..FACTS—AN ANALYSIS MEANT TO SERVE AS AN IN- TRODUCTION TO

EDUCATIONAL THEORY. By W. 0. Brigstocke. (Dent. 3s. 6d.)—" I propose to begin by taking myself for granted. And assuming that I am a parasitic variable, I shall say that at times I have my wits about me'; this state I shall call a Quorum." The Senior Lecturer in Education in the University of Liverpool may assume what he will ; but if he must gyrate like a Catherine wheel, let him sputter his discursive learning in vain. It will not make the reviewer mad, nor will he recommend anybody else to run the danger of mental derangement. After all, it is possible to distinguish genius from eccentricity.
