Abstract

(1) THE writer condemns himself by his own pretensions. He calls his system a “new philosophy,” and is writing another book—“The Truth about the Other World”—which “will be the first genuine Revelation ever published.” In the volume under notice he discusses all things in heaven and earth, from the solar spectrum, heredity, and space, to Platonism, hallucinations, and Vedanta. There is evidence of a great deal of heterogeneous and elementary knowledge, but all is confused and superficial. Apparently the author finds salvation in the word Monad—though he does not expound Leibniz—but his explanations do not explain much. He posits a “nerve-ether” which is quite different from the luminiferous æther, which latter is “no use” to him; and he seems to have a very poor opinion of the Royal Society. No doubt the society will survive.
