MR. TYRRELL.

GREEK VERSE.

He presently

-as greatness knows itself-
Steps me a little higher than his vow
Made to my father, while his blood was poor,
Upon the naked shore at Ravenspurg;
And now, forsooth, takes on him to reform
Some certain edicts, and some straight decrees,
That lay too heavy on the commonwealth :
Cries out upon abuses, seems to weep
Over his country's wrongs; and, by this face,
This seeming brow of justice, did he win
The hearts of all that he did angle for.
Proceeded further; cut me off the heads
Of all the favourites, that the absent king
In deputation left behind him here,
When he was personal in the Irish war.

SHAKSPERE.

Remembrance oft shall haunt the shore

When Thames in summer wreaths is drest,
And oft suspend the dashing oar,

To bid his gentle spirit rest!

And oft, as ease or health retire

To breezy lawn or forest deep,

The friend shall view yon whitening spire,
And 'mid the varied landscape weep.

GREEK

PROSE.

Parrhasius was a native of Ephesus, but his art was chiefly exercised at Athens, where he was presented with the right of citizenship. His date cannot be accurately ascertained, but he was probably rather younger than his contemporary, Zeuxis, and it is certain that he enjoyed a high reputation before the death of Socrates. The style and degree of excellence attained by Parrhasius appear to have been much the same as those of Zeuxis. He was particularly celebrated for the accuracy of his drawing, and the excellent proportions of his figures. For these he established a canon, as Phidias had done in sculpture for gods, and Polyclētus for the human figure; whence Quintilian calls him the legislator of his art. His vanity seems to have been as remarkable as that of Zeuxis. Among the most celebrated of his works was a portrait of the personified Athenian Demos, which is said to have miraculously expressed even the most contradictory qualities of that many-headed personage.

Whilst halting near some well-supplied villages, the Greeks were overtaken by two deep falls of snow, which almost buried them in their open bivouacs. Hence a five days' march brought them to the eastern branch of the Euphrates. Crossing the river, they proceeded on the other side of it over plains covered with a deep snow, and in the face of a biting north wind. Here many of the slaves and beasts of burthen, and even a few of the soldiers, fell victims to the cold. Some had their feet frost-bitten; some were blinded by the snow; whilst others, exhausted with cold and hunger, sunk down and died. The army next arrived at some singular villages, consisting of dwellings excavated in the earth, and entered by means of a ladder through an opening like a well. these villages were plentifully stocked with cattle, corn, vegetables, and beer, they here took up their quarters for a week, in order to refresh themselves. On the morning after their arrival, they despatched a detachment which brought in most of the soldiers left behind during the march. On the eighth day they proceeded on their way, ascending the banks of the Phasis, not the celebrated river of that name, but probably the one usually called Araxes.

Logics.

MILL AND BACON.

DR. STUBBS.

1. Illustrate the methods of Agreement, Difference, and Concomitant Variations by the case of the Leyden Jar.

2. What example does Mill give of the subsumption of one law into another, or of several laws into a more general law, which includes them all?

3. What two cautions must be observed in applying the method of Concomitant Variations to cases in which the variations are those of quantity ?

4. To which of the Inductive methods is the knowledge of the expansion of bodies, by the increase of absolute heat, due; and why do the others fail in this case?

5. To what original Fetichism does Mill reduce the theory that the Will is the only cause of phenomena? Under what Idol does Bacon class this natural tendency?

6. Give some of Bacon's examples of the three kinds of "Translatio Experimenti."

7. What are his three examples of "Idola Tribus"?

MR. PANTON.

8. Draw the legitimate conclusions from the following pairs of pre

mises :

Some M is P,

Some S is all M.

Half the As are Bs,
Two-thirds of the As are Cs.

9. Admitting into syllogisms the two affirmative propositions All X is all Y, and Some X is all Y, in which the predicate is universal, what modifications must be made in the general rules?

Determine the number of legitimate modes in the first figure when these two propositions are included.

10. Illustrate the nature of geometrical reasoning, as understood by Mill, by any proposition in Euclid except the fourth and fifth of the 1st Book.

II. Give the substance of Mill's remarks on the import of propositions. 12. Give Mill's criticism of the Categories of Aristotle, and the classification he substitutes in their stead.

13. Give some account of the controversy between Whewell and Mill as to the nature of geometrical axioms.

LOCKE AND ARISTOTELIAN LOGIC.

DR. SHAW.

1. Locke's Essay, as we have it, differs in both form and contents from the programme laid down by the author, in the Introduction. Show this.

2. In Locke's definition of Reflection (a) what is the antecedent of the words, "by reason whereof"? (3) Is the "notice" he speaks of simultaneous with the operations noticed, or is it a subsequent act of memory? (y) Is it voluntary or involuntary ?

3. Classify the following ideas, on the system of Locke:-1. Emerald green. 2. The sea. 3. Elasticity. 4. Resentment (of which there are two kinds, viz. instinctive and rational). 5. Beauty. 6. A Vacuum. 7. Tenant-right. 8. An argument, spoken or written. 9. Rowing. 10. Infinite space. II. The infinity of space.

4. In his chapter on Power, and again in his chapter on Cause and Effect, Locke evades, or does not perceive, the real question at issue on both occasions?

5. From what premisses does Locke deduce, that "having the nominal essence of a thing" is the same as "being conformable to the abstract idea" of the thing? and what are the collateral considerations by which he confirms this reasoning?

6. Speaking of the first kind of Abuse of words, Locke says, "I shall not need here to heap up instances; every man's reading and conversation will sufficiently furnish him." Give some instances of the Abuse in question, and also of the more flagrant form of it which he next proceeds to notice.

7. State and prove the alterations of character which result in the terms of a syllogism when the conclusion is substituted for a premiss; and show that by the substitution the figure is necessarily changed.

8. Show that if the contradictory of a premiss be substituted for it, the new conclusion cannot contradict the former one.

9. In reduction ad impossibile show that in order for the reduct to be in the first figure, the retained premiss must have held its terms in the order opposite to that required by the first figure.

10. Discuss the validity of the following argument :

If the majority of those who use public houses are prepared to close them, legislation is unnecessary; but if they are not prepared for such a measure, then to force it on them is highly objectionable. In no case therefore ought we to legislate in the sense of the Permissive Bill Association.
