From the late Archbishop Whately :— "A good logician (and you are one of the very best) will show a superioritv thence resulting, in Languages, in Theology, in Political Economy, in History, in short, in almost everything he may turn to. " There are several different professorial chairs, to any one of which I should not hesitate, if it lay in me, to appoint you to-morrow, in full confidence of your fulfilling the duties of it more than creditably." From the Venerable John F. Lloyd, M.A. of Trinity College, Dublin, Archdeacon of ll'aitcmata : — " I can certify that the Rev. Robert Kidd gained the fir6t Royal Scholarship of his year in Tiinity College, Dublin, and also obtained high classical honours." From John Kflts Ingram, Esq., LL.D., Fellow and Tutor of Trinity College, and Professor of Eng lUli Literature, in the- University of Dublin : — "A 1 those who have the advantage of knowing tho Rev. Robert Kidd, are aware that he possesses abilities of a high order. I'ois, I think, by nature and practice, peculiarly qna'ified for teaching. He has the rare art of awakenii g the minds nf his pupils, and making the knowledge conveyed interesting to them. Besides his extensive attainments in Classics, and in Mental and Monl I'hilosnphy, I can certify that hr lias a s'und knowledge of tho usual fcchojl and College Mathematics." From the Lord Bishop of Meath (Dr. Singer formerly Fellow of Trinity College, and Begins Professor of Divinity, in the University of Dublin) : — " I am convinced, from my knowledge of Mr. Kidd, that whatever ho professes to teach, he will do so thoroughly, and that his own estimate of his acquirements considerably underrates them." From the Right Reverend Samuel Hinds, D.D., lately Bishop of Nortrich (formerly Vice principal of Si Albans Hall, Oxford ■ author of " A History of IhcJlise and Early J'rogress of Christianity," §c.J: — " By far your most valuable qualification is tho power you possess of clearly imparting instruction to others, upon any subject with which you mav yourself be acquainted." The following extracts refer to a work entitled— " A Delineation of the Primary Principles of Reasoning. By Rev. Kobert Kidd, B. A.—London: Richard Bentley. 1856." From the Encyclopedia Britannica, Eighth Edition, article " Logic ":— " Mr. Kthd's Delineation of the Primary Principles of Reasoning J, is exceedingly instructive, in its original matter, and its analytic comparion of recent logical systems. " From the North British Review, May 1858, article " Duaald Stewart ": —

'The school of Locke, and the school ofCondillae, i.nd the school of Keid, have nil failed in constructing a logif of inferei ce which can stand a sifting examination. The Aristo'ilian analysis of reasoning stands at this moment untouched in its radical positions. The objections of Campbell and Stewart hnvc teen answered by Whatcly ; and tl'oao advanced by Mr. J. 9. Mill have been answered by Mr. Kidd, who has also thoroughly undermined Mr. Mill's own attributive theory of reasoning." From the Dr/rsLIN Univeusity Magazine, November 1856:— " A most valuable contribution to logical science. It is the work of an acute, a patient, candid, and a very clear thicker ; and the style of it, without any vain display of ornament or parade of eloquence is forcible aad direct—perfectly free froi>i that flabby leprosy of mysticism which is the contagious disease of modern motaphyeical writers." From AhCHBISHop Whately:— "Asa scholar, and in particular as a logician, he is something very remarkable. I know the most eminent logicians existing, and I do not know his superior." From the Rev. Baden Powell. M.A., Savillian Professor of Geometey in the University of Oxford ('author of " Unity of Worlds," §c J: — " ft will be found of much value as extending and illustrating the ideas of Archbishop "Whately, and more especially leading the studfntto more* general applications. 1 think peeuliaily important that part where there is given so clear on exposition of the real hearing of recent mathematical researches which was much wanting." ' From the Bev. James M'Cosh, LL.D., Professor of Logic and Metaphysics in Queen's College, Belfast {author of "The Method of Divitic Government," §c.): " I reckon it one of the ablest of the many able works on Logic published in our duy. It is particularly successful iu its defence of the Aristo'elian analysis of reasoning, and in its examination of other systems, which some persons would substitute for tue ancient Logic." From Thomab Moffett, Kfio.., LL.B., Frofessor of Logic and Metaphysics in Queen's College, Galwaij: "My opinion of the book may be sufficiently indicated by the fact that I have made it a text book of my classes. The Btylo is Bimple and lucid ; and without the parade of erudition, it is a work of real learning."
