Abstract
“THEY say the owl was a baker's daughter. Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be.” A certain incoherence in Ophelia's words would have prevented us at one time from regarding her as a possible authority on the metaphysical questions raised by the title to this book, but she is soundness, suggestiveness, and lucidity themselves when compared with Mr. Joseph.
