"There are several different professorial chairs, to any oae of whieh I shvuld nor hesitate, it it liy in me, to appoint vou to-morro"»v, in till! confidence oi your fultiUing the duties of it move than creditably.' From the Vesekabi.f. John* F. Lloyd, 51..V. of Trinity College, Ihtblia, Archdwton of IFaitemata :— " I can certify that the Rev. Robert Kidd gained the first Koyal Scholarship of his year in Tiinuy College, Dublin, and also obtained high classical honours." From .Tnus TCei.t.s Is~g:;am, Esq., LL.I>., Fe.'loic and Tutor of Tri;<ify Call eye, and Professor of English Literature, in tin University of Dublin :— " And those who have the advantage of knowing the KeV- Robert Kidd, are aware that hs possesses abilities ot' a high order. Ho is. I think, bv nature and practice, peculiarly qualified for teaching. He has the rare arc of awakening the minds of his pupils, and making tlie knowledge conveyed interesting to them. Besides his extensive attainments in Classics, and in Jlental and Monl Philosophy, I can certify that h» has a s mnd knowledge of the usual School and College Mathematics." From the Lord Bishop of Mf.ath (Dr. Pin'gkh, formerly Fel'ou: of Trinity College. and P:-rjius Professor of Vivinity, in tic University of Dablin) :— " I am convinced, from my knov.'ledja of -dr. Kidd, ihat whs.t->rer he professes to teach, he will do so tUoroivj'ily. and that iiis 'iwrt es'irnitj of his acquirements con=:derabiy underratf-3 them."

Oxford ; out hoe of " A History of the Rise and Forty I'royress of Christianity," J: — "By far your mo ; t valuable qualification is the power jcu possess oi" clearly imparting instruction to others, upon ".ny subject with wh.ch you may yourself be acquaictc4. : ' The following extracts refer to a work entitled— "A I 'olineatian of the Primary Principles of Reasoning. By Rev. Kuberc Kid J, B. A.—London: Bentley. 1556." From //wEycvcKH'.rDrAßrciTAvyicA, Eighth Edition, artictc "Logic":— " Ifn. Kidd'3 Delineation ot the Primiry Frinciflea of Reusoniny ), is exceedingly instraetii-e, both in its original matter, and its analytic comparison o£ recent logical systems. " From the Xorth British Rev:ew, May 1808, article " Bugald Stewart — "The school of Locke, and the school of Condilia?, and the school of iiei l, have all filled in conftrueting a logi i of inference which can stand a sifting eri-niaaiion. The Aristotiiian annlysia of reasoning stands at this mom'-nt untouched in its radical positions. The objections of Campbell and Stewart h<ve bee" an3'.vered by Whately ; and tnoje advanced by ATr. .J. 3. ilill h tve been answered by Mr. Kidd, who ha 9 also thoroughly undermined s[r. Mill's own attributive theory of reasoning." From the Dnr.Ll.v Ui'ivEß-siTY Magazi.ve, Sovember, 185 a:— " A most valuable contribution to logical science. It ia the work of an acute, a patient, candid, and a very elear thinker ; and the style of it, without any vain display of ornament, or parade of eloquence, is forciole aad direct—perfectly free from that flabby leprosy of mysticism which is the contagious disease of modern metaphysical writers." From AucHßisnop Whately: — " As a scholar, and in particular as a logician, he is something very remarkable. I know the most eminent logicians existing, and I do not know bis superior." From the Ksv. Bade.v Powell. M.A., Savillian Professor of Geometry in the University of Oxford (author of "Unity of iTorltLf " It will be found ot much Talue as extending and illustrating the id-ras of Archbislnp Whatelj' and more especially leading the student to more general applications. I think peeuliuily important tint part where there is given so clear an exposition of the real bearing of recent nvAthciiiulic'.il researches which was much wanting." ' From the Rkv James Sl'Cosh. LL.D., Professor of Loorc and Metaphysics in Queen'h Collene, lielfast \autJio,'of il The Method of Li vine Govcni<,icnt^§v.); " I reckon it one of the ablest of the many able works on Logic published in our day. It is particularly successful in its defence of the Aristotelian analy-is of reasoning, and in its examination of other systems, which some persons would substitute for tile ancient Logic. From Thomas Mop ?ett , JCsft., LL.D., Prof-ssor o, Logic and Metaphysics Queen's College, Oalway:- " My opinion of the book may bo suffiei»ntli inthe th "' l . hlvu made it a text-book of my classes.
