The Making of an Englishman

By W. L. GEORGE

Author of "A Bed of Roses," "Until the Day Break," etc.

More clearly and cleverly than most books which attempt to do
nothing else, Mr. George draws in this novel the contrasted
characteristics of English and French. But this is in passing and
a frame, as it were, to a story of people who are undeniably and
indelibly real. Among the crowd of ephemeral novels of the season
it stands out by reason of that quality which is as rare in
novels as in people--a strongly marked individuality.

A Pillar of Sand

By WILLIAM R. CASTLE, Jr.

Author of "The Green Vase"

A novel which in a very clever way not only concerns itself with
the doings of a group of people who are part of Boston society,
but which delineates and holds up for the inspection of all
Boston society. What is Boston society; what kind of people is it
composed of; what are its characteristics; what does it amount to
in this busy age?

The Youngest World

By ROBERT DUNN

Dr. Frederic Taber Cooper, the well-known reviewer for _The
Bookman_, who read the advance sheets of Mr. Dunn's remarkable
story of Alaska, "The Youngest World," says: "Plenty of authors
have given us the physical suffering of the far north: the
dropping away of the outer veneer of civilized man and the
reappearance of the human animal, the brutishness and degradation
brought about by cold and darkness and hunger. Mr. Dunn's book
stands in a different class: there is no mistaking its absolute
first-hand reflection of life--the life of strange, motley hordes
of drifting outcasts and adventurers. But unlike the Jack London
school, he never forgets that man is a little lower than the
angels, as well as a little higher than the beasts; he never
loses sight of the innate greatness of humanity, the greater
spiritual as well as physical heights to which he may aspire....
The book is good, big, significant, coming as it does in a season
when the absolute dearth of vital fiction is painfully apparent."

Women As World Builders

By Floyd Dell

This remarkable, timely book is attracting widespread notice. It
tells what the feminist movement actually is, what the women of
today want and how they are attempting to attain it. Every phase
of woman's work and aspiration is considered with sympathy and
understanding, free from any partisan spirit.

Norman Hapgood, in "Harper's Weekly," says: An extremely good
book. Floyd Dell is one of the few men who seem really to
understand what the feminist movement is. Most books on the
feminist movement are dull. Mr. Dell's is very readable.

An exhilarating book, truly young with the strength and daring of
youth, and as heartening to the women actors in this new, vivid
drama of unknown documents as the applause of many hands in a
darkened theatre.--_Chicago Tribune._

The Meaning of God in Human Experience

By WILLIAM ERNEST HOCKING, Ph.D.

_The profound impression which THE MEANING OF GOD IN HUMAN
EXPERIENCE, by W. E. Hocking, continues to make encourages its
publishers to bring it to the attention of readers of this
journal with the firm conviction that in doing so they are
rendering thoughtful students of religion and life no slight
service._

"These words also convey something of the sustained and
convincing eloquence of thought--not enthusiastic, but simply
vast and strong and careless, because sure."

--J. W. Scott in The Hibbert Journal.

"A vital, logical presentation of the human conception and
interpretation of God in present and past experience and of the
foundations of religion. The author discusses with originality of
thought the important trends of philosophy, pragmatic, realistic,
idealistic and mystical, now touching religion, yet his
conclusions are definite and constructive. Will interest students
of philosophy and religion. Excellent index."

--American Library Association Booklist.

"Every page bears evidence of years of patient study and thought,
and every chapter brings one face to face with some of the great
problems of psychology, philosophy or theology.... The student of
the psychology of religion will find much of value in these
sections. But the book is meant not for the psychologist chiefly,
but for the human being, in a large sense, who is reflecting
seriously over the problems of nature and destiny."

--The Nation.

The COLOUR of the EAST

By ELIZABETH WASHBURN

_Here is the essence of the East pictured with all the instinct
of a painter--pulsing colour, a sense of vivid life, elimination
of non-essential detail. To quote from the book_:

"There are colours everywhere and always--in the dawns and
sunsets, in the white moonlights and in the seas that drink in
all the colour of the swimming skies. All day the native life
pads along the roads without a sound. It meets, mixes in groups
and separates--splashes of red in turbans, flowing muslins,
scarfs of green and saffron and burnished naked skins."

those rare and delicious discoveries, to be lingered over and
reverted to, again and again, with ever new and infinite
appreciation."

It is the story of a woman over 30 who is having her first taste
of travel and pleasure.

NIETZSCHE _and other_ Exponents of Individualism

_by_ PAUL CARUS

Illustrated. Cloth, $1.25

"Of books on Nietzsche, we doubt whether any will be found more
simple in its analysis and interpretation of the writings of 'The
mad philosopher' than the present work."--_Pittsburgh Journal._

"A two-fold purpose is served by this book--a study of
philosophical anarchism and an interpretation of the theories of
Nietzsche."--_Brooklyn Eagle._

"A brilliant refutation of the mad philosopher's
doctrine."--_Toronto Globe._

"This exposition of Nietzsche's life and philosophy is probably
both truthful and fair and as nearly just as any that can be
made."--_Chicago Daily News._

"The book is so incisive and clear that it may be taken as an
introduction to the study of philosophy."--_Trenton Times._

"Nietzsche, to the average man, has been little more than a
name--a sort of synonym for turbulence--and violence of a nature
not clearly understood. To such, this book will be welcome. It
gives enough of both sides of the question of individualism to
enable the reader to judge intelligently the principle of the
'Overman'."--_Greensboro Daily News._

NIETZSCHE

"The appearance of a philosopher like Nietzsche is a symptom of
the times. He is one representative among several others of an
anti-scientific tendency. The author here characterizes him as a
poet rather than a thinker, as a leader and an exponent of
certain unruly and immature minds. Though his philosophy is
severely criticised, though it is weighed and found wanting, his
personality is described not without sympathy and with an
appreciation of his genius. His predecessor, Max Stirner, and
other kindred spirits less known than Nietzsche are also
introduced, and if the reader adopts the author's views he will
condemn the tendencies and thoughts of these erratic philosophers
but at the same time appreciate their aspirations and love them
in their very errors. The fundamental error of them all is an
extreme individualism which regards every single person as an
absolute autonomous sovereign being, while a consideration of the
origin of personality proves them to have originated within and
under the influence of the social surroundings of communities
from which they cannot be separated and of which they are and
will forever remain parts. In this relation of the individual to
society lie the roots of ethics. The individual cannot cut
himself loose from his social surroundings without doing harm to
himself; and the rules which this interrelation imposes upon the
several members of society constitute an obligation which we call
duty."
