H/E was born in 1744, and died in 1826.He published a little book for the use of his students,-" First Principles of philosophy, by john Bruce, A.M., Professor of Philosophy in the University of Edinburgh." It reached a second edition in 178 I-- It consists of mere notes or heads.Logic has a wide enough field: -- it is " the comprehensive science which explains the method of discovering and applying the laws of nature." He makes the sources of human knowledge to be sensation, understanding, and consciousness.He has another work, " Elements of the Science of Ethics, on the Principles of Natural Philosophy." He defines the moral faculty as " the power of perceiving the objects which regard the happiness or enjoyments of human nature." If we ask in what the physical law of gravitation consists, the answer is, in the uniformity of the effect in material nature.If we ask in what the moral law consists, the answer is, in the uniformity of the effect "that the observation of rights is the source of enjoyment." Mr.Bruce does not sound the depths of any subject of which he treats.
