He may glut himself on great slices of history, literature, and economic theory. He may find stern, simple dishes in the fields of science and engineering, or he may delight a delicate fastidiousness with the nicer arts of music, painting, and sculpture.

But Mr. Sergel harps on this theme and its attendant circumstances for 176 pages--and does not reach the truth even then. His glut of torment is avowedly only to set the stage and fix the characters in their primary position, but even with this achieved he tells but half the story...
