Please see photos. Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Catholic theologian. Our copy of his musings was once owned by John Veitch, Scottish poet, philosopher, historian & son of a Peninsular War veteran. Veitch was assistant lecturer successively to Sir William Hamilton and Alexander Campbell Fraser (1856-1860). Alexander Campbell Fraser was a Scottish theologian, professor and fellow of Royal Society of Edinburgh. He was presented to Queen Victoria during her diamond jubilee(1897) tour of Scotland. In 1860 Veitch was appointed to the chair of logic, metaphysics and rhetoric at the Univeristy of St. Andrews. In philosophy an intuitionist, he dismissed the idealist arguments with some abruptness, and thereby lost much of the influence gained by the force of his personal character. COLH1845AGJA.…
