Scholarly Commentary

Introduction

The review is by WMR, who contributed three more to The Germ, one in each number.

This has been generally regarded as one of the most percipient of the early reviews of Arnold's work, as it is certainly the shrewdest of the reviews of this book.

Printing History

First printed in The Germ no. 2, pages 84-96.
