It would be a mere impertinence on my part, at any rate in this place, to attempt any criticism of Dr. Brandes scriticism of Henrik I bsen. All I have any desire or right to do is to emphasise what Dr. Brandes himself says in his preface as to the peculiar, perhaps unique, circumstances under which this book has come into existence. I can remember no other instance in which a great critic, having followed the work of a great poet from, practically, the outset of the poets career, has made, so to speak, a journal of his impressions, and republished them at last, with no correction or modification of any moment, simply in the chronological order of their original appearance. This is what Dr. Brandes has done. His book is thus not a focussed appreciation of the whole of Ibsen by the whole of Brandes, if I may so express it, but rather a contemporaneously-noted record of the ever-developing relation, throughout more than thirty years, of these two remarkable minds. It might have for its title, not, perhaps, Ibsen Day by Day, but certainly Ibsen Phase by Phase; and this, of course, implies Brandes Phase by Phase as well. Here lies the special interest and peculiar value of the book. If the reader wishes to see Dr. Brandes sjudgments in their true perspective, it is essential that he should place himself, in relation to each of the three essays, at the writers standpoint in time. To assist him in doing so, I shall briefly summarise Henrik Ibsen sliterary position at the three dates in question.

<p>As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)</p>
