No who is cognzant of position of Sir william
Hamilton cutiys,or Of philosophy alude 10 his
name without feeling almost amounting to reverence
He stands alone among living British scholars for his
devotion to the pursuit of truth subjects of abstract
speculation AS the historian of philosophical opinions
within limited range of inquiry he is unrisatd even
by the Continental writer's who have mad this depart
ment their peculiar study. His power of analysis may
justly be termed wonderful. He dissec.s the most
subtle and evancscent eIposions of thought with the
force and precision of surgical operator
Profoundly read in the history of philosophy, bo:h in
ancient ard modern times his criticisms are lusra-
ted and sustained by wealth Of erudton, TO which
shall in vain look for parallel. But with this praise
Of Sir William Hamilton our commentator must
lie has added nothing to stores Of philosophical
truth He is merely critical destructive, negative,
throwpg no fresh light whatever on the great questions
of human power duty aud destiny. His claims as the
founder of philosophical system papably Without
support from his writings We may predict, without
only as a scholar of surprising at'anments while his
professions to advancing me spbyscal philosophy will
be held Of no account
Still, not ungra'e fu to the publishers for
bringing out this characteristic selection from his sr
tgs 1t contains nearly every thing that he has pub
lished on the subcc of metaphysics l. printed in
handsome siye, and the editor has wisely abstained,
for the most part from mixing up his own suggestions
