Excerpt from The Alphabet of Economic Science: Part I, Elements of the Theory of Value or Worth
The portions of the book printed in the smaller type should be omitted on a first reading. They generally deal either with difficult portions of the subject that are best postponed till the reader has some idea of the general drift of what he is doing, or else with objections that will probably not present themselves at first, and are better not dealt with till they rise naturally.
The student is strongly recommended to consult the Summary of Definitions and Propositions on pp. 139, 140 at frequent intervals while reading the text.

Excerpt from The Alphabet of Economic Science: Part I, Elements of the Theory of Value or Worth
Be it known, then, that there are certain things, in no degree subject to our power, which we can make the objects of speculation, but not of action. Such are mathematics, physics and theology. But there are some which are subject to our power, and to which we can direct not only our speculations but our actions. And in the case of these, action does not exist for the sake of speculation, but we speculate with a view to action; for in such matters action is the goal. Since the material of the present treatise, then, is political, nay, is the very fount and starting-point of right polities, and since all that is political is subject to our power, it is obvious that this treatise ultimately concerns conduct rather than speculation. Again, since in all things that can be done the final goal is the general determining principle and cause (for this it is that first stimulates the agent), it follows that the whole rationale of the actions directed to the goal depends upon that goal itself. For the method of cutting wood to build a house is one, to build a ship another. Therefore that thing (and surely there is such a tiling) which is the final goal of human society will be the principle by reference to which all that shall be set forth below must be made clear.
