This volume documents the inauguration of New College, Edinburgh, in November 1850, an institution founded by the Free Church of Scotland. The book includes introductory lectures on theology, philosophy, and natural science, offering insights into the academic and intellectual landscape of the mid-19th century.

These lectures provide a snapshot of the intellectual currents shaping theological and philosophical discourse at the time, making this volume a valuable resource for scholars interested in the history of education, Scottish religious history, and the development of theological thought.
