The Present Position of the Philosophical Sciences. An Inaugural Lecture. By Andrew Seth, M.A., Professor of Logic and Metaphysics in the University of Edinburgh. Edinburgh and London, William Blackwood & Sons, 1891. — pp. 32.

This is the address with which Professor Andrew Seth entered upon the Edinburgh professorship vacated last summer by the retirement of Professor Campbell Fraser. Apart from reflections growing out of the occasion, it is substantially an account of the province and function of logic, psychology, and metaphysics; putting in a brief way the thoughts expressed more fully in his article in this number of the Review. It closes with a plea for a teleological and anthropocentric philosophy. The spirit of the address is judicial, courageous, noble, and ennobling.
