“Eminently suitable for general reading. The problem is fairly and
lucidly presented. One merit of Mr Wright’s plan is that he tells
people what, in his judgment, they can best do, _here and
now_.”--From the _Introduction_.
=Pygmalion=, or the Doctor of the Future. By R. MCNAIR WILSON, M.B.
“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.
