Abstract

(1) GOETHE'S work was so many-sided, and withal so voluminous, that it is a real service to educated thought to have presented, as here, a volume of extracts, in moderate compass, containing in his own words an account of the great writer's philosophic and scientific views, and of the influences exerted on him by different systems. Herder, Spinoza and Kant all obviously attracted him at various times, and his name must find a place in any account of the theory of colour or of comparative anatomy—to name only two of the scientific subjects in which he was interested. With these and kindred matters the editor deals in a well-informed introduction. He knows the literature well, his Eckermann, the Goethe Jahrbuch, and Goethe's poetry. Goethe's title to be regarded as a forerunner of Darwin is duly emphasised.
