Alexandria and Her Schools ; Four Lectures Delivered at the Philosophical Institution, Edinburgh

Meer over het boek

The author reflects on the humility and apprehension surrounding the choice of subject matter for their lectures, which were originally selected by the institution. They express concern over the fragmentary nature of their work and the possibility of inaccuracies, acknowledging the critical environment of Cambridge, where the lectures were published. Despite these reservations, the author feels a deep connection to Cambridge, crediting it for shaping their thoughts and methods, which ultimately motivated the decision to share this work with a broader audience.
