ABSTRACT
Experience might have shown the author that readers habitually assume a critic’s version of an author’s statement to be the true version, and that they rarely take the trouble to see whether the meaning ascribed to a detached passage is the meaning which it bears when taken with the context. Green appears to think, the object exists only by correlation with the subject. Equally fundamental is another preliminary misconception which Prof. Green exhibits. A single brief example will typify Prof. Green’s general method of procedure. Possibly some of Prof. Green’s adherents will ask how, after he has stated that he cannot honestly retract, and that he is not guilty of misrepresentation, the author can describe his criticism as unscrupulous. The only other possible supposition which occurs to the author's , is that such a proceeding is a natural sequence of the philosophy to which he adheres.
