“Dr Wilson has added a brilliant essay to this series.”—_Times
Literary Supplement._ “This is a very little book, but there is
much wisdom in it.”—_Evening Standard._ “No doctor worth his salt
would venture to say that Dr Wilson was wrong.”—_Daily Herald._
=Prometheus=, or Biology and the Advancement of Man. By H. S.
JENNINGS, Professor of Zoology, Johns Hopkins University. _Second
Impression._
“This volume is one of the most remarkable that has yet appeared
in this series. Certainly the information it contains will be
new to most educated laymen. It is essentially a discussion
of ... heredity and environment, and it clearly establishes
the fact that the current use of these terms has no scientific
justification.”—_Times Literary Supplement._ “An exceedingly
brilliant book.”—_New Leader._
=Narcissus=: an Anatomy of Clothes. By GERALD HEARD. With 19
illustrations.
“A most suggestive book.”—_Nation._ “Irresistible. Reading it is
like a switchback journey. Starting from prehistoric times we
rocket down the ages.”—_Daily News._ “Interesting, provocative, and
entertaining.”—_Queen._
=Thamyris=, or Is There a Future for Poetry? By R. C. TREVELYAN.
“Learned, sensible, and very well-written.”—_Affable Hawk_, in
_New Statesman_. “Very suggestive.”—_J. C. Squire_, in _Observer_.
“A very charming piece of work, I agree with all, or at any rate,
almost all its conclusions.”—_J. St Loe Strachey_, in _Spectator_.
=Proteus=, or the Future of Intelligence. By VERNON LEE, author of
“Satan the Waster,” etc.
“We should like to follow the author’s suggestions as to the
effect of intelligence on the future of Ethics, Aesthetics,
and Manners. Her book is profoundly stimulating and should be
read by everyone.”—_Outlook._ “A concise, suggestive piece of
work.”—_Saturday Review._
=Timotheus=, the Future of the Theatre. By BONAMY DOBRÉE, author of
“Restoration Drama,” etc.
“A witty, mischievous little book, to be read with delight.”—_Times
Literary Supplement._ “This is a delightfully witty
book.”—_Scotsman._ “In a subtly satirical vein he visualizes
various kinds of theatres in 200 years’ time. His gay little book
makes delightful reading.”—_Nation._
=Paris=, or the Future of War. By Captain B. H. LIDDELL HART.
“A companion volume to _Callinicus_. A gem of close thinking
and deduction.”—_Observer._ “A noteworthy contribution to a
problem of concern to every citizen in this country.”—_Daily
Chronicle._ “There is some lively thinking about the future of war
in Paris, just added to this set of live-wire pamphlets on big
subjects.”—_Manchester Guardian._
=Wireless Possibilities.= By Professor A. M. LOW. With 4 diagrams.
“As might be expected from an inventor who is always so fresh,
he has many interesting things to say.”—_Evening Standard._ “The
mantle of Blake has fallen upon the physicists. To them we look for
visions, and we find them in this book.”—_New Statesman._
