Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. John Maclaurin, Vol. 1 of 2 Instead of a general critique on the merits and char acteristics of Maclaurin as an author, it was judged better to undertake the humbler but more useful office of prefixing to each treatise an explanation of its design and analysis of its contents. Respecting a book pub lished in our own day, we have ample means of asoer taining, by the different organs of criticism, and other wise, whether it is a work which will reward perusal or be of service to us in any special path of enquiry. In the collected works of older authorship, we are repelled from the study of particular treatises from our ignorance whether they can render us any help in the line of our own researches. By the prefatory notes which accom pany each treatise of our author, the reader can select with ease the discussions which may be of chief interest to him.
