Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ethics of Aristotle, Vol. 1 of 2: Illustrated With Essays and Notes; Containing Essays on the Ethics of Aristotle
These lectures I listened to ten years ago in Balliol College; they were the first introduction into Oxford of the study of the history of philosophy. Those who have had the privilege of hearing them Will feel, what I cannot h0pe here to convey, the sense of their great excellence and importance. I must also thank the kindness of my friend, Mr. Edward Poste, Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, whose Aristotelian learning has been of the greatest service to me, especially at the beginning of my labours; and I must conclude by Offering my thanks to my friend, Mr. James Ferrier, Professor of Moral Philosophy in the Uni versity of St. Andrews, for the profound metaphysical point of view, which in many a conversation on phi losophy, he has shown me.
