This volume is OF less risky character than the pre-
viOus efforts OF the writer Its tone is healthy more
natural and of course agreeable II Is devoted to
lofty and difficult theme-the perfection of earth
and in the future world This is discussed in genial
hopeful humane spirit Though in the form of dialogue,
the book is succession Of monolegues II has less the
character Of work Of art than of the thinking aloud of
solitary Like the other writings Of the author it impressss
you as the record Of private personal fnce rather than
the expression Of universal truth Hence the singular
mixture of bold speculation and e common paces-the
sudden transitions from vigorous discussion angud and
prosae details-oyer which the patient reader is frequently
made to stumble. The author certainly possesses con-
emplatiye turn Of mind and certain sense of the ludi
crCus combined with active Imagination and AZ times
remarkable fueucy Of expression. But these qualities
are often neursizsd by Alterations puerles parsdoxes
snd absurdes which poureddOwn like avalanche on
bis unhappy victims. The volume in hand does not
offend go often in this way its predecessors but at the
sans time becomes grave formal and oracular a. to
atally damage its popular interest
