Moral Poison in Modern Fiction
Johnson, R. Brimley (Reginald Brimley)
English fiction -- 20th century -- History and criticism; Pornography
If we may not refuse new light, we can never forget old truth. The
foundations of morality have been established by our gradual emergence
from that state of savagery, into which we were again for a few years
submerged by war.
Those who blot out the Vision attained by centuries of man's upward
fight, thereby confounding the ultimate issues of right and wrong,
setting the body above the soul, _are intoxicating and poisoning
humanity as with a deadly drug_.

THE
FALLACIES _of_ SPIRITUALISM
By A. LEONARD SUMMERS
2s. 6d. net.
SOME EARLY REVIEWS
"This booklet is an extremely able and interesting criticism
of a craze that has become widespread with the most pernicious
results. The writer does not limit himself to an account of the
sensational frauds that have been exposed on both sides of the
Atlantic, but he analyses the evidence of Sir Oliver Lodge,
Sir A. Conan Doyle, Mr. Vale Owen, and other distinguished
spiritualists, with merciless severity and very great
acumen."—_Freeman's Journal._
"Lucidly written, and without bitterness, Mr. Summers makes out
a good case for the 'againsts' in this little book."—_Glasgow
Citizen._
"As a popular indictment, Mr. Summer's pamphlet is likely to
make a considerable impression. It remains for his opponents to
offer as succinct and well-documented an answer."—_The Times
Literary Supplement._

PSYCHIC PHENOMENA IN
THE OLD TESTAMENT
By SARAH A. TOOLEY
2s. 6d. net.
Scenes and occurrences in the Old Testament, so familiar as to have
lost their real significance, are here described in a way that will be
of extraordinary interest to the psychic student of to-day.

MORAL POISON IN
MODERN FICTION
By R. BRIMLEY JOHNSON
2s. 6d. net.
The truth about certain new theories of morality, taught in some modern
novels, assumed in others, and to some extent already put in practice
by young readers, frankly and carefully examined, with an exposure
of their probable evil influence. Extracts from novels by well-known
writers give point and interest to what amounts to an unhesitating
condemnation.
_NEW BOOK BY TROWARD._
THE HIDDEN POWER. By T. TROWARD. With frontispiece portrait of
the author. Uniform with author's Complete Works. Crown 8vo,
cloth, 8s. 6d. net.
This important volume, which includes practically all Troward's
unpublished manuscripts and magazine articles, concludes
the series of books on Mental Science by an author who was
described by the late Archdeacon Wilberforce as "one of the
greatest thinkers of our times." It is significant to note that
these books, beautiful in their sustained clearness of thought
and style, are now included in the curriculum of societies,
clubs and classes devoted to the study of Mental Science.
