Dr. Martineau’s Philosophy

“if, as Hegel suggests, attempts to interpret a writer are the marks of his greatness, James Martineau has no need of further witnesses. Among his many interpreters none speaks with greater authority than Professor Upton. One of his pupils, he has also been a life-long student of his works, and has further been able to correct and extend the impression of his master’s teaching by frequent familiar conversations. The result is a condensed account of his opinions written from the inside which never flags in interest and impresses the reader with a vivid sense of reality.”
