ough there were none of much distinction, who followed the
teaching of Stewart or of his opponents of the Hartley and Darwin
school. It would be necessary also to insist upon the growing interest
in the physical sciences, which were beginning not only to make
enormous advances, but to attract popular attention. For my purpose,
however, it is I think sufficient to mention these writers, each of
whom had a very special relation to the Utilitarians. I turn,
therefore, to Bentham.

NOTES:

[157] Nine volumes of Dugald Stewart's works, edited by Sir W. Hamilton,
appeared from 1854 to 1856; a tenth, including a life of Stewart by J.
Veitch, appeared in 1858, and an eleventh, with an index to the whole,
in 1860. The chief books are the _Elements of the Philosophy of the
Human Mind_ (in vols. ii., iii. and iv., originally in 1792, 1814,
1827); _Philosophical Essays_ (in vol. v., originally 1810); _Philosophy
of the Active and Moral Powers of Man_ (vols. vi. and vii., originally
in 1828); _Dissertation on the Progress of Philosophy_ (in vol. i.;
originally in _Encyclopaedia Britannica_, in 1815 and 1821). The lectures
on Political Economy first appeared in the _Works_, vols. viii. and ix.

'_Inquiry_,' he adds, is ten times better worth reading than all the
philosophy together which has been written since Kant.

corresponding perception, by means unknown.'--Reid's _Works_, 188.

where, though sympathising with Reid's aim, he admits a 'great blunder.'

Jeffrey candidly confessed Stewart's reply to be satisfactory.
