A most original, acute, w~ell-expressed,

gulshed not more by originality than by
%earnestness and eloquence. It is calculat-
ed to meet In a certain measure the mental
requirements Of an important class Of read
ers, namely those whom various modern
writers have stimulated into a sense of the
mysteriousness Of Life, and into a desire
of some sort Of solution of its multitudin-
u problems. The writer is at once a
sincere believer and a bold and profound
thinker.
