True only to the sentiment “upon which thread this rosary of love letters has been strung” the author has rendered the letters of Abelard and Heloise in rhyme.
“A sympathetic setting forth in English verse, of the letters of these historic lovers.”

Abbot, Francis Ellingwood. Syllogistic philosophy or prolegomena to science. 2v. **$5. Little.
6–29755.
A posthumous work that represents a life time of study. “The determining principle of the whole structure is that ‘whatever is evolved as consequent must be involved as antecedent.’ The outcome of this ‘principle of absolute logic’ is that personality, in the philosophic sense of the word, is ‘both the source and outcome of all that is,’ and that philosophy at last becomes ‘theology modernized as scientific realism and scientific theism.’” (Outlook.)
“We confess that we have found in his work little to clarify the problems of philosophy and nothing besides the author’s own earnestness and enthusiasm which we can call uplifting. In no way does the book appear to us to be a prolegomena to science or an important contribution to philosophy.”
