Preface

Summary
I am grateful to the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press and especially to Mr William Davies for undertaking to publish a further collection of my articles and occasional pieces, and I repeat my earlier hope that their generosity will not come to appear misguided. In editing the material I have followed the principles explained in the previous prefaces, using square brackets to add explanations and corrections. I have also converted American and German printing conventions, especially in footnotes, into my standardised English practice, in order to achieve a seemly conformity. In view of what one or two reviewers of the third volume said, I think I must apologise for including three untranslated pieces in German, but that was the form in which they were published and moreover delivered: all three were lectures, one of them unscripted (and, owing to the failure of the tape-recorder, recalled from memory).
