“Like his larger ‘System’ it is likely not only to inform, instruct and practice the student in philosophical reflection, but also to interest and entertain him. Moreover, it contains many practical suggestions to both the teacher and the student well calculated to clear the ground and the air, giving to the undertaking of the young philosopher a wide sweep of open territory and a wholesome atmosphere.” G. A. Tawney.

“It has many of the defects which were noticeable in the larger treatise. The logical divisions are imperfect, and the several parts of the work are not well articulated. Professor Fullerton writes, however, very intelligibly, and uses few technical terms. The volume would be more useful, if there were fuller references in it to the philosophical theories of the later French and German authors.”
