From the Into AuchbiSJlOP Wiiately :— " A good logician (and you aro one of the very best) will show a superiority thence resulting, in Languages, in Theology, in Political Economy, in History, in short, iu 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 Venekable John E. Lloyii, M.A. of Trinity Collate, JJublin, Archdcucon of Wailcmtita :— " I can certify that the Rov. Robert, Kidd gained the first Royal Scholarship of his year in Trinity College, Dublin, and also obtainod high classical honours." From Jons- Kklls Is-guam, Esq., LL.D., Felloio ami Tutor of Trinity Colleye, and Professor of English Literature, in thk University of Dublin :— "And those who havo the advantage of knowing tho Rev. Rohebt Kidd, aro aware that he possesses abilities of a high order. Ho is, I think, by nature and practice, peculiarly qualified for teaching. He has tho rare art of awakening the minds of his pupils, and making the knowledge conveyed interesting to them. Besides his extensive attainments in Classics, and in Mental and Mo:\il Philosophy, I can certify that li-" has a-sound knowledge of the usual School and College Mathematics." From the Loud Bishop op MeitH (Dit. SiNGkk, formerly Fel'oic of Trinity College, and Regius Pro. fessor of Divinity, in the University of IjublinJ ;— " I am convinced, from my knowledge of Mr Kidd, that whatever he professes to teach, h-j will do so thoroughly, and that his own estimate of his acquirements considerably underrates them." From the Right Reverend Samfkl Htxns, D.D., lately Ilishop of Norwich (formerly Vice-principal of St. Allan's Hall, Oxford ; author of " A History of the Itise and Early Progress of Christianity," §c.)-.— "By far your most valuable qualification is the power you possess of clearly imparting instruction to others, upon any subject with which you mav yoursolf be acquainted." The following extracts refer to a work entitled— " A Delineation of tho Primary Principles of Reasoning. By Rev. Robert Kidd, B. A—London: Richard Bentley. 1556." From Me Encyclopaedia Biutavnica, Eighth Edition, articlc " Logic — " Mb. Kidd's Delineation of the Primary Principles of Reasoning flS'itiJ, is exceedingly instructive, both in its original matter, and its analytic comparison ol recent logical systems. " From the North British Review, May 1858, article " Dttgald Stewart 1 ': — " Tho school of Locke, and the school of Condillae, nnd the school of Reid, havo all failed in constructing a logi? of inference which can stand a siftmg examination. The Aristotilian analysis of reasoning stands at this moment untouched in its radical positions. The objections of Campbell and Stewart have been answered by Whntely ; and those advanced by Mr. J. S. Mill have been answorcd by Mr. Kidd, who has also thoroughly undermined Mr. Mill's own attributive theory of reasoning." From the Duiuin University Maqazixe, November. 1856:— " A most valuable contribution to logical science. It is the work of an acuto, a patient, candid, and a very clear thinker ; and the style of it, without any vain display of ornament, or parade of eloquence, is forcible aod direct—perfectly free from that flabby leprosy of mysticism which is tho contagious disease ol moderu metaphysical writers." From Akckbishop Wuately: As a scholar, aud in particular as a logician, he is something vary remarkable. I know tho most vmintmt logicians existing, and I do not know his superior. From the Rev. Bade* Powell. M.A., Savillian Professor of Gkometry in the University of Oxford (author of " Unity of H'or/ds," §c.J " It "'ill ho found of much value as extending and illustrating the id-as of Archbishop Whutely and more especially leading the student to more peneral app ications. I think peculiarly important that part where there is given so clear on exposition of tho real bearing of rccont mathematical researches, which was much wanting." From the Rev Jamks M'Cosh. LL.DProfessor of Logic: and Metaphysics in Queen's College, Pel fast {aidhoi of Ihc Method of Blmne Oovgyanient^: " I reckon it one of the ablest of tho many able works on Logic 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 somo persons would substitute for tho ancient Logic." UoFFKTV >. SQ ' LL.D., Professor of Logic ami Metaphysics m Queen's College, Oalwag:— "My opinion of the book may be sufficient f indicated by the fact that I have made it a text-book of my classes. The style is simplo and lucid ; and without the parade of erudition, it is a workofreid learning/ ONE HXJNG A. MR. P. kORTOtf, Chemist, Queen-street, Onehunga, and Mrs. A. C.
