Coldwell of London bookseller's ticket to FPEP. Paper evenly toned as expected; uncommonly clean and fresh with sharp edges and tight binding; DJ spine toned, tips a bit rubbed, price intact. 'This is a remarkable book and ought to place Mr. Watkin's reputation high among philosophical writers, for it is of wide range and original power. His book gives a synoptic view of life, properly philosophical as well as Christian; what he says is always his own. It is abreast of modern thought and swears by no master, modern, ancient or mediæval; it is his originality, joined to lofty writing, which makes his book such a distinctive contribution to our philosophical literature.' M. C. D'ARCY, S.J.
