The Deed of Foundation of the Shaw Fellowship providesthat "it shall be in the power of the SenatusAcademicus of the University of Edinburgh to requirethe holder of the Shaw Philosophical Fellowship,during the fourth or fifth year of his tenure ofit, to deliver in the University of Edinburgh a courseof Lectures, not exceeding four, on any of the subjectsfor the encouragement of the study of which the Fellowshiphas been founded." The following pagesconsist of four lectures delivered in the University ofEdinburgh, in accordance with this provision, in themonth of January 1884.
Since their delivery, the argument of the lectureshas been revised, and in some places enlarged. I havealso thought it better to modify their original form bydividing the discussion into chapters.
