In re-editing the work, I have found it necessary entirely to re-write some chapters and to recast others, and to modify or omit some passages given in former editions. For the sake of those readers who are already familiar with the Principles, I subjoin a list of the chief additions now made for the first time, pointing out the pages at which corresponding matter occurs in the ninth and tenth editions.
