This book contains the James Frederick Ferrier edition of Haldane Elizabeth Sanderson’s "Famous Scots" series. James Frederick Ferrier (1808 - 1864) was a Scottish metaphysical writer famous for introducing the term 'epistemology'. This detailed and fascinating biography will be of considerable utility to those with an interest in Ferrier’s life and work, and would make for a great addition to collections of antiquarian literature of this ilk. The chapters of this book include: “Early Life”, “Social Life in Scotland – Beginning of his Literary Work”, “Philosophy before Ferrier’s Day”, “Development of the Scottish Philosophy, the Old and the New – Ferrier as a Correspondent”, etcetera. Elizabeth Sanderson Haldane (1862 - 1937) was an author, philosopher, suffragist, and biographer. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
