CHAMBERLAIN. A Translation from the German by JOHN LEES. With an
Introduction by LORD REDESDALE. Demy 8vo. 2 vols. 25s. net. Third
Edition.
⁂ “A manwho can write such a really beautiful and solemn appreciation
of true Christianity, of true acceptance of Christ’s teachings and
personality, as Mr. Chamberlain has done ... represents an influence
to be reckoned with and seriously to be taken into account.”—_Theodore
Roosevelt in the Outlook, New York._
⁂ “It is a masterpiece of really scientific history. It does not make
confusion, it clears it away. He is a great generalizer of thought, as
distinguished from the crowd of mere specialists. It is certain to
stir up thought. Whoever has not read it will be rather out of it in
political and sociological discussions for some time to come.”—_George
Bernard Shaw in Fabian News._
⁂ “This is unquestionably one of the rare books that really matter.
His judgments of men and things are deeply and indisputably sincere
and are based on immense reading.... But even many well-informed
people ... will be grateful to Lord Redesdale for the biographical
details which he gives them in the valuable and illuminating
introduction contributed by him to this English translation.”—_Times._
IMMANUEL KANT. A Study and Comparison with Goethe, Leonardo da Vinci,
Bruno, Plato and Descartes. By HOUSTON STEWART CHAMBERLAIN, author of
“The Foundations of the Nineteenth Century.” Translated by LORD
REDESDALE. 2 vols. Demy 8vo. 25s. net.
⁂ “This is a book, if ever there was one, which should fire the mind
of the reader with the desire to be at home in the region of which it
treats. It is a book which teems with interest. We must not conclude
without a reference to the merits of the translation of Lord
Redesdale. The book must have demanded throughout the most painstaking
observance of delicate shades of meaning. These have been rendered
with faultless accuracy, yet in a style of individuality and
animation.”—_The Times._
