Through his excellent translation of the Port Royal Logic, and his introduction and notes, Professor Baynes has rendered good service to logical studies in this country; for if the student desires to understand something of the rationale of the rules laid down in ordinary texts, he could not have recourse to a better work."-London Quarterly Review.

For English Readers.

Edited by PROFESSOR KNIGHT, St Andrews.

In crown 8vo, cloth boards, with Portraits, price 3s. 6d. each.

THE aim of this Third Series will be to tell the general reader who cannot

possibly peruse the entire works of the Philosophers-who the founders of the chief systems were, and how they dealt with the great questions of the Universe; to give an outline of their lives and characters; to show how the systems were connected with the individualities of the writers, how they received the problem of Philosophy from their predecessors, with what additions they handed it on to their successors, and what they thus contributed to the increasing purpose of the world's thought and its organic development.

The Series will thus unfold the History of Modern Philosophy under the light cast upon it by the labours of the chief system-builders. In each work it will be the aim of the writers to translate the discussion out of the dialect of the Schools, which is often too technical, and which presupposes the knowledge of a special vocabulary, into the language of ordinary life. If the philosophical achievements of such writers as Descartes, Spinoza, Bacon, Hobbes, Locke, Leibniz, Butler, Berkeley, Hume, Stewart, Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Cousin, Comte, and Hamilton (not to refer to other names), were thus recorded,—and the discussion popularised without being diluted,—it is believed that the Series would form a useful assistance to the student of Philosophy, and be of much value to the general reader.
