This work of Mr. Fiske's may be not unfairly designated the most
important contribution yet made by America to philosophical
literature.--_The Academy_ (London).
DARWINISM, AND OTHER ESSAYS
_Crown 8vo, gilt top, $2.00._
If ever there was a spirit thoroughly invigorated by the "joy of right
understanding," it is that of the author of these pieces.... No less
confident and serene than his acceptance of the utmost logical results
of recent scientific discovery is Mr. Fiske's assurance that the
foundations of spiritual truths, so called, cannot possibly be shaken
thereby.--_The Atlantic Monthly_ (Boston).
THE UNSEEN WORLD
_And Other Essays. Crown 8vo, gilt top, $2.00._
To each study the writer seems to have brought, besides an excellent
quality of discriminating judgment, full and fresh special knowledge,
that enables him to supply much information on the subject, whatever it
may be, that is not to be found in the volume he is noticing.--_Boston
Advertiser._
EXCURSIONS OF AN EVOLUTIONIST
_Crown 8vo, gilt top, $2.00._
Among our thoughtful essayists there are none more brilliant than Mr.
John Fiske. His pure style suits his clear thought. He does not write
unless he has something to say; and when he does write, he shows not
only that he has thoroughly acquainted himself with the subject, but
that he has to a rare degree the art of so massing his matter as to
bring out the true value of the leading points in artistic relief....
The same qualities appear to good advantage in his new volume, which
contains his later essays on his favorite subject of evolution.--_The
Nation_ (New York).
MYTHS AND MYTH-MAKERS
_Old Tales and Superstitions interpreted by Comparative
Mythology. Crown 8vo, gilt top, $2.00._
Mr. Fiske has given us a book which is at once sensible and attractive,
on a subject about which much is written that is crotchety or
tedious.--W. R. S. RALSTON, in _The Athenæum_ (London).
THE DESTINY OF MAN
_Viewed in the Light of His Origin. 16mo, gilt top, $1.00._
One is charmed by the directness and clearness of his style, his simple
and pure English, and his evident knowledge of his subject.... Of one
thing we may be sure: that none are leading us more surely or rapidly to
the full truth than men like the author of this little book, who
reverently study the works of God for the lessons which He would teach
his children.--_Christian Union_ (New York).
THE IDEA OF GOD
_As Affected by Modern Knowledge. 16mo, gilt top, $1.00._
The vigor, the earnestness, the honesty, and the freedom from cant and
subtlety in his writings are exceedingly refreshing. He is a scholar, a
critic, and a thinker of the first order.--_Christian Register_
(Boston).
THROUGH NATURE TO GOD
_16mo, gilt top, $1.00._
CONTENTS: _The Mystery of Evil_; _The Cosmic Roots of Love and
Self-Sacrifice_; _The Everlasting Reality of Religion_.
