Abstract
“COMPARATIVE PHILOSOPHY,” by M. Masson-Oursel, gives the impression of a compilation. There is an introduction by Dr. Crookshank, a notice that Part II. has been translated by V. C. C. Collum, and a dedication to M. Lévy-Bruhl, whether by author or translator or editor does not appear. The book itself deals largely in generalities and is interspersed by a long table of comparative chronology and various bibliographies. There is nothing peculiarly original or even striking in the actual matter of the book, and now and then we come on fairly long quotations from the Greek which are left untranslated, although the book is scarcely designed to appeal only to scholars.
Comparative Philosophy.
