FOURTH EDITION

_Studies in the Thought World
or Practical Mind Art_

BY HENRY WOOD

Author of “Ideal Suggestion” “God’s Image in Man” “Edward
Burton” “The Political Economy of Natural Law”
etc. Cloth $1.25

Mr. Wood is a seer as well as a thinker. He searches to find the secrets of the spirit, and thereby discover many of the mysteries of life. His pages abound in the sayings of wisdom and truth. They are crowded with compelling suggestions, and rich in inspiring statements. His style is clear, penetrative, brilliant, and impressive, like his thought. He ranks with the foremost writers and thinkers of the time.--_Boston Courier._

We doubt very much if in the whole range of English literature we have ever read anything more fascinating than his chapter on “The Divinity of Nature.” It has all the beauty of Emerson,--another idealist,--and all the sympathy of Thoreau.--_The Minneapolis Tribune._

The series of papers are redolent of intellectual ozone, of mental exhilaration, and great spiritual tonicity. The author makes the somewhat difficult philosophy of the higher life very clear in his able treatment of the subject from a scientific standpoint.--_The Call, Philadelphia._

The result of reading this book is to acknowledge Mr. Wood an original thinker and an idealist, and that he possesses the faculty of presenting these questions which are growing all the time of greater importance to the general thinker, in a way that is graphic and interesting. He has no superior as an essayist.--_Boston Times._

Mr. Wood has the faculty of presenting vital topics in an interesting and very graphic manner, and has here ably treated the higher unfolding of humanity from a scientific standpoint.--_Detroit Free Press._

There is not a page in it that does not contain matter for a fascinating controversy.--_Saturday Evening Gazette, Boston._

Edward Burton

AN IDEALISTIC METAPHYSICAL NOVEL

By HENRY WOOD

_Ninth Edition_

In Cloth 299 pages $1.25 In paper covers 50c

“We have found great profit in the various economic and ethical papers of Henry Wood, and now that his venture in fiction is before us we are predisposed to favorable judgment. It seems to us that ‘Edward Burton’ will be generally regarded as a story of more than ordinary merit. The conventional realistic lines are rejected. But of high thinking in fields of optimistic outlook and of religious meditation, expressed in the idealization of character, there is abundance.”--_The Christian Union_, New York.

“A very powerful story, which holds the reader’s attention from beginning to end. Into a pretty love-idyl the author has woven a vigorous account of the influence exerted by the numerous systems of theology, ethics, and sociology, which in our day excite so much attention.”--_Peterson’s Magazine._

Victor Serenus

A STORY OF THE PAULINE ERA

By HENRY WOOD

Cloth 510 pages $1.50

“The story flows limpidly, style and substance agreeing as water and light agree, with ever-varying reflections of brilliance. It is not a story overburdened with moral and religious didactics; but it does sketch the luminous religious life of the time in a way to project it boldly and attractively. The character of Saulus is portrayed with a pen intensely charged. We recommend the book to Christian readers.”--_N. Y. Independent._

“Is a story that blends art and religion in a wonderfully attractive way, and is rich in romance, psychology, philosophy, and mystery; the author does not grow tiresome, although his book is 500 pages long.”--_Boston Herald._

Mr. Wood possesses the rare art of making an admittedly dry subject, not only instructive, but positively entertaining, and this art is demonstrated in the present volume.--_Boston Advertiser._

Mr. Wood’s task has been accomplished in admirable style. The work is one that breeds reflection. Its perusal broadens the horizon and lifts the thinker into lofty altitudes--altitudes where mind is seen to be the worker, and labor, land, capital, and coin to be but the tools; where altruism is stimulated and the sweetness of charity is realized, and the fact of racial unity is felt, and a glimpse is had, as from Pisgah’s summit, of the final fraternization of humanity.--_Chicago Evening Post._

“The Political Economy of Natural Law” is written in a clear style, and is in all points an admirable, satisfactory, and original treatment of the subject.--_San Francisco Call._

It were well for the nation if more works of like facility of comprehension and dealing with such subjects were disseminated. --_Philadelphia Item._

It would be difficult to imagine a clearer statement of premises and conclusions than is therein contained, and there is no profession nor business to which its teachings do not apply.--_Boston Ideas._

It would be well indeed for the future were this work adopted as a text-book.--_The Occident_ (_Chicago_).

His mental powers are both analytic and synthetic, and it is a genuine pleasure--a mental recreation--to follow him through his reasoning processes.--_Christian Leader_ (_Cincinnati_).

The “Trade Journal” might fill ten of its columns with just such interesting quotations, but it does not intend to. Every reader of this paper should lose no time in possessing himself of a copy of the book.--_Indianapolis Trade Journal._

We wish it might be read by every thoughtful man--laborer and capitalist--in our country.--_Boston Home Journal._

It is a good book for teachers who want to be fairly intelligent on these vital questions.--_Ohio Educational Monthly._
