=Lucullus=, or the Food of the Future. By OLGA HARTLEY and MRS C. F.
LEYEL, authors of “The Gentle Art of Cookery.”
“This is a clever and witty little volume in an entertaining
series, and it makes enchanting reading.”—_Times Literary
Supplement._ “Opens with a brilliant picture of modern man, living
in a vacuum-cleaned, steam-heated, credit-furnished suburban
mansion ‘with a wolf in the basement’—the wolf of hunger. This
banquet of epigrams.”—_Spectator._
=Procrustes=, or the Future of English Education. By M. ALDERTON PINK.
“Undoubtedly he makes out a very good case.”—_Daily Herald._
“This interesting addition to the series.”—_Times Educational
Supplement._ “Intends to be challenging and succeeds in being so.
All fit readers will find it stimulating.”—_Northern Echo._
=The Future of Futurism.= By JOHN RODKER.
“Mr Rodker is up-to-the-minute, and he has accomplished a
considerable feat in writing on such a vague subject, 92 extremely
interesting pages.”—_T. S. Eliot_, in _Nation_. “There are a good
many things in this book which are of interest.”—_Times Literary
Supplement._
=Pomona=, or the Future of English. By _Basil de Sélincourt_, author
of “The English Secret”, etc.

interest.”—_Morning Post._ “Full of wise thoughts and happy
words.”—_Times Literary Supplement._ “His later pages must stir
the blood of any man who loves his country and her poetry.”—_J. C.
Squire_, in _Observer_. “His finely-conceived essay.”—_Manchester
Guardian._

“A really brilliant addition to this already distinguished
series. The reading of _Balbus_ will give much data for
intelligent prophecy, and incidentally, an hour or so of excellent
entertainment.”—_Spectator._ “Most readable and reasonable. We can
recommend it warmly.”—_New Statesman._ “This intriguing little
book.”—_Connoisseur._
=Apella=, or the Future of the Jews. By A QUARTERLY REVIEWER.
“Cogent, because of brevity and a magnificent prose style, this
book wins our quiet praise. It is a fine pamphlet, adding to the
value of the series, and should not be missed.”—_Spectator._ “A
notable addition to this excellent series. His arguments are a
provocation to fruitful thinking.”—_Morning Post._
=The Dance of Çiva=, or Life’s Unity and Rhythm. By COLLUM.

and responsive to the movements of to-day.”—_Spectator._ “A very
interesting account of the work of Sir Jagadis Bose.”—_Oxford
Magazine._ “Has caught the spirit of the Eastern conception of
world movements.”—_Calcutta Statesman._
