Excerpt from Varia: Studies on Problems of Philosophy and Ethics
What is contained in this volume was spoken, in the first instance, to students of Philosophy at St Andrews.
It has been my custom to begin the work of each session at the University by an address on a topic detached from, and yet related to, the course of lectures which followed. The introductory one, while dealing with matters of permanent interest, has also borne upon a question of the hour. A selection of twelve is now published, as a humble addition to the work which my predecessors have done, in the direction and enlargement of philosophical studies at St Andrews. I well know what the greatest of them - Chalmers, Ferrier, and Flint - accomplished; and that I cannot add to it except in a secondary way. A few of the lectures of Chalmers, and many of those by Ferrier, have been published; while much of Professor Flint's work at St Andrews is embodied in his Philosophy of History.
