PHILOSOPHY 6 (Advanced Political Economy), which appears on the scheme of electives for next year, is a new course, and offers a second year of study on this subject for those who pass in either of the two courses which have been given this year. We understand that the basis of the course will be Cairnes's Principles of Political Economy, involving re-examination and application of the leading doctrines discussed by Mill. Carey's system is to be studied, in order to present the subject as it is seen from the extreme protectionist point of view; and the subject of currency is to be examined, probably taking McLeod on Banking as the text-book. Blanqui's History is likely to be used, we believe, for collateral reading rather than as a text-book.

This does not look as though the new course would be quite so soft as a bed of roses, but it presents an entirely new opportunity, and one not offered, we believe, anywhere else in this country, for those who wish to study carefully one of the most important subjects in the range of college work.
