"The author's mode of working out his thought may seem to symbolize his ethical theory itself. The sense of effort that is a part of all moral action ends, as he shows, in a sense of harmony. Now 'Scotus Novanticus' requires from his readers a distinct intellectual effort in order to grasp his thought; but if they are willing to make this effort, they are really rewarded by having in their minds an idea of a coherent system which has many features of originality, and which, regarded as a whole, produces (whether we agree with it or not) that sense of power to contemplate the world and action from a general point of view which is characteristic of the philosophic attitude as distinguished from the attitude of science and common sense."-From "The Westminster Review." "This volume is characterized, we need hardly say, by all the excellent qualities that distinguished our author's previous work....Scotus Novanticus' is a skilful and patient analyst of the phenomena of mind, and writes in a style that conveys very clearly what he wishes to express. It is a case of clear thought mirroring itself in clear language.... We remarked in regard to his 'Metaphysica' that it read like a mathematical demonstration: we have the same to say of this. 'Scotus Novanticus' has evidently a wholesome horror of 'padding.' His argument is about as condensed as it could well be. Then he is so careful in the use of his terms that we run a risk of misleading our readers by employing them without also giving his precise definitions of them. We refer our readers, therefore, to the work itself. It will amply repay careful study, and only by careful study can the argument be fully appreciated. Ethica' is a careful study, and a valuable contribution to ethical science."-From "The Scottish (Quarterly) Review." "The present treatise contains a very close discussion of the chief points in debate between the different schools of moralists; and the author seems, in my judgment, to be remarkably successful in harmonizing the elements of truth in each.... It is not possible here to do more than single out a few points from a book which rewards a careful study."-From "The Contemporary Review." ON THE “ METAPHYSICA” AND "ETHICA" TOGETHER. "There is nothing absolutely new in [Dr Martineau's] doctrine [as to necessity of conflict, &c.]. . . It has been admirably expounded in a recent volume of great force of thought and scientific precision of analysis, under the title of Ethica, or the Ethics of Reason.' This volume bears to be by 'Scotus Novanticus,' author of a preceding volume entitled 'Metaphysica Nova et Vetusta.' Both volumes are marked by much vigour and lucidity, grasp of philosophic distinctions, and capacity of following and combining threads of thought to their end.. We have pleasure in recommending them to the attention of all students of Philosophy."-From "The Edinburgh Review." ... "Das erste dieser beiden eng zusammengehörigen Bücher desselben ungenannten Verf. (des Prof. S. S. Laurie) lässt sich als eine Phenomenologie des Geistes behufs der Constituirung einer erkenntnisstheoretischen Metaphysik bezeichnen, die von Kantischen, streng rationalistischen Gesichtspunkten ausgehend, sich von da mit Hülfe weiterer an Fichte und Hegel erinnernden Elemente zu einer vollständigen, eigenthümlichen Ansicht der Sache erhebt." "In der Behauptung der Idee der Persönlichkeit steht der Verf. durchaus auf Kantischem Boden; sein Streben ist aber die theoretische und praktische Seite der Vernunft einander möglichst zu nähern, um eben aus ihr als einem einheitlichen Princip eine vollständige systematische Erkenntnisseinheit zu deduciren, wobei er sich dem absoluten Idealismus der nachkantischen deutschen Philosophie annähert. Das Unternehmen des 'Scotus Novanticus' kann als einer der achtbarsten Versuche unserer Zeit, in Anknüpfung an die durch Kant begonnene philosophische Bewegung zu einer, mehr als bisher geschehen ist, abschliessenden Form eines speculativen Systems zu gelangen, betrachtet werden."
