Summary:

I introduce my readers to one of the skirmishes of the great warfare. In May, 1865, Mr. Mill published an Examination of Sir William Hamilton's Philosophy, in which he unfolds principles fitted, as I think, to undermine fundamental truth. In the beginning of the following year, I published this work as a reply. In the third edition of his work, published in 1867, Mr. Mill replied to his critics, including myself. I place in Appendix II. to this edition my answer to Mr. Mill's strictures. The combatants are now brought to very close quarters. We now see clearly what are the questions at issue. The Appendix may be regarded as forming a sort of resumé of the whole controversy, not so far as it relates to Hamilton, but as it bears on what is far more important--the fundamental truth which Mr. Mill has assailed.
