Events of the last few years have shaken our political and economic systems to their foundations. The old guarantees of order and progress no longer suffice. The problems of 1920 are not those of 1914. Human Nature itself, as an operative force, has changed. These chapters discuss the revelations and describe the new ideals that are struggling to get themselves realized in the new Industry, the new State, and the new World-Order. Principles of Revolution BY C. DELISLE BURNS _Cr. 8vo._ _5s. net._ This is a statement of the general principles underlying modern programmes for a radical transformation of society. Revolution is taken to mean the method by which such a transformation may be secured; and it is therefore opposed to chaos or violence and contrasted with piecemeal reforms. The description of the ideal is given as the interpretation of certain contemporary movements and not as propaganda for any political party. This book, therefore, aims not at an advocacy of revolution but at an explanation of the grounds which lead men to desire it. Modern English Statesmen BY G. R. STIRLING TAYLOR _Demy 8vo._ _10s. 6d. net._ In a series of historical character studies, this book reconsiders the position of modern statesmanship since the Stuart Rebellion. Taking the accepted facts of the latest historians, but using evidence to which they rarely give its due weight, the author maintains that many of the "orthodox" opinions are not logical deductions from the data. The book is a charge that since the days of Lord Burghley statesmanship has too often degenerated into politics. It is an attempt to estimate some typical public men in the light of a colder reason, which shows, for example, that Oliver Cromwell was a founder of modern Plutocracy, while Benjamin Disraeli was the defender of Democracy. A Guildsman's Interpretation of History BY A. J. PENTY _Demy 8vo._ _12s. 6d. net._ "Mr. Penty is certainly one of the most interesting of living men, and this is, perhaps, the most interesting of his books. I recommend every one to read it."--G. K.
