Book Description
Excerpt from Foreign Quarterly Review, Vol. 2 Twenty-five years have nearly elapsed since the question which we are now going to examine was first laid bef01e the Bri tish public. Since that period, it has occasionally been brought into notice, or fallen into neglect, as the continental publi cations have made thei1 way to this island, or as the teachers of the system have thought fit to address themselves directly to Englishmen. The manner in which it was then received was not such as to authorize a belief that it eve1 could be treated but with contempt. Within a few yeais, however, it has attracted so large a share of attention, it has been contemplated with so much earnestness, with so much. Gravity - that we deem it a duty to allot some pages to its serious consideration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
