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

DESCARTES. By Professor J. P. MAHAFFY, Dublin.

"He goes for himself to the original sources, and while independently sifting the available evidence (including the results of later researches), is able, with his practised pen, to present a really attractive sketch of the man and all his varied activity."- Mind.

BUTLER. By the Rev. W. LUCAS COLLINS M.A.

"Is conspicuously able and interesting, and will, no doubt, hold a permanent place in philosophical literature."-Modern Review.

BERKELEY. By Professor A. CAMPBELL FRASER, Edinburgh. "Professor Fraser brings an ease of expression and a lucidity of thought that, we venture to think, can hardly fail to throw the general scheme of eighteenth-century thought into clearer relief even for the professed student of philosophy."-Spectator.

FICHTE. By Professor ADAMSON, M.A., Manchester.

"It is characterised by a mastery of method and a clearness of exposition which render it a real introduction to the works of the philosopher."-Athenæum.

KANT. By Professor WALLACE, Merton College, Oxford.

"Superior to anything we have yet had from an English pen: it is not only rich in facts, but presented in a lively and entertaining style. ...... Mr Wallace's estimation of Kant is at once lofty and sober,' Academy.

HAMILTON. By Professor VEITCH, Glasgow.

"As an introduction to the study of Sir William Hamilton's works, it is everything that can be desired....... Within the space of a handy volume for the pocket he has given a most valuable exposition, which will be as acceptable to the thoughtful reader as to the student of logic."--Morning Advertiser.

HEGEL. By Professor EDWARD CAIRD, Glasgow.

"Professor Caird's monograph on Hegel is a most satisfactory piece of work.......Life and philosophy are interwoven in a most skilful and interesting fashion in the first half of the book; while in the second half the principles and outlines of the Hegelian philosophy are stated with a breadth and perspicuity that place in clear relief the relations of this way of thinking to all the main problems of modern life." -Scotsman.

LEIBNIZ. By JOHN THEODORE MERZ.

"The position of Leibniz is fairly gauged-his famous views and monads on pre-established harmony, on the principle of sufficient reason, and his theological optimism, can be learned by readers with accuracy and considerable fulness and clearness in these pages."Scotsman.

VICO. By Professor FLINT, D.D., Edinburgh.

"Professor Flint has presented the pith of Vico's writings with great clearness and tact....... He has indeed done his work in such a masterly manner that Vico can no longer be said to be practically unknown in England.”—British Quarterly Review.

HOBBES. By Professor CROOM ROBERTSON, London.

"A model of what work of the kind should be, exact and learned, yet never dull; sympathetic, yet perfectly dispassionate-in a word, a thoroughly appreciative survey of the life and work of one of the most fertile and comprehensive of English thinkers."-London Quarterly Review.

HUME. By the EDITOR.

"It would not be easy to speak of this little volume in too high terms. It is at once genuinely popular and genuinely philosophical.

.As it is, it is genuinely philosophical, and yet so interesting that to any one with a philosophical turn at all-and no such series could be intended for those who have none-it will be in the highest degree attractive.......It is simply excellent, clear, subtle, graphic-the work of a man with a rare capacity for philosophical exposition."-Spectator. SPINOZA. By the Very Rev. Principal CAIRD, Glasgow.

"A masterly piece of exposition, and, as such, will be welcomed by all students of philosophy. A metaphysical disquisition, extremely able, and very valuable."-Globe.
