Abstract
THE amateur is a little out of fashion just now ; nevertheless, he is by definition a lover, and therefore presumably entitled to occupy a niche in the ever-growing edifice of philosophy. These three books differ both in the subject-matter which they present and in the method of presenting it. But it is legitimate to group them together because they all profess to be readable guides to great matters, for the benefit of the non-expert.
