We could easily full spece with praises, but our purpose today it criticism and censure. This we hope the team will take in good part.

"If any study is liberal and literalizing," he writes, "it is the modern study of history. Philology and polite literature arrogate the title of the humanities;' but what study can so justly claim that honorable title as the study which deals with the actual experience on this earth of social and progressive...
