Principia Philosophiae Antiquissimae & Recentissimae

   The Latin text of Anne Conway's The Principles of the Most Ancient and Modern Philosophy was drawn from the 1692 London edition. The page numbers refer to the Loptson edition published in 1982 by Martinus Nijhoff. Each segment of English is linked to its corresponding segment of Latin, and vice-versa. These links appear at the beginning of each paragraph, and in the text for paragraph breaks which are not identical.

   Opusculum hoc in tui gratiam edimus, quod conscriptum fuit ante annos haud ita multos a Comitissa quadam Anglicana, femina ultra sexum erudita, Latinae, Graecaeque literaturae peritissima, inque omni philosophandi genere quam maxime versata. Illa cum primum Cartesii imbuta esset principiis, visisque istorum defectibus, postea ex lectione quorundam genuinae Antiquitatis Philosophiae Scriptorum tam multa observavit, ut pauca haec Capitulae in suum conscriberet usum, sed plumbagine saltem & charactere minutissimo. Quae cum post mortem ejus invenirentur, ex parte descripta, (quia quae restant vix legi potuerunt hactenus) & Latinitate donata sunt, ut aliqua hinc toti orbi literato pronasceretur utilitas, eademque jam publici juris fiunt, ut quilibet Autorem mirari, veram Philosophiam aqnoscere erroresque heu! nimium jam communes facilius evitare queat. Quibus Tu fruere & Vale.
