Excerpt from The Balfour Lectures on Realism: Delivered in the University of Edinburgh
Among the writings of Professor Pringle-Pattison which never appeared in a permanent form during his lifetime the most important was the Third Series of Balfour Lectures. These were delivered early in 1891, six months before his transference from the Chair of Logic in the University of St Andrews to the corresponding Chair in Edinburgh. The history of the Balfour Lectureship, and some indications of the reasons which prevented Professor Seth, as he then was, from publishing these Lectures on Realism as the sequel to Scottish Philosophy and Hegelianism and Personality, will be found in Chapter IV. of the Memoir which forms the earlier part of the present volume. So they need not be set out at length here. But it is well to state in a sentence the reasons which have led to their publication now. They not only complete a series of Lectures the earlier instalments of which awakened keen interest at the date of their publication and for long after, but they fill a considerable gap in the record of Professor Pringle-Pattison's philosophical development, and show how he regarded the problems of Epistemology at the end of his first period as a teacher and writer.
