Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mysticism and the Way Out: Conway Memorial Lecture, Delivered at South Place Institute on March 18, 1920
AN excellent tradition limits the Chairman's remarks on these occasions to the brief discharge of two duties he is expected to make some graceful allusion to the attainments of the lecturer, and to preface the lecture with a few remarks which will serve as bars d'aeuvre to whet the appetite or the impatience of the audience for the more solid repast to follow.
In discharging the first of these duties Iam conscious of an embarrassment for it surely savours of absurdity that some one whose activities have a direction rather remote from the common interest which assembles here this evening should presume to commend to your attention a worker whose services to Rationalism need no cataloguing or appraisement before this audience. Neither the readers of his published work nor those of us who have been privileged to come into closer contact with his personality need reminding that Dr. Tuckett, in addition to a long schooling in the disciplines of scientific research, brings to his consideration of a problem a rare combination of critical acumen with a disinterested love of truth. I feel therefore that your mood of expectant appreciation can dispense with any encomiums on my part.
