Abstract
THERE is a tendency among critics to condemn a book for not comprising what it was not intended to contain. Such critics have a preconceived notion of what a writer should have included in his treatise; they glance through the pages in a superficial manner for what they think should be there, and not finding such topics expressed to their mind immediately condemn the treatise.
