ETAPHYSICA NOVA ET VETUSTA: A Return to Dualism. ME BY SCOTUS NOVANTICUS. 200 pp., 8vo. From Dr. Hutchison Stirling. "I congratulate you very sincerely on the production of this remarkable little book. Its results are among the best in philosophy; at the same time that your deduction of them from the simple act of percipience is at once original and happy." From MIND, October, 1884. "The book is an analysis of Perception independently undertaken, but with full knowledge of, and reference to, the Kantian investigation. . . The whole is worked out with much sureness of touch and with real philosophical insight. The author's knowledge and use of German thought is flavoured by a certain sturdy Scotch independence as well as by an infusion of Scotch caution. The book makes the impression of having been written by one who has held himself at some distance from the philosophical schools, and who has embodied in his work the results of his mature thought. Relativity [with the author] is something quite different from Relatedness. What is said by the author is said with admirable clearness." From the "Scotsman". As a connected reasoned body of doctrines, the explanation offered by Scotus Novanticus constitutes a new philosophical theory. By the help of this versatile will-force, the writer endeavours . If the reasonings to solve the great problems of philosophy. and conclusions are not always satisfactory, the book will still be interesting to the readers of philosophy on account of the light it throws on several important points of speculative inquiry, and also for the thoroughness with which the doctrines are developed and carried out." From the "British Quarterly Review," July, 1884. "It is clear that the author has been a serious student of metaphysics, and doubtless this is not the last book we shall have from him." From the "Contemporary Review," September, 1884. "The anonymous work Metaphysica Nova et Vetusta, by Scotus Novanticus, well deserves the careful attention of all who can appreciate a sustained piece of reasoning. The book displays much maturity of thought throughout, and the author, whoever he is, possesses a complete grasp of philosophical distinctions. Though he works out his theory forcibly in his own way, he has evidently been largely influenced by Kant and the post-Kantian Idealists, particularly perhaps by Fichte. It may be described as a succinct but comprehensive sketch of a metaphysical psychology." From the "Modern Review," October, 1884. "This is the work of a powerful and original thinker."

MIND A QUARTERLY REVIEW OF PSYCHOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY. I. HALLUCINATIONS. By EDMUND GURNEY. 1. Definition. Is it possible to treat Hallucinations as a single class of phenomena, marked out by definite characteristics? The popular answer would no doubt be Yes-that the distinguishing characteristic is some sort of false belief. But this is an error: in many of the best known cases of hallucination that of Nicolai for instance-the percipient has held, with respect to the figures that he saw or the voices that he heard, not a false but a true belief, to wit, that they did not correspond to any external reality. The only sort of hallucination which is necessarily characterised by false belief is the purely non-sensory sort-as where a person has a fixed idea that everyone is plotting against him, or that he is being secretly mesmerised from a distance. Of hallucinations of the senses, belief in their reality, though a frequent, is by no means an essential feature; a tendency to deceive is all that we can safely predicate of them. If we seek for some further quality which shall be distinctive of both sensory and non-sensory hallucinations, the most hopeful suggestion would seem to be that both sorts |
