=Balbus=, or the Future of Architecture. By CHRISTIAN BARMAN,
editor of ‘The Architect’s Journal’.
“A really brilliant addition to this already distinguished
series. The reading of _Balbus_ will give much data for
intelligent prophecy, and incidentally, an hour or so of excellent
entertainment.”--_Spectator._ “Most readable and reasonable. We can
recommend it warmly.”--_New Statesman._ “This intriguing little
book.”--_Connoisseur._
_JUST PUBLISHED_
=Apella=, or the Future of the Jews. By A QUARTERLY REVIEWER.
“Cogent, because of brevity and a magnificent prose style, this
book wins our quiet praise. It is a fine pamphlet, adding to the
value of the series, and should not be missed.”--_Spectator._ “A
notable addition to this excellent series. His arguments are a
provocation to fruitful thinking.”--_Morning Post._
=The Dance of Çiva=, or Life’s Unity and Rhythm. By COLLUM.
“It has substance and thought in it. The author is very much alive
and responsive to the movements of to-day which seek to unite the
best thought of East and West, and discusses Mussolini and Jagadis
Bose with perspicacity.”--_Spectator._
=Lars Porsena=, or the Future of Swearing and Improper Language. By
ROBERT GRAVES.
“An amusing little book.”--_Daily Mirror._ “It is to this subject
[of swearing] that Mr. Graves brings much erudition and not a
little irony.”--_John O’London’s Weekly._ “Not for squeamish
readers.”--_Spectator._ “Too outspoken. The writer sails very near
the wind, but all the same has some sound constructive things to
say.”--_Manchester Dispatch._
=Socrates=, or the Emancipation of Mankind. By H. F. CARLILL.
Sets out the new view of the nature of man, to which the trend of
modern psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary theory has led,
shows the important consequences to human behaviour and efficiency
which are bound to follow, and maintains that man is at last
conscious of his power to control his biological inheritance.
=Delphos=, or the Future of International Language. By E. SYLVIA
PANKHURST.
An inquiry into the possibility of a medium of inter-communication,
auxiliary to the mother tongues. A survey of past attempts from
the sixteenth century to the present day. A prophecy of the coming
inter-language, its form, its social and cultural utility, and its
influence on world peace.
=Gallio=, or the Tyranny of Science. By J. W. N. SULLIVAN, author
of “A History of Mathematics.”
Is the scientific universe the real universe? What is the character
of the universe revealed by modern science? Are values inherent in
reality? What is the function of the arts? In addition to answering
these questions, the author attacks the notion that science is
materialistic.
=Apollonius=, or the Future of Psychical Research. By E. N.
BENNETT, author of “Problems of Village Life,” etc.
