Abstract
THERE exists a certain class of mind, allied perhaps to the ancient Greek Sophist variety, to which ignorance of a subject offers no sufficient obstacle to the composition of a treatise upon it. It may be rash to suggest that this type of mind is well developed in philosophers of the Spencerian school, though it would be possible to adduce some evidence in support of such a suggestion.
