“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.
“It has substance and thought in it. The author is very much alive
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._
=Lars Porsena=, or the Future of Swearing and Improper Language. By
ROBERT GRAVES. _Third impression._
“Goes uncommonly well, and deserves to.”--_Observer._ “Not for
squeamish readers.”--_Spectator._ “No more amusingly unexpected
contribution has been made to this series. A deliciously ironical
affair.”--_Bystander._ “His highly entertaining essay is as full
as the current standard of printers and police will allow.”--_New
Statesman._ “Humour and style are beyond criticism.”--_Irish
Statesman._
=Socrates=, or the Emancipation of Mankind. By H. F. CARLILL.
“Devotes a specially lively section to the herd instinct.”--_Times._
“Clearly, and with a balance that is almost Aristotelian, he
reveals what modern psychology is going to accomplish.”--_New
Statesman._ “One of the most brilliant and important of a remarkable
series.”--_Westminster Gazette._
=Delphos=, or the Future of International Language. By E. SYLVIA
PANKHURST.
“Equal to anything yet produced in this brilliant series. Miss
Pankhurst states very clearly what all thinking people must soon
come to believe, that an international language would be one of the
greatest assets of civilization.”--_Spectator._ “A most readable
book, full of enthusiasm, an important contribution to this
subject.”--_International Language._
=Gallio=, or the Tyranny of Science. By J. W. N. SULLIVAN, author of
“A History of Mathematics.”
“So packed with ideas that it is not possible to give any adequate
_résumé_ of its contents.”--_Times Literary Supplement._ “His
remarkable monograph, his devastating summary of materialism, this
pocket _Novum Organum_.”--_Spectator._ “Possesses a real distinction
of thought and manner. It must be read.”--_New Statesman._
=Apollonius=, or the Future of Psychical Research. By E. N. BENNETT,
author of “Problems of Village Life,” etc.
