• Excerpt from Philosophical Remains of George Croom Robertson: Grote Professor of Philosophy of Mind and Logic University College, London. With a MemoirFor his elementary lectures at the College he prepared, with all due painstaking, courses of Logic, deductive and inductive, systematic Psychology, and Ethical Theory. All through his career his attention was nearly equally divided between the elaboration of philosophical doctrines according to their most advanced treatment, and the history of philosophy both ancient and modem. The summer courses at University College, which were adapted to the requirements of the m.a. Degree at the University of London, generally took him into fresh ground - the ancients and the modems alternately - and were the occasion of a special study of the original authorities. His accumulated stores of historical material were thus very great, as his publica tions from time to time made manifest. A few more years of active vigour would have enabled him to leave a monument of the history of philosophy second to none. His doctrinal clearness was a notable and pervading characteristic of all his expositions of foregone thinkers.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
