=Caledonia=, or the Future of the Scots. By G. M. THOMSON. Exit the Scot! Under this heading the Scottish people are revealed as a leaderless mob in whom national pride has been strangled. They regard, unmoved, the spectacle of their monstrous slum-evil, the decay of their industries, the devastation of their countryside. This is the most compact and mordant indictment of Scottish policy that has yet been written. =Albyn=, or Scotland and the Future. By C. M. GRIEVE, author of ‘Contemporary Scottish Studies’, etc. A vigorous answer, explicit and implicit, to _Caledonia_, tracing the movements of a real Scottish revival, in music, art, literature, and politics, and coming to the conclusion that there is a chance even now for the regeneration of the Scottish people. =Lares et Penates=, or the Future of the Home. By H. J. BIRNSTINGL. All the many forces at work to-day are influencing the planning, appearance, and equipment of the home. This is the main thesis of this stimulating volume, which considers also the labour-saving movement, the ‘ideal’ house, the influence of women, the servant problem, and the relegation of aesthetic considerations to the background. Disconcerting prognostications follow. _NEARLY READY_ =Archon=, or the Future of Government. By HAMILTON FYFE.

Chemistry as the means of human emancipation is the subject of this book. To-day chemistry is one of the master factors of our existence; to-morrow it will dominate every phase of life, winning for man the goal of all his endeavour, economic freedom. It may also effect a startling change in man himself. =The Future of Physics.= By L. L. WHYTE. The last few years have been a critical period in the development of physics. We stand on the eve of a new epoch. Physics, biology, and psychology are converging towards a scientific synthesis of unprecedented importance whose influence on thought and social custom will be so profound as to mark a stage in human evolution. This book interprets these events and should be read in connexion with _Gallio_, by J. W. N. Sullivan, in this series. =Ikonoclastes=, or the Future of Shakespeare. By HUBERT GRIFFITHS. Taking as text the recent productions of classical plays in modern dress, the author, a distinguished dramatic critic, suggests that this is the proper way of reviving Shakespeare and other great dramatists of the past, and that their successful revival in modern dress may perhaps be taken as an indication of their value. _IN PREPARATION_ =Bacchus=, or the Future of Wine.
