“The chief defect of the book lies in its paucity of references. The author has brought out a good deal of new and interesting matter for which he has given no authority whatever.”

“The book shows evidence of pretty thorough research; but it ought not to be necessary at this late day, to remind the investigator that the historian—and this volume will appeal to the historian rather than to the general reader—demands foot-note references to sources and authorities. Such references are too sparingly given. In some cases they are lacking where they are particularly desirable.” David Y. Thomas.

The following embodies the purpose of the book: “To point out what the world philosophy is made to cover in the higher branches of learning; to explain the nature of reflective or philosophical thinking and to show how it differs from common thought and from science; to give a general view of the main problems with which philosophers have dealt; to give an account of some of the more important types of philosophical doctrine which have arisen out of the consideration of such problems; to indicate the relation of philosophy to ‘science and to the other sciences;’ and to show that the study of philosophy, is of value to us all, and to give some practical admonitions on spirit and method.”
