Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of European Thought in the Nineteenth Century, Vol. 2 IN this second volume I have carried out the programme which I put forward in the preface to the first volume, thus finishing the first portion of my undertaking - The History of Scientific Thought in the Nineteenth Century. The two volumes form a work complete in itself, and for this reason I have attached an alphabetical index. In addition to the names I mentioned in the preface to the first volume, I have to add those of other friends who have been of great help to me in the course of my work. With Professor Sampson, of Durham University, I have had many helpful discussions on the subjects of this volume, notably on chapters viii. And xiii, which he read in proof. Mr Arthur Berry, m.a., of King's College, Cambridge, has read over chapter xiii, and made valuable suggestions. Mr Archibald S. Percival, m.e., of Cambridge, has read over chapters vi. And x. Professor F. G. Weiss, D.so., of Victoria University, has read chapters viii. And ix. Mr Thomas Whittaker has continued his revision, much to the benefit of the book; and Dr Spence Watson has given the finishingvi preface.
