The Golden Verses of Pythagoras — with commentary (1917)
The text is shown on its own: no facing layer is held for this issue.
M. d'Olivet according to his admirable method establishes the position of the principles in ontology and anthropology. He presents a metaphysical anatomy of individual man as ingenious as plausible. The successive scale of the instincts, passions, and faculties is then ascended in a double mode in the two primitive sexes and is continued through history from the savage state to the barbarous, from the original civilizations to our own. M. d'Olivet has given the public a philosophical study of per* manent value.
Miss Redfield's translation retains excellently the fluent style of the original.
