“A book on music that we can read not merely once, but twice or
thrice. Mr. Turner has given us some of the finest thinking upon
Beethoven that I have ever met with.”--_Ernest Newman_ in _Sunday
Times_. “A brilliant essay in contemporary philosophy.”--_Outlook._
“The fruit of real knowledge and understanding.”--_New Statesman._
=Terpander=, or Music and the Future. By E. J. DENT, author of
“Mozart’s Operas.”
“In _Orpheus_ Mr. Turner made a brilliant voyage in search of
first principles. Mr. Dent’s book is a skilful review of the
development of music. It is the most succinct and stimulating
essay on music I have found....”--_Musical News._ “Remarkably able
and stimulating.”--_Times Literary Supplement._ “There is hardly
another critic alive who could sum up contemporary tendencies so
neatly.”--_Spectator._

St. Andrew’s.
“An entertaining and instructive pamphlet.”--_Morning Post._

“Passages in it are excellent satire, but on the whole Mr. Mace’s
speculations may be taken as a trustworthy guide ... to modern
scientific thought.”--_Birmingham Post._
=Lucullus=, or the Food of the Future. By OLGA HARTLEY and Mrs. C. F.
LEYEL, authors of ‘The Gentle Art of Cookery.’
“This is a clever and witty little volume in an entertaining
series, and it makes enchanting reading.”--_Times Literary
Supplement._ “Opens with a brilliant picture of modern man, living
in a vacuum-cleaned, steam-heated, credit-furnished suburban
mansion ‘with a wolf in the basement’--the wolf of hunger. This
banquet of epigrams.”--_Spectator._
=Procrustes=, or the Future of English Education. By M. ALDERTON PINK.
“Undoubtedly he makes out a very good case.”--_Daily Herald._
“This interesting addition to the series.”--_Times Educational
Supplement._ “Intends to be challenging and succeeds in being so.
All fit readers will find it stimulating.”--_Northern Echo._
=The Future of Futurism.= By JOHN RODKER.
“Mr. Rodker is up-to-the-minute, and he has accomplished a
considerable feat in writing, on such a vague subject, 92 extremely
interesting pages.”--T. S. Eliot, in _Nation_. “There are a good
many things in this book which are of interest.”--_Times Literary
Supplement._
=Pomona=, or the Future of English. By BASIL DE SÉLINCOURT, author of
‘The English Secret’, etc.
“The future of English is discussed fully and with fascinating
interest.”--_Morning Post._ “Has a refreshing air of the
unexpected. Full of wise thoughts and happy words.”--_Times
Literary Supplement._ “Here is suggestive thought, quite different
from most speculations on the destiny of our language.”--_Journal
of Education._
