Abstract
THE late C. P. Scott and H. W. Nevinson were once exchanging stories which had never been printed ; Nevinson complained ruefully that when he was sent to report the ‘Black and Tans' in Ireland, he was shot at by both sides. Prof. Linton takes a greater risk ; in his brave attempt to cross-fertilize several different studies, he may be attacked from three sides. Obviously he cannot be ignored.
