Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern Men of Letters Honestly Criticised The ordinary mode of criticising the results of a scholar´s hard and long-continued work is, as we are well aware, to test it here and there by means of the index, and to show off the critic´s second-hand learning at the expense of the literary subject which he is dissecting, pointing out a weak point here and an unsound spot there; but such a mode of treatment would be entirely beside the mark in the present case." The above sentence from a review in the Athenæum of May 21st, will be a sufficient explanation of, and excuse for, the words on the title-page, "honestly criticised." The italics are not those of the journal, but added here to mark the openness of confession, and, at the same time, the curious reservation in favour of Mr. Cox´s work on the "Myths of the Aryan Nations," as if in any case so perfunctory and essentially dishonest a method could be excused.
