Extract

In a review of Professor Louis de la Vallée Poussin's book Le Védisme, p. 472 of this Journal, Mr. A. Berriedale Keith makes the following remark: “He [Poussin] is inclined with Barth and Winternitz not to reject as wrong Jacobi's great chronological argument: we think this is to be much too favourable to it. It cannot survive Whitney, Thibaut, and Oldenberg's onslaught.” As Mr. Keith probably does not stand alone in this opinion, may I be allowed to say a few words on this head?
