Economy, in History, in short, in almost everything he may turn '-Pj " Thore are several different professorial chairs, to any one of which I should not hesitate, if it lay in oie, to appoint you to-morrow, in full confidence of your fulfilling the duties of it more than, creditably." Fmxn, the Jorttf P. Leoyd, M,A. of. Trinity College, Dublin, Archdeacon of JF r aitemata ;— I " I can certify that the Rev. Robert Kidd gained the first Royal Scholarship of his year in Trinity Ooliego, Dublin, and also obtained high classical honours." ':'■■*.''■" .. t .. From Jonx Keiyls lisr.4,m, E-jq., I/L.D., Fellow and Tutor College, an 4 Professor of Eng- : tish in. t/it University of Dublin :— "And those . who have the advantage of knowing the Usv'. lljhbkt Kidd, art awire that he possesses abilities of a high order. Ho u, I think, by nature uhd practice, peculiarly qui'ified for teaching. He has the rare art of awakening the minds of his pupils, qnd making the knowle Iga conveyed interesting to jjhsm. Besides his extensive attainments in Glassies, and in MenUl and \ford Philosiphy, I cau certify thit h-has a snind knowledge of ilia usual School and College Mathematics." From the Tj->:\t> Bprn? of Me its (Dr Singhu, I formerly Fel'oio of Trinity CiV.et.re, aivl R'.qMi Professor of Dioinity, in the University of Dublin) : — " I am convinced, from my knowledge of Mr. Ividd, tint wtvit'Ver he professes to teich, ha will do so t.h-)roug.'ily, and thit nis <iwti estimtta of his acquirements considerably underrates them." From the Right Revsiekd Samuel Hinds, T).!}., lately Bishop of 'Norwich (formerly Vice-principal of '] St Allan s Hill. Oxford ; author of " A History of .. the Rise and Early of Christianity," $cj;^ "By far your, mo't valuable qualification is the power you poise-is of cloarly imparting instruction to others, npjn any subject with which yon may yourself be acquainted." ~ The following extracts refer to a work entitled— "A Pelineitionof the Primiry Principles of Reasoning By Kev. tt vbert Kidd, B. A- —London : Richard Bentley. 1856.". From the Encvctop.edia Britavnica, Eighth Edition, article " Logic ":— "Mr. Ktno'a Dsltneation of the Primiry Principles of Reasoning /'X-ir'jJ, is exceedingly instructive, b >:th in its original matter, and its analytic, compari* son of recant lo'lpal systems, " From the Noßfit Brithk Review, May .1858j article •' Diiyald Stewart ..'': — ''The school of Locke, and the school of Co.ndilla.% and the school of Reii, have all failed in c.m"tructing a logi ; of inference which can stand a sifting esaTiiaation. Ttta Aristotilian analysis of reasoning stands at this mormnt untouched in its radical p isitions. The objections of Campbell and Stewart bee" answered by Whttely ; and those advanced by Mr. J. S. Mill hive been answered by Mr. Kidd, who has also thoroughly undermined Mr. Mill's own attributive theory of reasoning."

From the DunLlN "Ditivebsity Magazine, November, 1856 :.— " A most valuable contribution to logical BCience. Tc is the work of an acute, a patient, candid, and a very clear thinker ; and the style of it, without any vain display of ornament or parade of eloquence, is forciole and direct—perfectly free from that flabby leprosy of mystieisna which is the contagious disease of modern metaphysical writers." From Archbishop Whatelt:— "As a scholar, and in particular as a logician, he is something vory remarkable. I know the most eminent logicians existing, and Ido not know his superior." From the Pet. Baden Powell, M.A., Savilliaii Professor of Geometry in the University of Oxford (authorof "Unityof Worlds," §cJ: — " It will be found of much value as extending and illustrating the ideas of Archbishop Whately, and more especially leading the Btud»nt to more sreneral applications. I think peculiarly important that part where there is given so clear an exposition of the real bearing of recent mathematical reaearohes, which was much wanting." From the Rev. James M'Cosh, LL.IX, Professor of Logic and Metaphysics in Qiteen's College, Belfast, {aiiiliorof"The Method of Divine Government,"^c.y;-~ "I reckon it one of the ablest of the many able works on Logio published in our day. • it is particularly successful in its defence of the Aristotelian analysis of reasoning, and in its examination of other systems, which Some persons would substitute for the ancient Logic." From Thomas Moppett, Esq., LL.D., Professor of Logic arid Metaphysics in Queen's College, Galway: — " My opinion of the book may be indicate! by the fact that I hive made it a text book of my classes* The style is simple and lucid ; and without the parade of erudition, it is a work of real learning."
