&quot;MIND!&quot; 



A UNIQUE REVIEW 



OF 



ANCIENT AND MODERN PHILOSOPHY. 



CHRISTMAS NUMBER 1901. 



&quot;Mind! turns out on examination to be a collection of parodies, 

 some of them exceptionally witty, of the utterances of metaphysicians, 

 living or dead, mingled with happy skits on modern fiction and 

 journalism, and other jests of more or less entertaining quality. 

 Properly to enjoy some of the happiest of the parodies a fair 

 acquaintance with the recent literature of metaphysics is necessary, 

 that on Mr. Bradley s well-known work on Appearance and Reality, 

 for example, headed The Place of Humour in the Absolute, being 

 one of the brightest features in the number, and that on The 

 Essence of Reality being quite as clever. . . . The reviews of 

 books, the obituaries of Sokrates and Empedokles, and other news 

 paper jests at the end, are light and lively, and the very advertise 

 ments are a joke.&quot; Morning Post. 



&quot;Two of the most amusing, as they are the most popular, of 

 the papers are Elizabeth s Visits to Philosophers which were 

 somewhat disillusioning experiences and A Commentary on the 

 Snark. &quot; Glasgow Herald. 



&quot; Probably others besides ourselves have been taken in by the 

 elaborate parody of Mind which has just emanated from Oxford. 

 In exterior it exactly resembles that profound periodical, except 

 for an exclamation mark after the title. It is certainly the most 

 elaborate joke we have ever seen, from the advertisements to the 

 list of books received. Wherever within those covers there is a 

 printed word, there is a joke.&quot; Cambridge Review. 



&quot; A medley of parody, pure chaff, and other agreeable nonsense 

 in prose and verse, emanating from Oxford, and more particularly 

 from Corpus. . . . The Place of Humour in the Absolute, The 

 Ladies Aristotle, and A Commentary on the Snark to take 

 three pieces at random are all excellent fooling, and there is plenty 

 besides.&quot; Guardian. 



&quot; This philosophic uniquity.&quot; Pelican Record. 

 &quot;Our esteemed contemporary Mind!&quot; Mind.
