    are no wild rhetorical flights in his book , no paeans of ill-balanced praise . It is the work of a critic and expositor well equipped for his

    task , and with eyes wide open , though choosing to adopt Goethe's way of dwelling on merits rather than on defects . Chapter and

    verse are given for every statement , so that there is no vague wandering . Every sentence ,
