Sidgwick, Henry. Miscellaneous essays and addresses. [*]$3.25. Macmillan.
“The many-sided activity of the late professor of moral philosophy at Cambridge is strikingly represented in this collection of essays and addresses. Sixteen in number, they take for theme subjects of an ethical, sociological, economic, educational, and purely literary interest.... An idea of the varied contents of this helpful volume may be conveyed by a few chapter titles: ‘Ecce Homo’ (a criticism of J. R. Seeley’s ’Study of the life of Jesus’), ‘The poems and prose remains of Arthur Henry Clough,’ ‘The scope and method of economic science,’ ‘The economic lessons of socialism,’ ‘The relation of ethics to sociology,’ ‘The theory of classical education.’”—Outlook.

“As an expression of the personality of Henry Sidgwick the collection has interest and value; as an embodiment of the Cambridge spirit it has enduring significance for all who care about tracing intellectual tendencies. The expression throughout is accurate; nothing is said more or less than is intended. The style is lucid, subtle, stimulating, never unpleasant, now and again humorous; never brilliant, persuasive, or charming. Stronger in criticism than construction. Entirely without magnetic quality.”
