(Willing Souls, cap. xxi. [139]p. 597.)

On the subject of free-will, so profusely illustrated by Clement, I have foreborne to add any comments. But Segaar's Excursus (iv. p. 410) is worthy of being consulted. On Clement's ideas of Hades and the intermediate state, I have made no comment; but Segaar's endeavour to state judicially the view of our author (Excursus, x. p. 421), though in some particulars it seems to me unsatisfactory, is also worthy of examination.

If a number of other important points have been apparently overlooked in my Elucidations, it is because I fear I have already gone beyond the conditions and limitations of my work.
