=The Norwich Mercury.=--"In short, this volume is without a peer in the matter that really illustrates Charles Dickens's life and works.... Mr. and Mrs. Ward have hit the happy mean, so that the book is not a bald statement of 'hard facts,' but is lightened by glimpses of art and nature in her brightest moods wherever occasion served.... It cannot fail to be a favourite half-guinea Christmas or New Year's gift-book." LONDON: CHAPMAN AND HALL, LTD. MR. H. G. WELLS'S TWO GREAT WORKS MANKIND IN THE MAKING _Third Large Edition now ready. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d._ _A FEW PRESS OPINIONS._ "Mr. Wells's 'Mankind in the Making' ... is a book to read and to think about, and one which obviously proceeds from a great deal of honest and stubborn thinking on the writer's part. It both challenges the stupidities of clever people and brings into sharp question the lazy conventions and accepted servilities of modern English life."--_Westminster Gazette._ "No more provocative and fascinating volume has been issued of recent years than this 'Mankind in the Making.' Mr. Wells is a master of the suggestive phrase which suddenly opens long vistas and great issues."--_Speaker._ "'Mankind in the Making' is a courageous and earnest and suggestive attempt to deal with the all-important problem of the future of the race, and as such we hope it will be widely read."--_Onlooker._ "Mr. Wells is one of the few, very few, original thinkers of the present day, and the result is that we have a book ... which stimulates thought more than any work which one has come across in recent years."--_Graphic._ ANTICIPATIONS AN EXPERIMENT IN PROPHECY BY H. G. WELLS AUTHOR OF "THE TIME MACHINE," "WHEN THE SLEEPER WAKES," ETC. _Seventh Edition. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d._ _Popular and Eighth Edition. Cloth, 3s. 6d.; paper covers, 6d._ "'Anticipations' is one of the most remarkable pieces of social prophecy which we have lately read.... In Mr. Wells we have not merely an imaginative writer of truly original power, but a thinker of very considerable calibre.... We cannot hesitate to recommend this book to our readers as one of the most suggestive attempts that have yet been made seriously to grapple with those great problems of the near future which present themselves to every man.... Such vividness of perception and picturesque wealth of detail as render it hard for the most unwilling reader to evade its spell ... a most bracing, strenuous, and interesting attempt to foreshadow the trend of our present activities, which no open-minded person can read without being the better for it."--_Spectator._ LONDON: CHAPMAN AND HALL, LTD.
