=Final Causes.=
By Paul Janet, Member of the French Academy. Translated from
the Second Edition of the French, with Preface, by ROBERT
FLINT, D.D., LL.D. 1 vol., 8vo, $2.50.
“The work of Janet is regarded as the most comprehensive
and ably-reasoned work on the philosophy of final causes
that has been produced. It is not a treatise on natural
theology, but a philosophical vindication of the principle
which underlies natural theology. M. Janet, with admirable
discernment, acute analytic power, and strict regard to the
requirements of logic, together with a patient mastery of
the facts out of which the question arises, has placed the
principle of final causes on a strong foundation.”—_The
