Abstract
IT is something of an achievement to have written a book, even a small one, about the Renaissance without a mention of Walter Pater. But then he was a gentle creature, whereas Dr. von Martin is a little aggressive. Nevertheless, there is much of interest here for the man of science, psychologist and historian, not least because, as the author indicates, the phenomena he describes are of significance far beyond the particular period under review.
