Product Description

(FERRIER) CAIRNS, John. An Examination of Professor Ferrier's 'Theory of Knowing and Being'. Second edition. Edinburgh: Thomas Constable and Co. 1856.

31 pp., bound with The Scottish Philosophy: a Vindication and Reply. Edinburgh: Thomas Constable and Co. 1856. 26 pp., bound with Cairns's Electioneering Pamphlet on the Logic Chair. From the Edinburgh Advertiser. Edinburgh and London: William Blackwood and Sons. 1856. 16 pp. The three works bound together in modern marbled boards.

Cairns writes against J.F. Ferrier's candidature for the Edinburgh chair, since his success would involve the summary and sweeping reversal of all that Hamilton counted worthy of adoption. The second pamphlet is a reply to J. Smith's An examination of Cairns' examination of Ferrier. Jessop, p.124.
