difficulties raised by theinfuence of Language upon Thought.  \nIt is claimed that in the science of Symbolism,¹thestudy of that influence,a new avenue of approach totraditional problems hitherto regarded as reserved forthe philosopher and the metaphysician,has been found.And further that such an investigation of these problemsis in accordance with the methods of the special scienceswhose

constant underlying sense of a sign or token(some-thngput together')the term has already enjoyed two distinct forutsThe first,traceable to Cyprian,applies to the Creed regarded as the'sign'of a
