The commission for a book on Nietzsche, to form the latest addition to a series of famous philosophers, is most certainly a sign that the age of adversity, through which the earlier Nietzscheans had to struggle, has at last come to an end. For ten consecutive years they had had no reply whatever to their propaganda, and their publications, loud as some of them were, proved as ineffective as cannon shots fired into the eternity of interplanetary space. Finally, however, when the echo was at last heard, it gave back nothing like the original sound: it was an echo of groans and moans, an echo of roaring disapproval and hissing mockery. Yet the years rolled on and on-and so did the printing-presses-hissing and roaring as much as ever-but at last, their thunders grew tamer and more subdued-the tempest of their fury seemed to die away in the distance-occasionally a slight mutter was still to be heard, but no more flashes and hisses-and suddenly a streak of blue was observed over the horizon, followed by a ray and smile of sunlight-and a soft zephyr of subdued and tentative compliments-and when our Nietzsche edition had begun to appear in its stately volumes we were enabled to receive from our former enemies on both sides of the Atlantic "respectful congratulations."
