Excerpt from Primer of Philosophy Est the title of this booklet be misunderstood. The author must state that he here means by Primer a presentation of the subject in the plainest and most lucid form in which he could put it The Primer of Philosophy is not expressly designed to give instruction to beginners in philosophy. But it is. Nevertheless, emi nently available for that purpose. The uninitiated student will not be bewildered or mystified, in perusing its pages, by high sounding words or unintelligible phrases, but will, despite this lack of learned adornment, find in them the information he desires. The subject is presented with great simplicity so that its leading idea can be gathered by a mere glance at its contents. The most essential technical terms are explained, and the high practical im portance of philosophy is never lost sight of.
