Pollock, F: Essays in jurisprudence and ethics.

"The best things in the book are two parallel essays on the Science of the case law' on the legal side and the Casuistry of common sense' in the sphere of ethics. They both attempt to introduce the scientific spirit into the subjects with which they deal, and they bring prominently forward the intimate relation between law and morals."

"We cannot admit Mr. Leslie Stephen to have laid down a science of ethics at all. In the first place, ethical principles are both clearer and higher than the principle that we ought to contribute to the health and cohesion of society. In the next place, a system that does not recognise the will of man as anything distinct from his desires, cannot be regarded as an ethical system. Lastly, a system which admits virtually that the idea ought,' exists only for the virtuous, and only so far as they are virtuous, ignores the most distinguishing and characteristic of all the features of the moral life. Mr. Leslie Stephen has written, not on the science of ethics, but a very thoughtful and in many respects, a very candid book to prove that science, and what most men mean by ethics, are incompatible ideas."- Spectator, June 10, 1882.

"It is remarkable that the one connected work of a scholar who confessedly possessed one of the keenest minds in England should have been superseded within a few years, and should now be almost forgotten. It is equally remarkable that such ephemeral productions as episcopal charges should have been elevated by the same man to the dignity of permanent contributions to theol. ogy as well as to a philosophic history of religious thought. His words might be few but they were always weighty. He left the example of a simple life devoted to the dis. covery of truth, and of a character which by the fulness of knowledge rose above the struggles which absorbed smaller men.

"It is their irrepressible good spirits and not the infor mation that they impart, which constitute the charm of this narrative.

Its distinguishing quality is the same that imparted such a fascination to Lord Dufferin's Letters from high latitudes,' and might be defined as a mixture of youthful folly and animal spirits, slightly restrained by culture and a fair degree of natural refinement.
