A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Even the mere outline, which alone is pos sible in the narrowly prescribed space, might be made fairly complete if technical terminology, abbreviation, and the presuppositions admissible among experts were allowable. But to be easy and readable in a tenth of the space required and, at the same time, convey a true impression, is difficult. One must watch and pray not to tell half-truths. Nor can one, even so, be content merely to revamp for a different circle what is familiar to scholars in the great treatises. I have not been deterred from presenting views which are peculiar to myself when these seemed best to set forth the results toward which critical science is tending, by the consciousness that adequate presentation of my reasons is precluded. Scholars will recognise what is new. If valuable, they will adopt it; if disapproved, they will bring it into the arena of debate, where opportunity will be given for completer discussion. In the writings which name their authors, independent study has led me to results more conservative than those of leading critics.
