There are some rattling good descriptions of fights in the book,
notable among them being those between Frank Slavin and Peter Jackson,
Fred Welsh and Willie Ritchie, and the dramatic contests associated
with the name of Carpentier.
NIETZSCHE AND THE IDEALS OF MODERN GERMANY.
By HERBERT LESLIE STEWART, M.A., D.PH., PROFESSOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN
DALHOUSIE UNIVERSITY, HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA; FORMALLY JOHN LOCKE
SCHOLAR IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD; LATE JUNIOR FELLOW IN THE ROYAL
UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND. AUTHOR OF “QUESTIONS OF THE DAY IN PHILOSOPHY
AND PSYCHOLOGY.”
_One Volume. Demy 8vo. Cloth._ =7s. 6d. net.=
This volume is confined to those aspects of Nietzsche’s work which
throw light upon the social policy and ideals of Germany as revealed in
the present war. It is an effort to assist those who wish to correlate
the moral outlook of Germany with one personal influence by which,
beyond doubt, it has been in part directed; and for those who believe
that Nietzsche, properly understood, has been a force making for
cosmopolitan peace, the author sets forth in detail the grounds upon
which he believes the opposite. One key to the enigma of Germany is
to be found in a sinister aberration of thought on ethical questions,
especially on the issues of international conduct. Nietzsche was one
representative of this phase of thought: that he “made the war” would
be a grotesque overstatement; but that he enforced with singular
effectiveness just those doctrines of immoralism which Prussia has put
into execution this book endeavours to show. He is taken, not as the
originator of a policy, but as typical of a mood which has had fearful
consequences for mankind.
MODERN ESSAYS
REPRINTED FROM LEADING ARTICLES IN “THE TIMES.”
With an Introduction by DR. J. W. MACKAIL, F.R.S.L.
_Crown 8vo. Cloth._ =5s. net.=
This volume contains a selection from the charming series of Essays
which have formed such a prominent feature among the Leading Articles
in _The Times_ during the last year or two. They present admirable
examples of modern English style, and deal with themes, round which
the thought of all ages of literature has sparkled, in the spirit of
the twentieth century. Inimitable as are the Essays of Bacon, Addison
or Steele, it cannot be denied that the lapse of time has inevitably
drawn a line between the intellectual atmosphere in which those famous
authors moved, and the current of modern thought. The same problems are
with us to-day, but their appeal to us is made under new conditions;
these Essays respond to an ever-present need for the wisdom of ages,
but arrayed in the guise of 1915.
