There are unmistakable indications that the system of politics at present pursued by the two chief political parties is not meeting with the approval of the electorate as a whole, though this electorate, as a result of the Caucus methods, finds it increasingly difficult to give expression to its views. In his book on Tory Democracy, Mr J. M. Kennedy, who is already favourably known through his books on modern philosophical and sociological subjects, sets forth the principles underlying a system of politics which was seriously studied by men so widely different as Disraeli, Bismarck, and Lord Randolph Churchill. Mr Kennedy not only shows the close connection still existing between the aristocracy and the working classes, but he also has the distinction of being the first writer to lay down a constructive Conservative policy which is independent of Tariff Reform. Apart from this, the chapters of his work which deal with Representative Government, the House of Lords, and "Liberalism at Work" throw entirely new light on many vexed questions of modern politics. The book, it may be added, is written in a style that spares neither parties nor persons. London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi PRINCIPLES OF A NEW SYSTEM OF PSYCHOLOGY BY ARTHUR LYNCH, M.A., C.E., L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S.E., M.P. AUTHOR OF "HUMAN DOCUMENTS," ETC., ETC. _Two Vols. Demy 8vo. 10s. 6d. net each_ _A BASIC WORK OF ANALYSIS_ This book is dynamic. It is new in the sense in which Schwann's Cell Theory was new to Physiology, or Dalton's Atomic Theory to Chemistry. The author has faced the problem in its widest extension: Can the entire realm of knowledge, and the whole possible scope of mental acts, be so resolved that we may formulate the unanalysable elements, the Fundamental Processes of the mind? This problem is solved, and thence the manner of all synthesis indicated. The argument is closely consecutive, but the severity is relieved by abundant illustrations drawn from many sciences. The principles established will afford criteria in regard to every position in Psychology. New light will be thrown, for instance, on Kant's Categories, Spencer's Hedonism, Fechner's Law, the foundation of Mathematics, Memory, Association, Externality, Will, the Feeling of Effort, Brain Localisations, and finally on the veritable nature of Reason. A philosophy of Research is foreshadowed. The work offers a base on which all valid studies may be co-ordinated, and developments are indicated. It presupposes no technical knowledge, and the exposition is couched in simple language. It will give a new impetus to Psychology.
