The chief object of Horne Tooke's work was to prove presumptively, by circumstantial evidence drawn from the nature of language, that there is no such thing as abstraction. Of this work Lord Brougham has said, that it "is so eminently natural and reasonable" that "all men are convinced of its truth." The object of the present work is to apply this doctrine of no-abstraction to metaphysics, morality, and politics. In this book the author examines the philosophy of words.

"The author here brings before the public no new system of philosophy, nor any attempted improvements of the science. Neither does he offer a critique upon the writings and speculations of others. He comes forward as a mere historian, narrating the progress of speculative philosophy in modern times, especially among the Germans. And for this purpose, he endeavors to describe summarily but distinctly, all the more noted systems proposed by the metaphysical philosophers from the times of Des Cartes to the present day. In this survey, he endeavors to discriminate accurately between the different systems mentioned, to state clearly and concisely the fundamental principles of each system, its objects and aims, the estimation in which it was held, and the extent to which it has prevailed"--Preface.
