plausbility and pointing mt the direction in which
better solution can probably be found Of tho con-
struotion Of the solar system. In the course OF the
discussion, the writer incidentally aludes to tho
views Of Mr.. Herbert Spencer, of whom he remarks;
" Undoubtedly the eleerest and the ebest OF the
champions and expounders Of this theory he brings
to It's illu.rntion and defense an extraordinary so
gacity and an aptitude for dealing with scientific
facts at second hand and in their broad general re-

Empiricisui, starting from the Poste1ior' cogni-
ton of Extension, denies the pri0ri cognilion OF
Space. Each repndiates a truth possessed by tie
other, and grounds its thesis on the identification
of space ind Extension. The only means Of their
common refutation is the establishment Of a pro-
found distinction between Space and Extension,
and rigorous adhesion IN IL. II then becomes ap-
