14 The Philosophy of Henri Bergson. 



had given evolution a new turn and a fresh significance. He had 

 suggested a new key to the puzzling enigma of variation. He had 

 advanced a new theory of knowledge. He had sought to 

 rehabilitate instinct and to justify intuition. These were 

 considerable achievements, or, at least, high ambition. Of their 

 success it was premature to speak, but amongst European thinkers 

 of the 19th and 20th centuries it was safe to affirm that a high 

 place will always be assigned to M. Henri Bergson. 



On the motion of Dr. H. L. Stevi^art, seconded by Mr. 

 Henry Riddell, and supported by Professor W. St. C. 

 Symmers, a vote of thanks was accorded to the lecturer, who in 

 the course of his reply said he desired to make it clear that he did 

 not appear as Bergson's advocate, but rather as his expositor. 



The proceedings then concluded.
