 conspicuous success. His exposition is as clear and simple as 

 the nature of the subject permits, and his language is felici- 

 tous." Times.

 produce a work which can make a direct appeal to the educated 

 public by its lucid style and the unmistakable grasp of an original 

 investigator." Standard.

 educated men who find a difficulty in keeping up with advances 

 along lines in which they are anxious to maintain an intellectual 

 interest," Westminster Gazette.
