"As a whole the little book marks one of the summit points of recent scientific religious literature. Max Mueller's penetrating insight into the broad facts of Hindu intellectual history is coupled in this instance with all the just criticism needed for a true valuation of Ramakrishna's personality and teaching."--_American Historical Review._ Science of Thought _Two Volumes._ Crown 8vo, $4.00. "Of the portion of the work in which the author exemplifies and illustrates his theory--his analysis of the Sanskrit roots, his chapters on Kant's philosophy, on the formation of words, on propositions and syllogisms--it is only necessary to say that while they contain, along with much that will reward a careful study, not a little that will arouse controversy, they have, like all the author's former productions, the prime merit of being free from the two greatest of literary faults--obscurity and dulness. A work in which two of the driest and hardest of studies, analytic philology and mental philosophy, are made at once lucid and attractive, is an acquisition for which all students of those mysteries have reason to be grateful."--New York _Evening Post_. *
