Book by Dr. Rand.

MacMillan & Company have recently published a new philosophical work by Dr. Benjamin Rand. It is entitled "The Life, Unpublished Letters and Philosophical Regimen of Anthony, Earl of Shaftesbury." The book is the result of years of investigation among old English manuscripts. Dr. Rand considers Shaftesbury the greatest of modern stoies and his philosophy as the strongest expression of stoicism since the days of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. The letters contained in the volume throw much light on Shaftesbury's character and are all in Shaftesburys' best style. It is this portion of the book that is most helpful to the ordinary reader, for it enables him to understand better a great philanthropist, a sound thinker, and a deep student of human and ethical problems.

The book is of especial value to students of philosophy in its history, for Shaftesbury is still regarded as the foremost English disciple of the so-called philosophy of the porch.
