Fuller, J. F. C. (John Frederick Charles)
Railroads -- History; Transportation; Trucks
“A brilliant piece of speculative induction.”—_Saturday Review._ “An
extremely interesting and suggestive book, which will reward careful
reading.”—_Sunday Times._ “The pictures carry fearful
conviction.”—_Daily Herald._
=The Conquest of Cancer.= By H. W. S. WRIGHT, M.S., F.R.C.S.
Introduction by F. G. CROOKSHANK, M.D.
“Eminently suitable for general reading. The problem is fairly and
lucidly presented. One merit of Mr. Wright’s plan is that he tells
people what, in his judgment, they can best do, _here and
now_.”—From the _Introduction_.
=Pygmalion=, or the Doctor of the Future. By R. MCNAIR WILSON, M.D.
“Dr Wilson has added a brilliant essay to this series.”—_Times
Literary Supplement._ “This is a very little book, but there is much
wisdom in it.”—_Evening Standard._ “No doctor worth his salt would
venture to say that Dr Wilson was wrong.”—_Daily Herald._
=Prometheus=, or Biology and the Advancement of Man. By H. S.
JENNINGS, Professor of Zoology, Johns Hopkins University.
“This volume is one of the most remarkable that has yet appeared in
this series. Certainly the information it contains will be due to
most educated laymen. It is essentially a discussion of ... heredity
and environment, and it clearly establishes the fact that the
current use of these terms has no scientific justification.”—_Times
Literary Supplement._ “An exceedingly brilliant book.”—_New Leader._
=Narcissus=: an Anatomy of Clothes. By GERALD HEARD. With 19
illustrations.
“A most suggestive book.”—_Nation._ “Irresistible. Reading it is
like a switchback journey. Starting from prehistoric times we rocket
down the ages.”—_Daily News._ “Interesting, provocative, and
entertaining.”—_Queen._
=Thamyris=, or Is There a Future for Poetry? By R. C. TREVELYAN.
“Learned, sensible, and very well-written.”—_Affable Hawk_, in _New
Statesman_. “Very suggestive.”—_J. C. Squire_, in _Observer_. “A
very charming piece of work. I agree with all, or at any rate,
almost all its conclusions.”—_J. St. Loe Strachey_, in _Spectator_.
=Proteus=, or the Future of Intelligence. By VERNON LEE, author of
“Satan the Waster,” etc.
“We should like to follow the author’s suggestions as to the effect
of intelligence on the future of Ethics, Aesthetics, and Manners.
Her book is profoundly stimulating and should be read by
everyone.”—_Outlook._ “A concise, suggestive piece of
work.”—_Saturday Review._
=Timotheus=, the Future of the Theatre. By BONAMY DOBRÉE, author of
“Restoration Drama,” etc.
“A witty, mischievous little book, to be read with delight.”—_Times
Literary Supplement._ “This is a delightfully witty
book.”—_Scotsman._ “In a subtly satirical vein he visualizes various
kinds of theatres in 200 years time. His gay little book makes
delightful reading.”—_Nation._
