Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Outcast: A Rhyme for the Time
A critic of the period has defined a classic as an old book which is read by the young.

No work of mine, except The Wandering Jew, ' has brought me so much correspondence from young thinkers in all parts of the world, and I am constantly urged to complete the plan, a somewhat exhaustive one, as soon as possible. In answer to such correspondents, I may explain that the work is well advanced towards completion, and that I hope to issue it before long in a definitive shape. In the meantime, the present volume is perfectly complete in itself - lotus teres algae rotundus.
