TOKYO Maruzen-Kabushiki-Kaisha All rights reserved S PREFACE OME of these essays have already appeared-in The Quest, The London Mercury, The British Review, The London Quarterly Review-and I desire here to make the usual acknowledgments. About half of them are now printed for the first time. The title is deliberately chosen: for many of my opinions I do not expect acceptance, but it will be enough if they provoke thought and stimulate discussion. I should like to tender special thanks to the officials of the Cambridge University Press for the minute care they have expended on a work which offers many chances of error in detail. E. E. K.
