In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

177 power runs the risk of extinguishing the disinterested discriminations of the Intellect. In his political activity Leonard Woolf tried to bridge the ideals of liberalism and the crude realities of political power, and to effect a synthesis of these conflicting elements. He did not turn from the realities of politics as one of his mentors Goldsvorthy Lowes Dickinson was tempted to do when he once said that he was unable to formulate clearly "the relation of ideals to passion and interests." This is the relation that the pragmatic Leonard Woolf never lost sight of. He evidently wanted to do more than he did, but he was more successful, I am sure, than he judges himself to have been.
