""Right In The Abstract: One Of The Course Of Friends������� Lyceum Lectures (1862)"" is a book written by William James Allinson. It is a collection of lectures that were delivered at the Friends' Lyceum, a Quaker educational institution, in 1862. The lectures cover a variety of topics related to philosophy, including the nature of truth, the relationship between reason and intuition, and the role of abstract thinking in human understanding. Allinson argues that abstract thinking is essential for understanding complex ideas and for making moral judgments.

The book provides a fascinating insight into the intellectual debates of the mid-19th century and the role of education in shaping the minds of young people.
