Description:Excerpt from Reflections Historical and Critical on the Revival of Philosophy at Cambridge In the last century a decent modicum of Philosophy, principally drawn from three sterling English writers, Locke, Butler, and Clarke, was required of candidates for academical honours at Cambridge.

Two plain courses of reform were open to the University authorities, i.e. the Senate, and its Caput: to revive the comatose reality, or simply to abolish the deadly-lively semblance. They elected the latter alternative. Philosophy, even in the last stage of collapse, and abandoned to the tender mercies of physicians, who were both ignorant and unfriendly, and who, like Timon's associates, throve and gave her over, seemed disposed to contest the Academical grace, and, if die she must, to die hard.
