Hyslop, James Hervey. Ethics of Greek philosophers, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. $2. Higgins.
An essay first given as a lecture before the Brooklyn ethical association (1896-7). It treats of the teachings and influence of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and is illustrated with their portraits. Copious editorial notes by Mr. Higgins and extracts from the works of the philosophers show their close relation to modern thought. The volume concludes with a brief life of Socrates.

“The conspicuous absence of historic insight, of breadth and impartiality of view, of even an approach to scholarly discrimination, forms strange qualifications for the editing of a volume bearing the ambitious title, ‘The evolution of ethics.’”
