Abstract
THESE volumes will be valued by all those who knew or who passed under the influence of the distinguished professor who held the chair of English first at Cardiff, then at Newcastle, and later at Leeds before he died in 1922. The books and articles published by him in his lifetime were all of the nature of students' manuals or were aids to study. Apart from his work in the classroom, he was engaged throughout the active period of his life in writing a “History of Political Philosophy,” and the studies for this, some of which were left in a finished, others in an unfinished, condition, but none of them marked for press, have now been edited and published. The whole is a monumental work of the first importance.
