Even in the busy United States private
scholars are TO be found who devote
their lives to some out-of-the-way branch
OF human knowledge, unaided by the en-
couragements Of university life or learned
societies. Mr.. Maurice Fiuegel Of Balti-
more has spent many years in the less
trodden paths Of philosophy. The result
OF his investigations he publishes in @Phi-
losophy, Qabbala and Vedanta" CH. Fuegel
a Co., B~altimore). His effort is TO show
the common origin and points of contact Of
the philosophy OF western Europe. that OF
| the Hindus and the medieval Qabbala.
The Qabbala. Mr.. Fluegel tells us. lis a phi
losophy. an eclectic system to explain all
to systematic existence, to say what is,
h Is it's cause, its essence and its objects
II is not, as is popularity believed, an ex-
clusively Jewish philosophy or a specially
Judaic mode OF explaining the universe.
II was settled among the Jews. it is true,
n they preserved the traditions, but that
was because -the Jews in the middle ages,
the industrial and commercial agents of the
world, were also its intellectual and ethical
brokers; they were the middlemen between
the east and the west. between Christian and
Moslem. the Occident and the Orient; they
were the best situated to bring about that
amalgamation and uniication Of philosophi-
cal doctrines" Mr.. Fluegel develops his
thesis lucidly in his book, calling in and com
pairing all philosophy from the creation to
Schopenhauer. In spite of his vast erudi-
ton he succeeds in being interesting.
Two more volumes Of Theophile Gautier's
works. translated by Prof. de Sumichrast,
Vols. 10 and II George ID. SprouD, are
before us. They deal with an innocuous
subject, Travels In Russia with a short
"Trip to Belgium and Holland" and a
Day in London" to I'll out. Russian and
other foreign proper names have acquired
recognized forms in English since Gautier's
time. but little eccentricities in spelling
such names will not disturb those who
have put up through fourteen volumes
with the professors slipshod English style.
We shall be interested TO see what he makes
Of lie Capitaine Fracasse' and Les Jeune
France We canno imagine that even
Prof. de Sumichrast's ~audacity will venture
a translation" Of Oautier's poetry.
