The following Essays in Philosophy were originally contributed to theN orth British Bevietc, in the period extending from 1846 to 1855. They are now collected and republished, with a few slight alterations, chiefly in order to afford ready access to the evidence they may furnish, in support of the authors application for the Chair of Logic and Metaphysics in the University of Edinburgh, left vacant by the death of Sir William Hamilton. In this point of view, these Essays are relevant, principally as manifesting the general tendency of the writers opinions, in regard to Logical and Metaphysical questions that are prominent in the discussions of theN ineteenth Century, and especially in the works of the distinguished philosopher who recently adorned theM etropolitan University of Scotland.
