What can be expected next on this website?
The site’s most recent acquisitions were The Methods of Ethics by Henry Sidgwick. Not an early modern work, but one that I think can benefit from my kind of treatment. The problem was not unfamiliar meanings and syntax, but mere prolixity. It's a fine book, but wordier than it needs to be.
“Morals”, which was the only item in Reid’s Essays on the Active Powers of Man that wasn't already on this website.
I have given up working on Pascal's Pensées, My abilities are a poor fit with the needs of that job; it wasn't going well enough, so I threw it in. As I was told by a stock-investor friend of mine: When you have a loss, take it.
Next: some Descartes and Leibniz, probably.
