MORAL and METAPHYSICAL PHILOSOPHY. By the Rev. F. D. 



MAURICE, Chaplain to Lincoln's Inn, Professor of Ecclesiastical 

 History, King's College, London. A New Edition, entirely Re-written. 

 Part I. ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY. 



This work treats of the Philosophy before the Coming of Christ. The subjects 

 considered are, 1st, The Hebrew Philosophy; 2cl, the Egyptian, Phoenician, 

 Assyrian; 3d, the Hindoo; 4th, the Chinese; 5th, the Persian; 6th, the Greek; 7th, 

 the Roman; 8th, The Graeco-Hebraic or Alexandrian Philosophy. 



"The Rev. Mr. Maurice's Article on Moral and Metaphysical Philosophy is now expanded 

 into a good-sized volume, and is rendered much more complete and satisfactory. From the 

 earliest dates in the annals of the human race the author follows up his inquiries, and de- 

 fines, as far as they are susceptible of definition from their remains and obscurities, the philoso- 

 phies of the Hebrews, Egyptians. Phoenicians, Hindoos, Chinese, Persian, Grecian, and Roman. 

 Of course, the Grecian occupies the iar largest share of the work, and we have the doctrines of 

 the Schools explained from their beginning, to the end of the later sects." Literary Gazette. 



" Replete with striking and original thought." United Presbyterian Magazine. 



"The volume now before us is the first of the two that are to comprise the History of Moral 

 and Metaphysical Philosophy. Mr. Maurice treats fully of the Ancient Philosophy, commencing 

 with that of the Hebrews, and then proceeding to describe successively that of the Egyptians, 

 Phoenicians, and Assyrians. Thence he turns to the Hindoo Philosophy, of which he presents by 

 far the most clear and intelligible sketch we have ever seen. The Chinese Philosophy follows": 

 then that of Persia, then that of Greece, This he reviews under four grand divisions, the Philo- 

 sophy before the time of Socrates : its progress from Socrates to Aristotle, and to the philosophy 

 of Aristotle he devotes an enth-e section. The succeeding later sects are grouped together and 

 described more briefly. The Roman and the Alexandrian Philosophies complete the subject, 

 which is treated with the fulness of information that proves how intimately the author is ac- 

 quainted with his theme." Critic.

" The third is Sir John Stoddart's most instructive Introduction to the Study of Universal His- 

 tory, re-written,' in which, after illustrating the uses of History as a study, the well-read author 

 gives us a second Dissertation on the separation of the early facts of History from Fable, so full 

 of curious and interesting matter, that we cannot speak too highly in its praise. The facts are 

 very concisely stated, are as numerous as they are important for the true understanding of a 

 vast proportion of those works which are held to be needed for our education and studious toils." 

 Literary Gazette. 



"It is impossible to speak too highly of the enlarged and enlightened views of the author : his 

 estimate of the qualities requisite to an historian should be rc;ul by all who think of venturing 

 upon the composition of history, that they may try their own competency, or make due prepara- 

 tion before they begin. His sketch of the usns of history is of no less interest and importance to 

 the reader. This is a book to bo read in schools, as well as to be placed upon the historical shelf 

 in every library." Critic.
