ABSTRACT
The greater number of Modern Philosophers do not indeed confine themselves to one sect, but, with a more capacious mind, embrace the principles of many: others again are so delighted with that native wisdom which enlightened the earlier ages of the world, that they cannot properly be called Modern Philosophers, but Ancient Philosophers Modernized: and some / there are, whose minds, confined by no object, no principle, and no rule, expand themselves over the divisions and subdivisions of every party, and nobly grasp at once the whole.
