“Useful as his book may prove to an advanced logician, it is almost the worst possible for a beginner’s introduction to the subject.”

“It is an excellent and very sound exposition of the traditional logic for which Oxford has been famous ever since the days of Chaucer’s Clerk. But if the matter is traditional, the manner of exposition is as fresh and independent as it could well be, and the author has entirely fulfilled the desire expressed in his preface not to teach anything to beginners which they should afterwards have merely to unlearn.”

Josephus, Flavius. Works; tr. by William Whiston, and edited by D. S. Margoliouth. $2. Dutton.
“The complete works of the learned and spirited writer, Flavius Josephus, compressed in one royal octavo volume.... The editor’s work ... includes an introductory essay, and a few notes, and a careful collation of the text with the critical edition of the original Greek of Niese and Von Destinon, and its division into sections after the plan of the learned German editors. Recent research has been intelligently summarized. All of Josephus is here, including, of course, the few disputed passages.”—N. Y. Times.
“The editor’s Introduction is decidedly piquant. He seems to treat his author in exactly the right vein, now genially discounting his marvelous exploits, now politely doubting his veracity while enjoying his romance.”
+ Ath. 1906, 1: 666. Je. 2. 630w.
“The introduction is, of course, admirably written, and weighted with references to the learned literature of the subject; still more loaded with erudition are the notes.”
