Die vorliegende Abhandlung bespricht die Probe eines solchen Detail-Versuches.
The present treatise reviews a specimen of such a detail-experiment.
specimen = Probe Bateson has “results of such a detailed experiment”, Sherwood “the attempt at such a detailed experiment”. Probe can mean a variety of things: indeed “attempt” or “test” (see p. 6, s. 7), but also “exemplar” or “sample”. This ambivalence finds a natural explanation when one thinks of a test that involves the production of a sample or specimen of work to demonstrate one’s capacities, as was common in guilds and at universities; see Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Deutsches Wörterbuch, online-edition, s.v. “probe” (1889).
reviews = bespricht Bateson has “records”, Sherwood “discusses”; see p. 3, s. 2
detail-experiment = Detail-Versuches see p. 3, s. 7.
