 254 CRITICAL NOTICES. Such is the gist of these Studies in the Cartesian Philosophy. Though essentially a student's book, closely reasoned and in fresh contact with the original sources, it is full of suggestion even to the mere reader. Mr. Norman Smith has the insight and expres- sive force of an original thinker and to the many who love to see old problems freshly handled the book cannot be too cordially recommended. They will find these studies striking to the point of vividness and eminently suggestive. W. R. BOYCE GIBSON.
