IT has been tritely remarked that "There is nothing new under the sun." In view of this sapient aphorism the reader will not expect to find much that is strange or remarkable in the present volume. Books, however, are something like kaleidoscopes, in which ideas, like the bits of colored glass, resolve themselves into innumerable stellate forms, presenting to the inspector picture after picture, each of seemingly different origin from the preceding ones.
