II. The Representative Significance of Form. 8°, cloth extra. $2.00 "A valuable essay. .. Professor Raymond goes so deep into causes as to explore the subconscious and the unconscious mind for a solution of his problems, and eloquently to range through the conceptions of religion, science and metaphysics in order to find fixed principles of taste... A highly interesting discussion."-The Scotsman (Edinburgh). "Evidently the ripe fruit of years of patient and exhaustive study on the part of a man singularly fitted for his task. It is profound in insight, searching in analysis, broad in spirit, and thoroughly modern in method and sympathy. -The Universalist Leader. Its title gives no intimation to the general reader of its attractiveness for him, or to curious readers of its widely discursive range of interest. Its broad range may remind one of those scythe-bearing chariots with which the ancient Persians used to mow down hostile files."-The Outlook.
