such writers as Stepniak, Prince Krapotkine, etc.
It is hardly possible after reading his pages, to doubt
that many of the dramatic stories with which we have
been overwhelmed of late are as imaginary as Edgar Poe's
tales. Dr. Lansdell's route was an interesting one,
and parts of it he was the first Englishman to traverse."

an essay.

"A very suggestive and thoughtful book of the order of works which may be called reflective: that is, without pretending to be a formal philosophy it approaches with philosophic temper and method theories and ideas and projects current in politics. Mr. Montague writes a very clear-cut and forcible style, rich in concrete illustration, and often eloquent. The book needs to be read more slowly than most people like, but not more than it deserves. The doctrine of liberty as stated by Mill is still almost an article of faith. There is as yet no popular theory to take its place, and Mr. Montague's book may help to supply the want."-- - S.

Herein he is really penetrated by the scientific spirit in its best aspect, and he has been no insufficient teacher of the higher anthropology.
