title Of this volume. He has. however,
done better. in that he has laid down the
broadest of foundations upon which all
humanity may safely stand. setting forth

unassailable propositions, and driving
his truths home by iteration and renewal
until there is no possibility of misunder-
standing or evasion. 1t would be. indeed,
possible for him to state his precept
much less expansively-though the book
is larger in bulk than in text. inasmuch

heart and they were on the broad high
way to matrimony. Considering all the
circumstances, this was quite an achieve

one had fallen under the spell of his COM

was magic in the air around Abou Has
