Pegasus : $b problems of transportation
Fuller, J. F. C. (John Frederick Charles)
Railroads -- History; Transportation; Trucks
This series of books, by some of the most distinguished English
thinkers, scientists, philosophers, doctors, critics, and artists, was
at once recognized as a noteworthy event. Written from various points of
view, one book frequently opposing the argument of another, they provide
the reader with a stimulating survey of the most modern thought in many
departments of life. Several volumes are devoted to the future trend of
Civilization, conceived as a whole; while others deal with particular
provinces, and cover the future of Woman, War, Population, Clothes,
Wireless, Morals, Drama, Poetry, Art, Sex, Law, etc.
It is interesting to see in these neat little volumes, issued at a low
price, the revival of a form of literature, the Pamphlet, which has been
in disuse for 200 years.
