Soest. Wackre Leute. Neulich hört' ich Einen auf dem Felde vor tausend und tausend Menschen sprechen. Das war ein ander Geköch, als wenn unsere auf der Kanzel herumtrommeln und die Leute mit lateinischen Brocken erwürgen. Der sprach von der Leber weg; sagte, wie sie uns bisher hätten bei der Nase herumgeführt, uns in der Dummheit erhalten, und wie wir mehr Erleuchtung haben könnten.-Und das bewiess er euch Alles aus der Bibel.

Jetter. Da mag doch auch was dran sein. Ich sagt's immer selbst, und grübelte so über die Sache nach. Mir ist's lang im Kopf herumgegangen.-GOETHE.

Die in diesem Excurse enthaltenen Darlegungen haben eine sehr verschiedene Beurtheilung erfahren; sie sind von Einigen unbedingt gebilligt, von Anderen ganz oder zum Theil, kalten Blutes oder in leidenschaftlicher Entrüstung, zurückgewiesen worden. Nur wenige haben gewagt zu behaupten, dass der Thatbestand von mir nicht richtig dargelegt worden sei, und mit diesen eine Verständigung anzustreben, halte ich für ebenso überflüssig als dazu zu gelangen für unmöglich. Viele aber haben den Folgerungen, welche ich aus dem aufgezeigten Thatbestande ableite, sich zu entziehen gesucht in der Weise, dass sie den Text des ersten Buches für theils im Wortlaute verdorben, theils durch mehr oder minder zahlreiche Interpolationen, zum Theil von beträchtlichem Umfange, entstellt erklärt haben; man ist sogar so weit gegangen, anzunehmen, dass an einer allerdings entscheidenden Stelle der ächte Text frühzeitig verloren gegangen und erst später durch Flickwerk ersetzt worden sei. Diesen gegenüber nehme ich zunächst Act davon, dass alle diese Versuche das stillschweigende Eingeständniss enthalten, dass dem überlieferten Texte gegenüber die von mir gezogenen Folgerungen durchaus berechtigt, ja zwingend sind. Sodann aber muss ich erklären, dass alle diese Annahmen und Setzungen mir wenigstens sich als Hypothesen darstellen, die lediglich durch das Bestreben hervorgerufen sind, einer unliebsamen Nothwendigkeit aus dem Wege zu gehen, und dass ich nicht anzuerkennen vermag, es sei für irgend eine derselben ein wirklich stichhaltiger Beweis erbracht worden.-A. KIRCHHOFF.

Il faut dans la piété un grand jeûne d'esprit, un retranchement fréquent, même à l'égard des commerces innocents et purement agréables,

le contraire enfin de se répandre. La façon dont Bayle était religieux (et nous croyons qu'il l'était à un certain degré) cadrait à merveille avec le génie critique qu'il avait en partage. Bayle était religieux, disonsnous, et nous tirons cette conclusion moins de ce qu'il communiait quatre fois l'an, de ce qu'il assistait aux prières publiques et aux sermons, que de plusieurs sentiments de résignation et de confiance en Dieu, qu'il manifeste dans ses lettres. Quoiqu'il avertisse quelque part de ne pas trop se fier aux lettres d'un auteur comme à de bons témoins de ses pensées, plusieurs de celles où il parle de la perte de sa place respirent un ton de modération qui ne semble pas tenir seulement à une humeur calme, à une philosophie modeste, mais bien à une soumission mieux fondée et à un véritable esprit de christianisme. En d'autres endroits voisins des précédents, nous le savons, l'expression est toute philosophique; mais avec Bayle, pour rester dans le vrai, il ne convient pas de presser les choses; il faut laisser coexister à son heure et à son lieu ce qui pour lui ne s'entre-choquait pas.-C.-A. SAINTE-BEuve.

Translate into French or German :

But that reverence for the rule which past experience has impressed upon him checks the impetuosity of his passion, and helps him to correct the too partial views which self-love might otherwise suggest of what was proper to be done in his situation. If he should allow himself to be so far transported by passion as to violate this rule, yet, even in this case, he cannot throw off altogether the awe and respect with which he has been accustomed to regard it. At the very time of acting, at the moment in which passion mounts the highest, he hesitates and trembles at the thought of what he is about to do: he is secretly conscious to himself that he is breaking through those measures of conduct which, in all his cool hours, he had resolved never to infringe, which he had never seen infringed by others without the highest disapprobation, and the infringement of which, his own mind forebodes, must soon render him the object of the same disagreeable sentiments.

1. How does Hamilton defend his thesis that consciousness of an act implies consciousness of the object to which that act is relative? What use does he make of the principle? Discuss the thesis briefly-(a) as to its truth; (b) as to its consistency with other doctrines of Hamilton.

2. Mill says that the statement implies that if we are conscious of a mistaken belief we must be conscious of a non-existent fact, which is absurd. Apply this to a particular case, ex. gr. that of a man who believes the earth to be flat; of what would Hamilton say that he is conscious, and what is the "non-existent fact" of which Mill thinks Hamilton ought to affirm the consciousness?

3. What is Mill's defence of Locke's method against the criticism of Cousin ?

4. Hamilton says it is an idle problem to attempt to imagine the steps by which we may be supposed to have acquired the notion of extension. What is his reason? What is Mill's criticism of the remark? Show that the remark and the reason assigned are not inconsistent with Mill's own view.

5. Mill says that Brown's is not a theory of mediate perception. In his argument to prove this, he uses "mediate" in a different sense from Hamilton's. Explain and comment on the difference.

6. Quote the words of Hamilton which Mill uses to prove that Brown's was not a doctrine of representative perception, and discuss Mill's argument critically.

7. Mill says that Hamilton admits that Consciousness sometimes recognises a non-ego where there is only an ego. What statement of Hamilton does he cite as containing this admission? Give a more correct account of Hamilton's meaning.

8. What is it which, according to Mill, puts the final seal to our consciousness of the groups of possibilities as the fundamental reality in nature? What obvious objections may be made to this "final seal"?
