CORRECTIONS. (1) The Rev. J. M. Robertson of St. Ninian's, Stirling, has noted, in the most important of the newly discovered Letters of Hobbees reprinted in MIND XV. 440–7, an error overlooked both here and by the original transcriber, Dr. F. Tönnies. The word “otium” in the last line but one of p. 445 gives no sense: Mr. Robertson suggests “etiain” instead, with obvious propriety, and the more if a comma is inserted after the following word “odiose”.(2) In the first paragraph of Mrs. Ladd Franklin's review of Miss Jones's Elements of Logic in MIND NO. 60, p. 559, it was, by some accident, wrongly stated that so large a relative number as “thirty-six” pages were given to the single discussion of “Existence and a Limited Universe”. No more than 16 pp. are given to what Miss Jones calls ‘Predication and Existence,’ and the subject of “Existence and a Limited Universe” is not treated by her outside of these. On the other hand, the “four” pages which the reviewer said were all that Miss Jones gave “to the whole subject of Induction” should be doubled to about 8 pp., when her various other references to the subject are reckoned, beyond that four-page ‘Note on the Ground of Induction,’ which Mrs. Franklin appears to have alone regarded. |
