Abstract
MR. BERNARD BOSANQUET, who died on February 8, after a short illness at his home at Hampstead, to which he had moved a few months ago, has occupied for more than a generation a foremost place in English intellectual life. For the last ten years his health has required him to refuse public engagements, but he continued to be as assiduous in literary productions as during any period of his active life. He was at work till the end, and we are told that he left an uncompleted book on his desk, of which, however, three chapters are finished. The intended title was “What is Mind? “He was an ardent philosopher, who cared little for the brilliance of a speculation and nothing whatever for originality or ownership of ideas, but sought the truth concerning human life and the meaning of experience with an earnestness which seemed like the devotion of a religious mission.
