CLARKE  \nProfessor of Philosophy at University College Cork  \nThe main objective of Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy is to expand the range, variety and quality of texts in the history of philosophy which are available in English. The series includes texts by familiar names (such as Descartes and Kant) and also by less well-known authors. Wherever possible, texts are published in complete and unabridged form, and translations are specially commissioned for the series. Each volume contains a critical introduction together with a guide to further reading and any necessary glossaries and textual apparatus. The volumes are designed for student use at undergraduate and post-graduate level and will be of interest not only to students of philosophy, but also to a wider audience of readers in the history of science, the history of theology and the history of ideas.  \nFor a list of titles published in the series, please see end of book.  \nMARGARET CAVENDISH, DUCHESS OF NEWCASTLE  \nObservations upon Experimental Philosophy  \n􀀁􀀂􀀃 􀀄􀀁􀀂 􀀅􀀆  \nEILEEN O’NEILL  \nUniversity of Massachusetts, Amherst  \nPUBLISHED BY CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS (VIRTUAL PUBLISHING)  \nFOR AND ON BEHALF OF THE PRESS SYNDICATE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE The Pitt Building, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 IRP  \n40 West 20th Street, New York, NY 10011-4211, USA  \n477 Williamstown Road, Port Melbourne, VIC 3207, Australia [http://www.cambridge.org](http://www.cambridge.org)  \n© Cambridge University Press 2001  \nThis edition © Cambridge University Press (Virtual Publishing) 2003 First published in printed format 2001  \nA catalogue record for the original printed book is available from the British Library and from the Library of Congress Original ISBN 0 521 77204 4 hardback  \nOriginal ISBN 0 521 77675 9 paperback  \nISBN 0 511 01365 5 virtual (netLibrary Edition)  \nContents  \nAcknowledgments List of abbreviations Introduction Chronology Further reading Note on the text  \nObservations upon Experimental Philosophy  \nTo Her Grace the Duchess of Newcastle To His Grace the Duke of Newcastle  \nTo the Most Famous University of Cambridge The Preface to the Ensuing Treatise  \nTo the Reader  \nAn Argumental Discourse  \nThe Table of All the Principal Subjects Observations upon Experimental Philosophy Further Observations upon Experimental Philosophy  \nObservations upon the Opinions of Some Ancient Philosophers  \nGlossary Index  \npage vi viii  \nxxxxvii xlii  \nxlv  \n􀀘  \n􀀙  \n􀀖  \n􀀚  \n􀀜  \n􀀘􀀘  \n􀀕􀀙  \n􀀖􀀙  \n􀀖􀀚  \n􀀘􀀞􀀝  \n􀀕􀀖􀀞  \n􀀕􀀜􀀚  \n􀀕􀀛􀀘  \nAcknowledgments  \nDesmond Clarke was not only the ‘‘proximate’’ cause that triggered my work on this edition, he was an ‘‘auxiliary’’ cause, aiding the ‘‘primary and sustaining’’ cause to the very end. I’m indebted to him for his sound advice and invaluable critical comments. I’d also like to thank Hilary Gaskin of Cambridge University Press for countless judicious suggestions. Peggy McKinnon did a remarkable job of swiftly and accurately keying in the unedited version of Cavendish’s text. Edward Abrams provided research and computer assistance; Sylvia Howes handled numerous clerical and administrative matters. Few research projects can get off the ground without funding: for that I’m deeply grateful to Frederick Byron and Lee Edwards of the University of MassachusettsAmherst. I’ve received valuable help from the librarians Richard Talbot, Jim Kelly, Susan Mathew, Mel Carlson, and MJ Canavan, the Interlibrary Loan Office and Microfilm Department of my home institution, the staff of the British Library, and the staffs of the rare book rooms at Harvard University, Smith College, Amherst College, the University of Pennsylvania, and the New York Public Library.
