The circumstance that the following remarks were originally
published as an anonymous article in a Review, will best explain
the style in which they are written. Absence from England prevented
me from becoming acquainted with Mr. Mill's Examination of Sir
William Hamilton's Philosophy till some time after its publication;
and when I was requested to undertake the task of reviewing it, I
was still ignorant of its contents. On proceeding to fulfil my
engagement, I soon discovered, not only that the character of the
book was very different from what the author's reputation had led
me to expect, but also that my task would be one, not merely of
criticism, but, in some degree, of self-defence. The remarks on
myself, coming from a writer of Mr. Mill's ability and reputation,
were such as I could not pass over without notice; while, at the
same time, I felt that my principal duty in this instance was the
defence of one who was no longer living to defend himself. Under
these circumstances, the best course appeared to be, to devote the
greater portion of my article to an exposition and vindication of
Sir W. Hamilton's teaching; and, in the additional remarks which it
was necessary to make on the more personal part of the controversy,
to speak of myself in the third person, as I should have spoken of
any other writer. The form thus adopted has been retained in the
present republication, though the article now appears with the name
of its author.
