ABSTRACT
With this reservation, the richness of Mr. Huxley's book cannot be too much admired; one can find in it the same gift for implacable and almost sadistic analysis that burst forth in Point Counter Point But there is another thing which shows a profound development in the writer. Anthony Beavis, who has been successively the lover of Mary Amberley and of her daughter Helen, who, to win a bet, has driven his friend Brian Foxe to despair and death by turning his fiancee from him, in brief, who has behaved in life like one devoid not only of moral sense but even of a heart, is won over in the end by a sort of religion more Ghandist than Christian and which is, however, somewhat related to the conceptions professed by the 'Oxford groups.'1
