This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

He was born in Aberdeen on the 22nd of May 1809.
William was educated in the city's grammar school and at Marischal College.
Moving to Edinburgh in 1830, he read law and was called to the bar in 1833. In that year he published a Letter on Shakespeare's Authorship of the Two Noble Kinsmen (reprinted for the New Shakspere Society in 1876, seventeen years after his death), which attracted the notice of leading literary critic Francis Jeffrey, who invited Spalding to contribute to the Edinburgh Review.
He also spent time in Italy and published, in 1841, Italy and the Italian Islands from the Earliest Ages to the Present Time. At the start of his career as educator, he occupied the chair of rhetoric and belles lettres at the University of Edinburgh from 1840 to 1845, when he was appointed professor of logic, rhetoric and metaphysics at the University of St Andrews, and remained in the post until his death.
For the last twenty years of his life he served as professor of rhetoric and logic, in addition to authoring essays, reviews and historical texts.
