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 Watchman.
