B. That this coincides with the view of human nature opened to

us by the Christian dispensation.

y. That, from Butler's view, serious difficulties arise concerning a future state, and how these difficulties are obviated?

2. State Butler's various objections to the sufficiency of the light of nature; and expand and illustrate each of them.

3. We are precluded from objecting to any portion of Christ's mediatorial office on account of its seeming inadequacy to the end proposed; state fully how Butler shows this.

4. What definite form does the question of the evidence of Christianity necessarily take. Hence what objections only can be alleged against it? and how does Butler refute them?

5. Give an analysis of Butler's views respecting our incapacity of judging beforehand of what should have been expected in Scripture.

BUTLER'S SERMONS.

MR. POOLE.

1. Butler shows that the whole of virtue cannot be resolved into benevolence. State his arguments.

2. His analysis of compassion seems to include somewhat faulty-and how does he show that this is not really the case?

3. Point out why resentment is more restricted as to its gratification than any other particular affection.

4. State generally Butler's line of argument in order to prove that God is not, in the proper sense, the author of either moral or physical evil in the case of man.

5. How does Butler show that self-love does not wholly deceive men as to their conduct ?—and state his illustrations of the conduct of those influenced by it.

6. To what does Butler attribute the persuasion that there is some peculiar opposition between benevolence and self-love? He points out the errors involved in this; and urges the claims of benevolence on the ground of self-love?

7. Does he consider our knowledge to be limited only by our natural capacities? and what account does he give of our position in this respect? 8. Butler intimates by a distinction between the parts composing the constitution of nature where we may expect to meet apparent defects, and shows that we have reason to believe them to be only apparent?

MILL.

MR. POOLE.

1. Dr. Whewell objects to Mr. Mill's view that his principle of the correctness of the different conceptions used in colligation of facts is not true of the explanation of facts. How does he argue?-and state Mr. Mill's reply to him, and the instances used as examples.

2. Mr. Mill disputes the view entertained by some as to what efficient causes really are. State his argument, and his account of the origin of the error.

3. Compare Malebranche's and Leibnitz' views as regards the constitution of the world, with the opinion opposed by Mr. Mill, alluded to in the last question.

4. Discuss the law of induced electricity as an example of three of the Inductive Methods.
