Abstract
In the cynicism born of world collapse, George Brandes has lately revived an epigram imputed to Frederick the Great: begin by taking. Then I always find men of science to prove the justice of my claim. There is danger of scholarship becoming thus official in a democracy no less than in an absolutism. Public passion cracks as sharp a whip as any despot, and the applause of the market-place is as grave a menace to independent thought as the favor of the throne.
