1. α. ̓́Ετι οὐδ ̓ ὅμοιόν ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῶν τεχνῶν καὶ τῶν ἀρετῶν. Aristotle asserts that this difference exists as to what constitutes rÒ ĐÙ in each case; explain this?

b

b. What are the conditions required in each case for rò ε?

3. By what circumstances is it determined which" extreme" is more opposed to the "mean ;" and what instances are given?

4. State the different senses in which the term "justice" may be employed according to Smith. What are the characteristics of it in each case? One of these senses seems to Smith nearly equivalent to Aristotle's conception of virtue ?

5. How does Smith criticise the doctrine of the Epicureans concerning the virtues; and what circumstance gives plausibility to that doctrine ? 6. To what circumstances does he trace the apparent plausibility of Mandeville's system; and how did it take its rise?

MR. TARLETON.

1. Show that Butler, in his Dissertation, appears to waver in reference to the definition of virtue. The reason for this apparent uncertainty may be discovered in his first sermon on Human Nature.

2. In arguing for the existence of the Moral Faculty, Butler makes use of an admission of Hobbes. What is this admission, and how may the existence of the Moral Faculty be deduced from it?

3. State accurately the proposition which Butler endeavours to prove in his first sermon on Human Nature, and give a summary of the arguments which he brings forward in support of it.

4. Assuming that the nature of man is adapted to some definite course of action, give the argument for a future life tacitly contained in Butler's third sermon on Human Nature.

5. Give Stewart's arguments to show that we have a sense of duty which is not resolvable either into a regard for our own happiness, or into a regard for that of others.

6. Butler shows that if benevolence and the want of it, singly considered, were the whole of virtue and vice, we would be led to a conclusion which is apparently very much opposed to the theory in question.

7. Stewart, in his account of Self Love, objects to a supposed analogy which Butler seems to think important. Stewart himself afterwards points out a striking feature in this analogy.

8. Give an account of the different arguments mentioned by Stewart for the existence of the Deity, and discuss the question of his attributes and moral government.

MR. FERRAR.

Translate the following passage into Greek Verse:

"Prince, when of late you pray'd me for my leave
To move to your own land, and there defend
Your marches, I was prick'd with some reproof,
As one that let foul wrong stagnate and be,
By having look'd too much thro' alien eyes,
And wrought too long with delegated hands,
Not used mine own: but now behold me come
To cleanse this common sewer of all my realm,
With Edryn and with others; have you look'd
At Edryn? have you seen how nobly changed?
This work of his is great and wonderful.

His very face with change of heart is changed.
The world will not believe a man repents:
And this wise world of ours is mainly right.
Full seldom does a man repent, or use
Both grace and will to pick the vicious quitch
Of blood and custom wholly out of him,
And make all clean, and plant himself afresh.
Edryn has done it, weeding all his heart
As I will weed this land before I go."

On the other hand, it is also to be borne in mind that political machinery does not act of itself. As it is first made, so it has to be worked, by men, and even by ordinary men. It needs not their simple acquiescence, but their active participation; and must be adjusted to the capacities and qualities of such men as are available. This implies three conditions. The people for whom the form of government is intended must be willing to accept it; or at least not so unwilling, as to oppose an insurmountable obstacle to its establishment. They must be willing and able to do what is necessary to keep it standing; and they must be willing and able to do what it requires of them to enable it to fulfil its purposes. The word “do” is to be understood as including forbearances as
