Abstract
LORD CONWAY'S book reminds one of a philosophical romance such as “Rasselas”, or even “John Ingle-sant”. Much of it is in dialogue, and the scene passes from place to placeSwitzerland, Italy, the Andes, Spitsbergen. The writer has been a pilgrim in the physical as well as in the spiritual sense. This is not a systematic treatise; but readers can go on with interest, and take the ideas as they comethey are always suggestive and often ingenious. Not that it is a casual book, for it has been rewritten four times, the author tells us, and he is working out his point of view all the while.
