Dictionary of Philosophy and Psychology. Edited by J. M. Baldwin.
Vol. I. (Macmillan and Co. 21s. net.)—This is the beginning of a considerable enterprise. Professor Baldwin, who holds a chair in Princeton University, has associated with himself a very competent company of workers,—American, English, and Continental. The Continental help is limited, we see, to the province of "consulting" editorship; all the contributors come ' from the United Kingdom or the States. The subjects dealt with are thus classified,—" Philosophy," " Logic," " Ethics," " Psychol- ogy," "Philology," "Physical Science and Mathematics," "Mental Pathology and Anthropology," " Biology," " Economics," " Politi cal and Social Philosophy," " Law," " Philosophy of Religion," "Education," "lEsthetics," "Neurology and Physiology," "Bibli- ography." It may safely be remarked that the scheme (to be completed in two more volumes) does not want for comprehen siveness. Very few thinkers and workers stand outside the circle thus defined, and the actual compass of the articles and subjects is large enough to cover the widest significance of the title. We may return to the subject; meanwhile we would point out that some little more care is wanted in the revision for the press. We would mention Andronicus Rhodius (not Rhodus), Anaximenes (not Anaximines) ; nerros means "a hollow," not "hollow."
