were tedioue to the reader were I to recount here the various mischances-want of stereotyping, etc.- vhich have kcpt this work out of print for more than three years, iD, the face of a steadily increasing public demand but ia issuing a new edition it ia necessary, perhaps, that I ghonld offer some remarks on the alterations and additions which I have deemed it expedient to make in the original tcxt. The aItemtions are few, being limited chiefly to the titles of one or two of the chapters, my object being to enable the reader to see more clearly, and at a gIance, the cwential connexions of the successive chapters in a vo lr, the subjcce mater of which is so wide and complex that the approaches Q it must of necessity be more or Iess circuitous and involved. A d accordingly, for How is Justice done the original hide of ih first chapter of the Second Part, I have substituted How ia CIiviIization possible and for The End of Gove1-n peat the title of the second chapter of the same Part, . I haye substituted The End of Civilization and have added a word or two here and there in the text to iflustrate these changes. Of more importance than these alterations are the additions which I have felt it necessary to make in order to give the work a greater completenese the addition, viz., of a section on Hegels Philosophy of History, in the historical retrospect at the beginning of Part VI., where I pass in review the contributions made to the solution of the problem of Civilization by preceding thinkers and a section more fully explaining the New Organon or method which I have used in the investigation of this problem, to be found in the chapter under that title in Part I.The reason I have added the short section on HegeIs Philosophy of History, is that some of my critics with Hegelian leanings have felt that the book vss incompIeto without some reference to this renIly great and important worlc of their revered master, and althoubh X have placed him somewhat out of his strict chronologica1 order, I am in hopes that by so doing I have made his contribution to the Philosophy of Civilization-what he did and what he left undone-all the more clearly seen. As to tlie additional section on the hew Orgrtnon or instrument which I have used for the solution of the problems of Civilizition, it has been rendered almost necessary by the, difficulty which several thoughtful and competent critics havefound in grasping preciseIy that it was that I specially meant by this new instrument. This difficulty has been feIt clliefly by two classes of men on the one hand by the pure AIet. zphysicirtns, who profess to deal with the laws of the mind as seen from the side of consciousness, and on the other by the scientific . Psychologists, who profess to deal with the same laws from the side of the brain and nervous system. Now, it so happened that I had myself defined the New Organon which I proposed to use as the Laws of the Micd in its entirety and as a concrete whole, but l meant by this neither the analysis of the mind into its component parts-into the intellect, the will, the imagination, the sent ments, the passions, c. f the 3leta physician, nor its analysis from the side of the brain of the Psychologist, but undervtood by it rather what the ordinary reader mould understnnd by it, . yiz., the lame that connect and relate these parts to ow another-the intelIect to themill, the mill to the imagination, the imagination to the sentiment8 and sssions, and so on-hwa all of them which one may see exhibited in the concrete and with the greatest subtlety in hakspeares play of OthelIo for example...
