The purpose of this volume is, by a careful analysis of consciousness^ 

 to prove, in opposition to Sir W, Hamilton and Mr, Mansel, that 

 man possesses a notion of an Infinite Being, and to ascertain the 

 peculiar nature of the conception and the particular relations in 

 which it is found to arise. The province of Faith as related to that 

 of Knowledge^ and the characteristics of Knowledge and Thought 

 as bearhtg on this subject, are examined; and sepai'ate chapters are 

 devoted to the consideration of our knowledge of the Infinite as 

 First Catcse, as Moral Governor, and as the Object of Worship, 

 *'^A book of great ability .... written in a clear style^ and may 

 be easily understood by even those who are not versed in such 

 discussionsP — British Quarterly Review.

Green (J. H.) — SPIRITUAL PHILOSOPHY: Founded on 

 die Teaching of the late Samuel Taylor Coleridge. By the

 Officer of Her Majesty's Privy Council, and Surgeon to St. 

 Thomas's Hospital. Two Vols. 8vo. 25^*. 



The late Mr, Green, the eminent sttrgeon, was for many years the 

 intimate friend and disciple of Coleridge, and an a?'dent strident of 

 philosophy. The language of Cole^^idge^s zvill imposed on Mr, 

 Green the obligation of devoting^ so far as necessary, the remainder 

 of his life to the 07te task of systematising, developing, and establish- 

 ing the doctrines of the Coleridgian philosophy. With the assist- 

 ance of Coleridge's ?nanuscripts, but especially from the knoivledge 

 he possessed of Coleridge's doctrines, and independent study of at least 

 the basal principles and metaphysics of the sciences and of all the 

 phenomena of human life, he proceeded logically to work out a 

 syste?n of universal philosophy such as he deemed would in the main 

 accord zvith his master^ s aspirations. After inany years of pre- 

 paratory labour he resolved to complete in a compendious form a 

 work which should give in system the doct^nnes most distinctly 

 Coleridgian, The result is these two volumes. The first volume
