“Readers of _Daedalus_, _Icarus_ and _Tantalus_, will be
grateful for an excellent presentation of yet another point
of view.”--_Yorkshire Post._ “This bright and bracing little
book.”--_Literary Guide._ “Interesting and original.”--_Medical
Times._
=The Mongol in our Midst=: a Study of Man and his Three Faces. By
F. G. CROOKSHANK, M.D., F.R.C.P. With 28 Plates. _Second Edition,
revised._
“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.B.
“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
new 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._
