=AN INTRODUCTION TO METAPHYSICS=. By HENRI BERGSON. Translated by T. E.
Hulme. Fcap. 8vo, Cloth, price, 2s. 6d. net. The "Introduction to
Metaphysics," although the shortest, is one of the most important of
Bergson's writings. It not only provides the best introduction to his
thought, but is also a book which even those familiar with the rest of his
work will find necessary to read, for in it he develops at greater length
and in greater detail than elsewhere, the exact significance of what he
intends by the word "intuition." Every expositor of Bergson has hitherto
found it necessary to quote "An Introduction to Metaphysics" at
considerable length, yet the book has never before been available in
English.
=AN INTRODUCTION TO BERGSON=. By T. E. HULME. 7s. 6d. Besides giving a
general exposition of the better known parts of Bergson's philosophy, the
author has discussed at some length Bergson's "Theory of Art," which may
prove to many people the most interesting part of his whole philosophy,
although it has so far been written about very little. At the same time
this book is no running commentary on a great number of separate ideas;
the author has endeavoured by subordinating everything to one dominating
conception, to leave in the reader's mind a clearly outlined picture of
Bergson's system. During the last few years the author has been able to
discuss many points of difficulty with M. Bergson himself.
SOCIAL AND POLITICAL SERIES
=FROM THEATRE TO MUSIC-HALL=. By W. R. TITTERTON. Crown 8vo, cloth. 3s.
6d. net. This book is neither a history of the drama nor a critical study
of well-known playwrights. It is an attempt to account for the weakening
of the dramatic sense in modern England, and to explain the enormous
importance of the music-hall, and the desperate necessity of maintaining
it as a means of popular expression. The theories put forward are bold,
and are likely to excite great agreement and great opposition.
=THE DOCTOR AND HIS WORK.= With a Hint of his Destiny and Ideals. By
CHARLES J. WHITBY, M.D. Cantab., Author of "Triumphant Vulgarity," "Makers
of Man," "A Study of Human Initiative," etc. Crown 8vo, cloth. Price 3s.
6d. net. In this book the author has reviewed the existing position of the
doctor and indicated the signs of a new sociological era in which he will
be called upon to accept new and important functions. The profession has
in the past consisted of a mere mob of unorganised units; that of the
future will be a disciplined army of experts co-operating for the good of
the State. "The Doctor and His Work" may be described as a summary of the
modern medical point of view. It appeals not less to the lay than to the
professional reader.
