a great mathematician. He was about to abandon a distinguished position, and to go forth as a missionary on what were then called high Calvinistic principles. If I remember right he spoke in this wise : " Observe how this heathen philosopher, the most eminent of logicians, could not. get through his first book of Ethics 108 AEISTOTLB. without a complete fallacy; he starts with proposing to find the summum homim, as the object of desire, and he is obliged to introduce a wholly different principl...e of abstract ' right, or excellence ; this shows the insufficiency of reason without revelation." . On mentioning this statement to the Senior, whose religious doctrines were opposed to those of the Junior; as far as I can remember he said : " Very true, Aristotle was inconsistent; but, don't you see, his faith was stronger than his logic." Both my kind teachers made great sacrifices of position and friendship for conscience' sake ; and both were led by their own reason, or by some more powerful influence, though in opposite directions, to different religious conAdctions from those they then held: I may venture to suggest that in both cases, logic had an undue influence on their practice, sincere and conscientious as it was.
