Excerpt from History of the Philosophy of Mind, Vol. 4: Embracing the Opinions of All Writers on Mental Science From the Earliest Period to the Present Time
The metaphysical writings of Professor Stewart were hailed, on their first publication, with the most lively feelings of pleasure, by all readers who felt any interest in mental speculations. They were justly entitled to this flattering reception. Never had abstract mental inquiries been clothed before in such brilliant and elegant language; nor been propounded in such a spirit of just criticism; nor been guided by such common-sense principles. Every question and every controversy was touched with the hand of a master; and the author everywhere shows how profoundly and accurately he had studied the doctrines and opinions of his predecessors.
