They will find their recompense in the knowledge they will acquire of Professor Ferrier steaching if it destroys their interest in mine. You will perceive that in other respects there is very little in common between these rough Lectures and the books, so conspicuous for rich and various culture, which you have edited. I have had no notion of producing a Philosophy of Consciousness. My aim has been to associate the Conscience with the acts and thoughts of our ordinary existence. I have abstained, some will think even pedantically, from the use of philosophical terms: I have only touched on philosophical systems when I fancied they were interfering with the rights and duties of every wayfarer. If I can lead a few young men in what I must still call your University, to think more earnestly, to live more bravely, I trust that the many obvious deficiencies of my book will not hinder you from oiyning me as a fellow-worker. Believe me, My dear Lushington, Very sincerely yours, F. D. MAURICE.
