PREFACE

IF　amidst　the　infinite　number　of　subjects　contained　in　this　book　there　is　anything　which；　contrary　to　my　expectation；　may　possibly　offend；　I　can　at　least　assure　the　public　that　it　was　not　inserted　with　an　ill　intention：　for　I　am　not　naturally　of　a　captious　temper。　Plato　thanked　the　gods　that　he　was　born　in　the　same　age　with　Socrates：　and　for　my　part　I　give　thanks　to　the　Supreme　that　I　was　born　a　subject　of　that　government　under　which　I　live；　and　that　it　is　His　pleasure　I　should　obey　those　whom　He　has　made　me　love。

I　beg　one　favour　of　my　readers；　which　I　fear　will　not　be　granted　me；　this　is；　that　they　will　not　judge　by　a　few　hours'　reading　of　the　labour　of　twenty　years；　that　they　will　approve　or　condemn　the　book　entire；　and　not　a　few　particular　phrases。　If　they　would　search　into　the　design　of　the　author；　they　can　do　it　in　no　other　way　so　completely　as　by　searching　into　the　design　of　the　work。

I　have　first　of　all　considered　mankind；　and　the　result　of　my　thoughts　has　been；　that　amidst　such　an　infinite　diversity　of　laws　and　manners；　they　were　not　solely　conducted　by　the　caprice　of　fancy。

I　have　laid　down　the　first　principles；　and　have　found　that　the　particular　cases　follow　naturally　from　them；　that　the　histories　of　all　nations　are　only　consequences　of　them；　and　that　every　particular　law　is　connected　with　another　law；　or　depends　on　some　other　of　a　more　general　extent。

When　I　have　been　obliged　to　look　back　into　antiquity；　I　have　endeavoured　to　assume　the　spirit　of　the　ancients；　lest　I　should　consider　those　things　as　alike　which　are　really　different；　and　lest　I　should　miss　the　difference　of　those　which　appear　to　be　alike。

I　have　not　drawn　my　principles　from　my　prejudices；　but　from　the　nature　of　things。

Here　a　great　many　truths　will　not　appear　till　we　have　seen　the　chain　which　connects　them　with　others。　The　more　we　enter　into　particulars；　the　more　we　shall　perceive　the　certainty　of　the　principles　on　which　they　are　founded。　I　have　not　even　given　all　these　particulars；　for　who　could　mention　them　all　without　a　most　insupportable　fatigue？

The　reader　will　not　here　meet　with　any　of　those　bold　flights　which　seem　to　characterise　the　works　of　the　present　age。　When　things　are　examined　with　never　so　small　a　degree　o
