A fine, attractive, useful edition. --George F. Day, University of Northern Iowa
A fine edition. I was especially impressed with the appendices and the notes section. Very helpful. --John Guzlowski, Eastern Illinois University
Excellent edition--the comments by Sutherland illuminate the philosophical and personal underpinings of a deceptively complex work by a deceptively complex writer. Also the Explanatory Notes are quite good. --Jack Summers, Central Piedmont Community College
Thank you. --James R. Hepworth, Lewis-Clark State College
