A companion volume to _Atlantis_. “Full of astute observations and
acute reflections ... this wise and witty pamphlet, a provocation to
the thought that is creative.”--_Morning Post._ “A punch in every
paragraph. One could hardly ask for more ‘meat.’”--_Spectator._
=Nuntius=, or Advertising and its Future. By GILBERT RUSSELL.
“Expresses the philosophy of advertising concisely and
well.”--_Observer._ “It is doubtful if a more straightforward
exposition of the part advertising plays in our public and private
life has been written.”--_Manchester Guardian._
=Birth Control and the State=: a Plea and a Forecast. By C. P.
BLACKER, _M.C._, M.A., M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P.
“A very careful summary.”--_Times Literary Supplement._ “A
temperate and scholarly survey of the arguments for and against the
encouragement of the practice of birth control.”--_Lancet._ “He
writes lucidly, moderately, and from wide knowledge; his book
undoubtedly gives a better understanding of the subject than any
other brief account we know. It also suggests a policy.”--_Saturday
Review._
=Ouroboros=, or the Mechanical Extension of Mankind. By GARET GARRETT.
“This brilliant and provoking little book.”--_Observer._ “A
significant and thoughtful essay, calculated in parts to make our
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._
=Artifex=, or the Future of Craftsmanship. By JOHN GLOAG, author of
“Time, Taste, and Furniture.”
“An able and interesting summary of the history of craftsmanship
in the past, a direct criticism of the present, and at the end his
hopes for the future. Mr Gloag’s real contribution to the future of
craftsmanship is his discussion of the uses of machinery.”--_Times
Literary Supplement._
=Plato’s American Republic.= By J. DOUGLAS WOODRUFF. _Fourth
impression._
“Uses the form of the Socratic dialogue with devastating success. A
gently malicious wit sparkles in every page.”--_Sunday Times._
“Having deliberately set himself an almost impossible task, has
succeeded beyond belief.”--_Saturday Review._ “Quite the liveliest
even of this spirited series.”--_Observer._
=Orpheus=, or the Music of the Future. By W. J. TURNER, author of
“Music and Life.” _Second impression._
“A book on music that we can read not merely once, but twice or
thrice. Mr Turner has given us some of the finest thinking upon
Beethoven that I have ever met with.”--_Ernest Newman_ in _Sunday
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.”
