temperate and scholarly survey of the arguments for and against

Review._

flesh creep.”—_Spectator._ “A brilliant writer, Mr Garrett is a
remarkable man. He explains something of the enormous change the
machine has made in life.”—_Daily Express._

“Time, Taste, and Furniture.”
“An able and interesting summary of the history of craftsmanship

craftsmanship is his discussion of the uses of machinery.”—_Times

Times_. “A brilliant essay in contemporary philosophy.”—_Outlook._
“The fruit of real knowledge and understanding.”—_New Statesman._
=Terpander=, or Music and the Future. By E. J. DENT, author of
“Mozart’s Operas.”

first principles. Mr Dent’s book is a skilful review of the
development of music. It is the most succinct and stimulating
essay on music I have found....”—_Musical News._ “Remarkably able
and stimulating.”—_Times Literary Supplement._ “There is hardly
another critic alive who could sum up contemporary tendencies so
neatly.”—_Spectator._

St. Andrew’s.

speculations may be taken as a trustworthy guide ... to modern
scientific thought.”—_Birmingham Post._
