His face is thin and chiseled with deep

tempt. The vigor, and subtlety, and
force of his published lectures and es-
says, which abound in trenchent criti-
cisms and defiant challenges TO popular
beliefs, give the impression OF an ath-
letic and powerful personality, and
make the appearance of the rather
slight, pale-faeed neutrality-suspicious.
somewhat disappointing.
