ROYCE, JOSIAH. Lectures on modern idealism. *$3 Yale univ. press 141
20–7505
“The ground covered by the book is largely the same as the substance of Royce’s ‘Spirit of modern philosophy,’ but the treatment is wholly different, being as professedly technical as the earlier book was not. And, whether wisely or unwisely, the author has avoided repeating what is contained in the ordinary histories of philosophy by emphasizing the neglected aspects of the thinkers whose systems he expounds.”—Springf’d Republican
“Interesting as a pre-war study of German philosophy.”

“Throughout, Royce’s accurate scholarship and gift of sympathetic interpretation are at their best, but nowhere more so than in the three lectures on Hegel’s ‘Phaenomenology of spirit.’” R. F. A. H.
