AUDEN, W.H. Autograph manuscript signed ("W.H. Auden"), entitled "Emprics for the Millions," n.p., [1940]. 4 pages, 4to, in neat ink with some corrections in pencil, slipcase.
AUDEN ON SCIENCE. Auden's review of Prof. Lancelot Hogden's book Dangerous Thoughts was published in Common Sense, May 1940. Four quotations from the book are transcribed at the manuscripts opening before Auden begins his analysis of Hogden's scientific humanism. His praise for the book and its author are unfettered, "his earlier books have already proved that he is one of the most brilliant teachers in England." Auden spends much time discussing philosophy and psychology, concluding that "psychology is a young science. There is still hope."
