PREFACE
Ancient Greek philosophy was divided into three sciences : Physics, Ethics, and Logic. This division is perfectly suitable to the nature of the thing ; and the only improvement that can be made in it is to add the principle on which it is based, so that we may both satisfy ourselves of its completeness, and also be able to determine correctly the necessary subdivisions.
