Palgrave draws on a wide range of philosophical and literary sources, including the works of Plato, Shakespeare, and Nietzsche, to support his arguments.Throughout the book, Palgrave emphasizes the importance of self-awareness and introspection in gaining a deeper understanding of reality. He also discusses the role of art and literature in shaping our perceptions of the world, and argues that these creative works can help us to see beyond our own limitations and biases.Overall, A Vision of Life: Semblance and Reality is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of reality and our relationship to it.

William Gifford Palgrave (1826-1888) was a renowned traveller and Arabic scholar. After graduating from Trinity College, Cambridge in 1846 he received a lieutenant's commission in the 8th Bombay Regiment of native infantry, but he converted to Roman Catholicism, and settled in Syria as a missionary in 1855, during which time he travelled across Arabia. After renouncing Catholicism in 1865, he began a career with the British foreign service, working in several positions in the Far East. This volume, first published in 1876, contains Palgrave's account of his visit to Dutch Guiana, now the South American country of Suriname.
