Abstract
NEWS reaches us from America of the death on October 8, after a long illness, of Prof. James Edwin Creighton, Sage professor of logic and metaphysic in Cornell University since 1895. The United States lose in him one of their most influential and deeply respected teachers. It is only a short time ago that Prof. Creighton's old pupils published a volume of essays in his honour. He was better known as a tutor and lecturer than as an author, though his “Intro-ductory Logic “is widely used by students in Great Britain as well as in the United States. He was engaged on an important work, “The Rise of the Historical Method in Philosophy,” when illness compelled him to set it aside. Outside his own university, he was widely known as editor of the Philosophical Review, one of the leading American journals devoted to philosophy, and representative of the idealist theories, also as American editor of “Kant-Studien.”
