ABSTRACT
At 16 I went to Edinburgh University in 1873 and studied under the late Professor Fraser. I obtained the Bruce of Grangehill Medal in Metaphysics, and the Ferguson Scholarship of the four Scottish Universities three years later. I went also to Göttingen and studied under Lotze. I was much influenced by Kant and especially by Hegel; by his method of approach rather than by his system, or by his detailed theory of the absolute.
