A NEW PRIMER.

A NEW PRiMER
Many men aud women of the
word who otherwise have received
educations, and are considered as
"clever," are nevertheless very poor
in, if not pletely destitute of,
that primary philosophical knowl'
eds e which is indispensable to the
higher or refined understanding of
life and of the world.
The very basis of wisdom is a
clear understanding of the elements
of philosophy or of the precise and
just Specification of these funda
mental words of the human Ian
guage by which we both express our
principal ideas and can correctly
understand those of others, particu.
larly the teachers of the great
thinkers who, by the royal right of
their genius, have become the en-.
lighteners of humanity and the faith
ers of human civilization and pro.
gress. So it is necessary for every
o9e of those who possess the noble
ambition to raise their understand
ing above that of the vaglar, to
acquire that earnest and precise
knowledge of words without which
there can be- in their minds only
misty and chaotic confusion OF
ideas. Oar great dictionaries, as
praiseworthy as they may be
otherwise, can not be
considered authorities when
,he philosophical def aitions of
words are required, because their
object is different, being TO give all
the various and often conflicting
Specifications attributed to the same
word, not only by differen. writer's,
out even by the loose, common Ian
gusge of the uncultured. Beside,
dictionaries have no systematic, but
only an alphabtt.c, co ordination of
words, and consequently they can.
not teach their rel alive philosophical
values.
These ref actions are suggested to
US by a new book we have lst re.
ceived, Primer of Philosophy"
by d. p. earns, which is the very
best, if not the only work, in which
men and women of the world, as
we'll as scholars, will be a. Die to find |
a rational, correct and clear expla.
nation of the words and basic prin.
clples of philosophy. The primer
of Philosophy" really deserves its
title, for it is easy to read and to
not less Ineligible and
satisfactory to the laity than to the
most exacting savant. We warrant
those who read it that they will
congratulate them selves, and
will feel greatly imp owed.
in their understanding and enriched
in thought by it--raised, in fact,
many degrees higher above their
former actual intellectual standing,
and consequently they will feel freer

are. For wisdom is the only true
