Maudsley, H: Body and will; essay concerning will in its metaphysical and pathological aspects. "This is a very dismal book, and it lands those who may choose to follow its leading in dismal results. In identifying the highest with the lowest, and making the latter the measure of the former, he not only identifies will with molecular action, and blots out the life, love, and beauty of the universe, but he is faithless to evolution, which has taught us that the vast drama of universal being, as showing majestic progress and development, is in some mysterious way directed and governed by thought and reason. He takes his stand upon the outward, and essays to explain the inward by means of it. But he wholly fails to show any ground in right or reason, in logic or feeling, why the external should be regarded as the first in order of time or existence. Happily human nature revolts aganst this doctrine of dirt and despair the explanation of life, the world and man by postulating myriads of moving molecules sweltering in chaos at one time to pass into cosmos at another, only because they must go through all phases of possible being."
