Abstract

The only change in the second edition of Mrs Warnock’s book is the slightly longer bibliography of significant ethical writings of the period in question. The book is written with great clarity of expression and conciseness of thought—characteristics which are especially praiseworthy in treating of a subject which tends to confuse the general reader at least, by its endless and often bewildering discussions concerning the descriptive, prescriptive, imperative and emotive meanings of our language.
