Epigraph: Each, desperate, his sword against the world, A blow for his diverse illusion tries. The truth man leaps to when the banner's furled, And man confronts his bosom, makes him wise. - Sonnets of Baylebridge

Author's Foreword: This essay was written in three instalments: the first in June 1935, the second in July 1935, and the third in January 1936. It was originally intended for serial publication, and the first instalment was so published, in 'The Australian Mercury' (July 1935). The second and third instalments are now printed for the first time, 'The Australian Mercury' having suspended publication because no philanthropist could be found to nurse it financially....P.R.S. Sydney. February, 1936.
