Excerpt from A Voyage of Discovery: A Paper Read Before the American Academy of Arts and Letters at New York, December 9, 1915Dilthey, on the other hand, was very insistent that precise notes should be taken. To this end he divided his daily lecture into two parts. It was his custom to speak for about twenty-five minutes in a general way in exposition of the subject under immediate consideration, and then for twenty minutes to dictate, with painstaking accuracy and reiteration, precisely what he wished the student to put down. It would have been so easy for Professor Dilthey to print this material in a pamphlet that his practise was always resented as more or less of a re¿ection on the art of printing.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
