Evidence: | 'The study of Metaphysics and Mental Philosophy in general had always been one of the
favourite pursuits of George Grote. In the winter of 1829, a small group of students in this
branch of knowledge resumed the habit begun two years previous, of meeting at George
Grote's house on two mornings of the week, at half past eight A.M.
'They read Mr. Mill's last work, "Analysis of the Phenomena of the Human Mind," Hartley on
Man, Dutrieux's Logic, Whately's works, &c., discussing as they proceeded.. Mr. John Stuart
Mill, Mr. Charles Buller, Mr. Eyton Tooke [...] Mr. John Arthur Roebuck, Mr. G. J. Graham, Mr.
Grant, and Mr. W. G. Prescott formed part of this class. Mr. George Grote was always present
at their meetings, which lasted an hour, or an hour and a half, as time served.'
