Briggs, Martin S. (Martin Shaw)
Country life -- Great Britain; Great Britain -- Economic conditions; Land use, Rural -- Great Britain
“Candid and caustic.”--_Observer._ “Many hard things have been
said about America, but few quite so bitter and caustic as
these.”--_Daily Sketch._ “He can conjure up possibilities of a new
Atlantis.”--_Clarion._
=Midas=, or the United States and the Future. By C. H. BRETHERTON,
author of “The Real Ireland”, etc.
A companion volume to _Atlantis_. “Full of astute observations
and acute reflections ... this wise and witty pamphlet, a
provocation to the thought that is creative.”--_Morning Post._
“A punch in every paragraph. One could hardly ask for more
‘meat.’”--_Spectator._
=Nuntius=, or Advertising and its Future. By GILBERT RUSSELL.
“Expresses the philosophy of advertising concisely and
well.”--_Observer._ “It is doubtful if a more straightforward
exposition of the part advertising plays in our public and private
life has been written.”--_Manchester Guardian._
=Birth Control and the State=: a Plea and a Forecast. By C. P.
BLACKER, _M.C._, M.A., M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P.
“A very careful summary.”--_Times Literary Supplement._ “A
temperate and scholarly survey of the arguments for and against
the encouragement of the practice of birth control.”--_Lancet._
“He writes lucidly, moderately, and from wide knowledge; his book
undoubtedly gives a better understanding of the subject than any
other brief account we know. It also suggests a policy.”--_Saturday
Review._
=Ouroboros=, or the Mechanical Extension of Mankind. By GARET GARRETT.
“This brilliant and provoking little book.”--_Observer._ “A
significant and thoughtful essay, calculated in parts to make our
flesh creep.”--_Spectator._ “A brilliant writer, Mr. Garrett is a
remarkable man. He explains something of the enormous change the
machine has made in life.”--_Daily Express._
=Artifex=, or the Future of Craftsmanship. By JOHN GLOAG, author of
“Time, Taste, and Furniture.”
“An able and interesting summary of the history of craftsmanship
in the past, a direct criticism of the present, and at the end
his hopes for the future. Mr. Gloag’s real contribution to
the future of craftsmanship is his discussion of the uses of
machinery.”--_Times Literary Supplement._
=Plato’s American Republic.= By J. DOUGLAS WOODRUFF. _Third
impression._
“Uses the form of the Socratic dialogue with devastating success.
A gently malicious wit sparkles in every page.”--_Sunday Times._
“Having deliberately set himself an almost impossible task, has
succeeded beyond belief.”--_Saturday Review._ “Quite the liveliest
even of this spirited series.”--_Observer._
=Orpheus=, or the Music of the Future. By W. J. TURNER, author of
“Music and Life.”
