"God — An Enquiry and a Solution"

By Paul Carus, Editor of The Open Court and The Monist
Boards, Cloth Back . Price $1.00 net (4s. 6d. net)

THE God-conception here presented is that of the God of
Science, not of nescience. The author combats agnosti-
cism and the God here preached is not that unknowable
being whose existence can not be proved and whose nature is a
logical impossibility. The God of science is that principle which
constitutes the cosmic order of natural law, and which in the
religious development of mankind is discovered as the authority
of conduct. He is a God whose existence even the atheist can
not deny.

One reader who looks upon religion as a huge aberration of
the human mind said to the author: "People will say that the
book is written by an atheist," and the author replied, "I would
make no objection if they only modify the statement by saying
'written by an atheist who loves God.' '

The author claims that his God is the only true God, and
that other God-conceptions, especially the traditional views of the
churches are only surrogates, which did service so long as the
truth was not yet forthcoming.

The author calls this new and scientific doctrine of God
"theonomy" which bears the same relation to theology as does
astronomy to astrology.

person struggling with intellectual doubt and uncertainty should
get a copy. It is illuminating. — Fellowship.

Rev. James Hastings, editor of The Expository Times, Lon-
don, says:

"At the office of THE OPEN COURT in Chicago Dr. Paul
Carus, the indefatigable and the brave, has published five volumes
together. Five volumes of most unmistakably religious interest,
and each vying with the other in independence. This is the first
article in the creed of Dr. Carus — independence. Tradition is
nothing, and the idea which so irresistibly sent Newman into the
Roman Church, the idea that *the whole world' cannot be wrong,
is pure heresy to Dr. Paul Carus and to those who write for him.
The 'whole world' is more likely to be wrong than not. The
'whole world' almost always has been wrong. But, right or
wrong, the 'whole world' is nothing to Dr. Carus. Let every
man be fully persuaded in his own mind." — Expository Times.

The Foundations of Mathematics

A Contribution to the Philosophy of Geometry

By Paul Carus
Cloth, Gilt Top 75 cents net (3s. 6d. net)

"THE OPEN COURT COMPANY is best known for its books

upon religion, philosophy, and Oriental subjects. As a notable
side specialty, however, it has published a remarkable list of
works upon mathematics. These are not school-books in the
usual sense of the word, but works in which some special phase
or problem of mathematical science is presented for reading by
the general public and for the delight of those who have a mathe-
matical penchant. A full dozen of such books have been printed
so far, among them such as T. Sundara Row's "Geometric Ex-
ercises in Paper-Folding," Schubert's "Mathematical Essays and
Recreations," and White's "Scrap-Book of Elementary Mathe-
matics, Notes, Recreations, Essays." The Company has also
issued two series of finely executed portraits of mathematicians,

twenty in all, in two portfolios. These portraits are admirably
adapted to framing." — Frederic!? Starr in Unity, University of
Chicago.

THE enormous significance of the formal sciences makes it
desirable that any one who attempts to philosophize should
understand the nature of mathematics. Plato was con-
vinced that the knowledge of the science of form was indis-
pensable and he wrote over his school the injunction that no
one not versed in geometry should enter.

The need of a philosophical basis of mathematics appears
in the search for it which showed itself in the doubts which beset
the axiom of parallels. In the present book the author discusses
first the history of the notion of axioms and especially the axiom
of parallels; the attempts at solving the problems by Gauss, Rie-
mann, Lobatschevsky, Bolyai, Grassmann and others; and then
enters into a discussion of the philosophical basis of mathematics,
the problems of the a priori, of anyness, of space, the uniqueness
of pure space, mathematical and physiological space, etc. He
shows that mathematics does not start from nothing but it only
excludes particularity and retains the logical consistency as well
as the idea of pure activity. It is shown how in building up pure
space the idea of a straight line necessarily originates, and why
it is indispensable.

The nature and the significance of the a priori are set forth so
as to dispel all mysticism that sometimes adheres to the idea, and
the new term "anyness" contributes not a little to throw light on
the nature of mathematical reasoning.

Among other important topics discussed in this book we will
mention the author's method of explaining the nature of straight
lines, the plane, and the right angle as "even boundaries." His
construction of tridimensional space is created from what he calls
"the scope of motion in infinite directions." While touching upon
the subject of imaginary spaces, the conception of a four-dimen-
sional space is made thinkable with the help of three mirrors
placed at right angles.

The chapters on the Superreal, Discrete Units, the Con-
tinuum, Infinitude, and the Epilogue proclaiming the God of
Mathematics will be of interest to any thoughtful reader.

# # #

"It will be worth the while of any thinking man to read with
some painstaking Dr. Paul Cams' "The Foundations of Mathe-
matics." Most of us think of figures as something that cannot
be at fault; "figures won't lie even though liars may figure," being
one way of showing the faith reposed in them. But Dr. Carus
takes apart the geometry of Euclid and has a most enjoyable
time with parallel lines and with the conception that the angles
of a triangle are always equal to two right angles. . . . Dr.
Carus has in addition a demonstration of the possibilities of space
of four dimensions which comes as near to explaining the humanly
inexplicable as anything can in words and diagrams. He shows
that there are more kinds of geometry than Euclid dreamed and
names the essentials of several. Take it all in all, there has been
no small book recently published more provocative of thought
along certain lines than this." — Chicago Daily News.

# # #

"Dr. Carus discusses these matters and the history of Mathe-
maticians who have developed geometry, briefly but interestingly,
showing that in spite of the innovations of modern metageometri-
cians, Euclid's claim to classicism remains unshaken." — Army

and Navy Journal.

# # #

"This work is a very notable and valuable addition to the
list of THE OPEN COURT mathematical publications. The
author, who is not a mathematician, but a philosopher, has given
a very clear exposition of a subject about which there is general
misunderstanding and contention. Dr. Carus is a lucid writer,
and his discussion of the "Parallel Theorem," the "Fourth
Dimension" and other equally interesting subjects is put in such a
non-technical form as to be easily understood by the non-mathe-
matical reader. In his Epilogue, Dr. Carus brings out strongly
the analogy between mathematics and religion, the ultimate and

readable book for all classes of readers." — The American Mathe-
matical Monthly.

"Those who are attracted by such problems as are given in
Andrews' "Magic Squares and Cubes," to which we lately re-
ferred, soon find themselves considering the mysteries of causes.
Such students will find of special interest the little book just issued
on "The Foundations of Mathematics," by Dr. Paul Cams,
editor of THE OPEN COURT, who contributed several chapters
in the volume of Magic Squares. In a clear and popular way
Dr. Carus reviews the history of geometry, shows how the basis
of mathematics is philosophy and considers different geometrical
systems and metaphysical geometry, dealing with such puzzles as
space of four dimensions and the infinitude of space and time."-
E. R. Chadbourn in The Weekly Inter Ocean and Farmer.

"For those who are interested in mathematics — that is in the
philosophy of mathematics — this book will come as a delight.
It is written in delightfully clear and understandable manner so
that even those who are not mathematicians will read with pleas-
ure."— Business Philosopher.

"The Bride of Christ— A Study in Christian Legend Lore"

By Paul Carus
Boards, Cloth Back Price 75 cents net (3s. 6d. net)

The legend of St. Catharine, the bride of Christ, though once
very popular, is almost forgotten now. The puritan spirit, so
powerful among Protestants, which wants religion pure and simple
without romance and sometimes even without the adornment of
art, has affected even the Roman Catholics, and yet the legend
is full of charm and is apt to fascinate even the unbeliever.

Though the legend is neglected now, the idea of a bride of
Christ is still alive even in Protestant hymns, where following the
precedent of St. Paul and the traditions of the mystics, the bride
represents either the Church or the soul.

"The Bride of Christ — A Study in Christian Legend Lore"

The story of the bride of Christ possesses an additional in-
terest to the student of religion who is able to trace its history and
compare it with its pagan prototypes. This is done in the present
book and it is done with an appreciation of the religious sentiment
that has produced the legend and inspired innumerable artists to
give a worthy presentation of this conception of ideal womanhood.

"Paralipomena— Remains of Gospels and Sayings of Christ"

By Bernhard Pick
Boards, Cloth Back Price 75 cents net (3s. 6d. net)

"This most fascinating anthology of Logia ... a little
book of extraordinary interest, and one which is evidently the
fruit of extraordinary labor. In it he has collected more of the
extra canonical "Sayings" than have ever before been brought
together in English. . . . The fragments here brought to-
gether are in many cases so intrinsically true and beautiful as to
be well worth our study, though their authenticity be at best
hypothetical. " — London Spectator.

# # #

Prof. Nestle of Maulbrown writes: "I shall place your book
at the side of Resch to have it easily at hand. Please accept my
heartiest thanks that you mention contributions of mine (in the
Bibliography) which I myself would have difficulty to refer to."

# # #

Alfred Resch, the famous author of Agrapha, writes: "Your
Paralipomena was a great joy to me. With great interest have
I examined the texts of your excellent book, which are very com-
plete, and I have incorporated your book into my department of
Agrapha. Many good acquaintances have I found in your col-
lection, and was reminded of my former lucubrations."

# # #

"All students of the beginnings of Christianity will be grateful
to Dr. Pick for this collection of materials from other sources
than the New Testament. He has gathered more non-canonical
sayings than any of his predecessors in this field of publication
and furnishes an admirably complete bibliography." — Unity.

"Paralipomena — Remains of Gospels and Sayings of Christ"

"No student of the Bible, whatever his attitude, should over-
look this study help," — Frederick Starr in Unity.

"All students of the New Testament and even those who
cannot claim to make it a study will be interested in this volume
by Dr. Pick."— Records of the Past.

"The present collection is in many respects far more complete
than all former ones, especially on account of the bibliography
which fills more than 25 pages. The work is evidently intended
to acquaint larger circles with the results of the investigation in
the Agrapha literature. Very few Greek words are given, but
the translation of the fragments and sayings is accompanied by
explanatory remarks. The sources from which the fifty-three
scattered sayings are taken, are given in alphabetical order, begin-
ning with Abgar's epistle and ending with the life of Schnudi.
The appendix contains the Apocalypse of Peter, the bibliography
and index. The bibliography makes the book especially valuable
to scholars." — Eb. Nestle in Theologisches Liter aturblatt, Leip-
zig.

"Is a valuable addition to the pastor's library of Christian
sources." — Lutheran Observer.

"With pleasure I examined your book. By it you no doubt
rendered an important service to the English readers." — Prof. Dr.
E. Preuschen.

by one who has mastered the critical and historical method of
reading the sources of our knowledge. Both as regards substance
and form the presentation is altogether admirable; and, if an
inquirer should seek a brief, trustworthy, tactful, and balanced
statement of the results of critical study, the reviewer would in
the first instance recommend this little book. It ought to be
absorbed into the mind of every teacher in our Sunday schools."

— The Christian Register.

Prof. Baumgarten, of Kiel, said of it, on its first appearance :
"This work is distinguished by a complete openness of criticism
and great simplicity of attitude. The sections dealing with Jesus'
miracles, the resurrection, and Jesus' gospel of the Kingdom are
models for the popularization of scientific research."

"We shall look long before we find a nobler and juster appre-
ciation of the essence of what Jesus taught than we may read
here. . . . May this excellent book have a wide reading,
and so contribute to a juster and saner estimate of a supremely
great man." —Henry Preserved Smith in Unity.

# * *

"To those who have the mind to rise above the traditional to
the real essence of the gospel the book will appeal. It is clear
and simple, and at the same time profound. It is brief and yet
contains enough to make plain the author's purpose. In fact it
has a great advantage over the larger treatises, in that it will be
certainly read and will lend inspiration to its readers." — Spring-
field Republican.

# # #

"If this is the kind of work that German pastors are doing,
their congregations are to be congratulated. . . . The lec-
tures are exceedingly simple and entirely uncontroversial. Indeed,
they are examples of the true spirit for such work. We have
never met within the same limits any description of the teachings
of Jesus as illuminating, comprehensive and satisfying as is the
lecture on that subject, with which the book closes." — The Uni-
versalist Leader.

"He tells us he was once an orthodox student of divinity.
Doubts came and he sought the truth, and in this book he tells
what is the life of freedom and how he reached it. Jesus is the
child of his age; he is now a bygone leader; the imagination of
his time made him perfect and complete; the real Jesus is not the
one in the gospels; crime is a weakness. There are many inter-
esting things in this volume, showing the struggles of a human
soul." — The United Brethren Review.

"Bel, the Christ of Ancient Times"

By Hugo Radau
Boards, Cloth Back Price 75 cents net (3s. 6d. net)

"Dr. Hugo Radau has just published a very interesting little
book on Bel, the Christ of Ancient Times, which ought to attract
others besides Assyriologists. The first part of it is intended for
the Assyriologist only; the second part, however, appeals to the
theologian and the general public. In it he seeks to show that
the primitive Babylonian regarded the world as the product of a
marriage between heaven and earth, considered as husband and
wife, which made them 'one flesh/ so that either of the two was
at once 'heaven and earth* or 'husband and wife.* The wed-
ding festival took place at the beginning of spring, and typified
a resurrection of nature, the New Year's festival being in its
origin a festival of rising from the dead. This is an important
fact, and I think Dr. Radau has gone far to prove it ...
Dr. Radau's division of the history of Babylonian religion, and
therewith of Babylonia itself, into three periods — Sumerian,
Canaanite, and Assyrian — is very suggestive. I would only add
to it a * Baby Ionian' epoch which intervened between the Sumerian
and the Canaanite; and I hope that the early religious texts from
the temple library of Nippur which he has been engaged in copy-
ing will soon be made public." — A. H. Sayce in Expository

Times.

# # #

"The scholarship of the author, however, is unquestioned,
and is abundantly in evidence in the book before us." — Henry
Preserved Smith in Unity.

"The whole opusculum is a noteworthy contribution to the
subject of Babylonian religious beliefs, and may be regarded as a
strong support of the theory of revelation based on man's spiritual
instinct. Indeed, it is not improbable that the arguments which
the Rev. Hugo Radau puts forth will be considered by many as
useful for the support of the faith of the Christian nations of the
world in general."-— T. G. Pinches in Journal of the Royal
Asiatic Society, January, 1909.

The Fragments of Empedocles

Translated into English verse by Wm. Ellery Leonard, Ph. D.
Author of " Sonnets and Poems" and "Byronism in America''

THE lover of genuine verse will rejoice in a work of this kind.
The pleasure and surprise of an old idea, freshly and vig-
orously put, provides intellectual delight.
Mr. Leonard has rendered a fine translation which is scholarly,
musical and poetic. It is not alone these qualities which commend
the book to an appreciative reader, it is rather the strong pulse of
truth made clear in every thought of the old Mediterranean Greek
who lived a contemporary of the great Athenians about Pericles.
He was not only a statesman and philosopher, but a poet, a won-
derful personality, an egotistic melancholy, eloquent soul.

OF the many works imputed to Empedocles by antiquity, pre-
sumably only two are genuine, the poems "On Nature"
and the "Purifications." Of these we possess only frag-
ments. These were imperfectly collected late in the Renaissance,
first by the great German Xylander who translated them into Latin,
In 1575, Stephanus published his "Empedocles Fragmenta," but
not until the 1 9th century, did they get the attention they deserved.

"What must be said, may well be said twice over."

"More will I tell thee too; there is no birth
Of all things mortal, nor end in ruinous death;
But mingling only and interchange of mixed
There is, and birth is but its name with men. "

— Empedocles.

There are several prose translations in Latin, rather loose,
and this present work by Mr. Leonard is, so far as is known, the
only translation into English verse.

A conscientious attempt on the part of a lover of literature
and philosophy to present the Fragments of Empedocles in English
blank verse that shall bring out their poetry no less than their
meaning; accompanied by the Greek text of Diels, notes interpreting
the ideas of each fragment, and an essay on the author as man,
philosopher and poet.

"The Scope and Content of the Science of Anthropology"

By Juul Dieserud

r"T1HIS is a valuable reference book for libraries and serious
students.

"The Science of Anthropology," according to Topinard,
"is that branch of natural history which treats of man, and the races
of men." Mr. Dieserud starts his valuable book with an anthro-
pology which is the science of the human race as a whole, and
divides it into

1 I ) The science of what man has in common with animals; and,

(2) The science of what man has that animals have not.

Mr. Dieserud gives the ripest results of a labor of years, as a
constructive practical classifier of anthropological literature, first in
Chicago and now in the Library of Congress, Washington, D. C.

The book contains three parts besides the Appendix and
Index to bibliography.

Part I. Treats of the Scope and Content of Anthropology.

Part II. The Classification itself, in about 1 000 subdivisions.

Part III. Contains a chronological bibliography of some 230
works chiefly used. The titles in the Bibliography are each fol-
lowed by an extensive extract or synopsis showing the point of view
in the work. This feature alone as a time-saving aid to students,
is invaluable.

Mr. Dieserud's system of classification is mature, intelligent,
clear and practical. He gives just that survey of the various uses
of terms which is needed to orient the classifier, and it is useful in
the highest degree to any one who deals with any system of
classification.

Any study of racial development which aims at practical
results, calls for a knowledge of just such facts as are stated by
Mr. Dieserud in a reasonable, clear and comprehensive style. He
makes no pretension to finality or even "workableness."

A private endowment of two million dollars was made last
year for the sole purpose of studying the racial elements which are
combining in the present American type of nationality.

Whether or not the seething human cauldron in America
will ever crystallize a typical form out of the various races and
nationalities pouring into it, from every land on the globe, is a ques-
tion which must appeal to every student of human forces.

THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING
COMPANY was founded in 1887 by Mr.
E. C. HEGELER, of La Salle, 111., for the purpose
of establishing ethics and religion upon a scientific
basis. It has formulated its aims differently at
different times, but has always adhered to the same
ideal of working out a religious reformation through
the light that science affords. Without animosity
to any of the established creeds of the world it
stands for conservative progress based upon the
most radical thought and fearless investigation. It
holds that the established churches have their mis-
sions to perform, each in its way, but that it is highly
desirable to raise their intellectual level to a higher
plane and let the matured results of science enter
into the fabric of our religious convictions. For
the realization of this purpose THE OPEN COURT
PUBLISHING COMPANY publishes two periodicals,
The Monist, a quarterly magazine devoted to the

philosophy of science, and The Open Court, an illus-
trated monthly, devoted to the science of religion,
the religion of science and the extension of the
Religious Parliament idea.

In addition, THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING
COMPANY publishes books that directly or indirectly
would advance its aims — books on Philosophy,
which in contrast to the old metaphysicism lay the
foundation of a philosophy of science ; books on
Mathematics and other lines of thought, indispen-^
sable for a rational and scientific world-conception ;
books "that have a bearing on the doctrine of Evo-
lution ; and books on the History of Religion, es-
pecially the development of Christianity, including
Higher Criticism; and books on Comparative Re-
ligion, on Psychology, and on Ethics.

THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING COMPANY
publishes the works of the foremost men of science

ANSELM OF CANTERBURY.

ST. ANSELM (1033-1109), Archbishop of Canterbury, has given
the final and most classical shape to the doctrines of Christianity.
His works did not become antiquated by the Reformation, for all
the great reformers, Luther not less than Calvin, stand here on the
same ground with the Roman Catholic Church. St. Anselm with
rare penetration, keen logical acuteness and vigorous pozver of
expression has given a definite shape to the philosophy, of Christen-
dom, which is surprisingly modern even from a rationalist point of
view. Whatever changes may arise in our interpretation of Church
Christianity, no one will understand the historic growth of the
Christian faith unless he has become acquainted with it through St.
Anselm. He is the source of all later expositions of Christianity, its
philosophy as well as its apologetics.

St. Anselm: Proslogium; Monologium; On Behalf of
the Fool by Gaunilon, and Cur Deus Homo.

Translated from the Latin by SIDNEY NORTON DEANE, B. A.
Pages xxxv+288. Cloth, $1.00 net. (5s. net.)

"A reprint of the translation made almost fifty years ago, is not only a
just recognition of work well done by Sidney Norton Deane, but it opens
to the general reader not familiar with Latin, or to whom the writings of
the great Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury are not accessible, an oppor-
tunity of delving in a very rich mine." — Dominicana.

"The rendering of Mr. Sidney Norton Deane is scholarly, fluent, clear and
elegant. It will make accessible to many for the first time the writings
of the great English Primate, who, according to Weber, is the first really
speculative thinker after Scotus."— Scotsman (Daily), Edinburgh.

"This work is valuable because it makes accessible the best thoughts of one
of the world's great thinkers. Many may own and read this little book
who would never have access to A^nselm's Latin works."

ARISTOTLE.

This most famous of Plato's disciples and tutor of Alexander the
Great, founded at Athens a philosophical school which dealt more
particularly with what we would now call positive science, in dis-
tinction from the practical school of Isocrates and the speculative
school of Xenocrates, the successor of Plato. Classical writers
refer to dialectic writings of Aristotle which were celebrated for
their literary grace, but all that is now available can be but little
more than rough notes fo^ lectures, as this is the only way that
their inequalities and abruptnesses of style can be accounted for.
In spite of this, however, they are of paramount importance in the
development of philosophy and science. The first of the fourteen
books of the Metaphysics forms a history of Greek philosophy up to
Aristotle's time, and is the most valuable source for our present
day knowledge of pre- Aristotelian thought.

Aristotle on His Predecessors.

Being the first book of his metaphysics. Translated from the
text of CHRIST, with introduction and notes. By A. E. TAYLOR,
M. A., Fellow of Merton College, Oxford ; Frothingham
Professor of Philosophy in McGill University, Montreal. Pages
160. Cloth, 75 cents net (3s. 6d. net).

The present translation has been made from the latest and most
critical Greek text available, the second edition of W. CHRIST,
and pains have been taken not only to reproduce it in readable
English, but also to indicate the exact way in which the trans-
lator understands every word and clause of the Greek. He
has further noted all the important divergencies between the
readings of CHRIST'S text and the editions of ZELLAR and
BONITZ, the two chief modern German exponents of Aristo-
telianism.

Not the least advantage of the present translation is the incor-
poration of the translator's own work and thought. He has
done his best, within the limited space he has allowed himself
for explanations, to provide the student with ample means of
judging for himself in the light of the most recent researches
in Greek philosophical literature, the value of Aristotle's account
of previous thought as a piece of historical criticism.

"Just as I use your Hume and your Kant's Prolegomena in class work, I
hope to be able to introduce Aristotle and His Predecessors. . . . It is
done with Professor Taylor's well-known and admirable skill."

— R. M. Wcnley, University of Michigan.

"The version is concise, clear and scholarly, and the book cannot but be
found interesting and serviceable by students, whether of Greek or philos-
ophy, who are engaged upon this important text." — The Scotsman.

EDGAR A. ASHCROFT.

MR. ASHCROFT, a native of England and a man of great earnest-
ness and boldness, treats the religious problem with frankness and
enthusiasm. Though very critical in religious matters and a follower
of Ernst Haeckel, he is anxious to have the religious and sentimental
desires of mankind satisfied. He wants guidance in life and tenable
ideas based on truth, but he has found the established religions
lacking in scientific truth, and philosophical and scientific reformers
not sufficiently appreciative of the needs of man's soul His book,
The World's Desires, which bears the secondary title "The Results
of Monism," is dedicated to Professor Ernst Haeckel, who accepted
it with "thanks for your excellent exposition of our Monism, and
mainly for the great honor of my personal dedication. I hope your
book will very much contribute to the understanding and distribution
of the true monistic philosophy and the realistic religion connected
with it. I vvish sincerely that it may soon reach a very wide circle
of intelligent readers."

An Elementary Treatise on a Realistic Religion and Philosophy
of Human Life. By EDGAR A. ASHCROFT. Pages, xii, 440.
Cloth, gilt top, $1.00 net.*

This book is a careful and reverential study of human life and
philosophy, as viewed from a monistic standpoint. A strictly
logical and scientific exposition, indicating a midway course
between irrational fanaticism and unphilosophical materialism.

"An attempt to popularize the cause of Monistic Religion."

—Pall Mall Gazette.

"Mr. Ashcroft writes with evident literary gift and sense of reverence."

—The Outlook.

"The general reader who wishes to understand the philosophy of Professor
Haeckel and his school, could not easily find a better guide .than Mr. Ash-
croft. . . . Writes pleasantly and lucidly and eschews, as far as possible,
the jargon of technicalities." — Publisher and Bookseller.

"A system of scientific realism, based upon the conscientious observations
by the human senses of the complicated facts of the universe, as interpreted
by the nerve organisms." — The Glasgow Herald.

"Instinct and persuasive earnestness, which is all the more winning, because
it comes as a climax to a careful scientific study. ... A help in the right
direction. . . . His language is dignified and clear. . . . We cordially
praise its sincere and generous tone. . . . His new philosophy has joy-
ousness as well as reasonableness." — Literary Guide.

"Mr. Ashcroft is very much in earnest and his book will be read with
pleasure by thousands sympathizing with his desire to solve the riddle of
the painful earth." — The Daily Mail, London.

GEORGE BERKELEY (1685-1753).

GEORGE BERKELEY, Bishop of Cloyne, was born in Ireland in
1684, and died in Oxford in 1753. In the history of philosophy he
stands for subjective idealism carried to its ultimate conclusion,
which regards material objects as phenomena, and yet his views are
closely allied to the empiricism of Locke. He may be ranked with
Leibnitz, Hume and even Kant as one of the leading formulators
of modern thought.

ALFRED BINET, D. S.

PROFESSOR ALFRED BINET is one of France's great inves-
tigators in the field of experimental or physiological psychology, a
Doctor of Science, Laureate of the Institute and Director of the
Laboratory of Physiological Psychology in the Sorbonne. He is
well known to psychologists through Lannee psychologique, of
which he has been the editor for a dozen years or more and which
represents the best of contemporary thought along this line. He
knows well how to bring out the interesting points of psychical
problems and in his own books has devoted himself with special
preference to investigations of the mysterious realms of micro-
organisms and of the subconscious life in man. His views were op-
posed to those of Professor Romanes who, however, in combating
his position fully recognises the significance of Binet as a leading
scientist.

"A careful compilation of the singular views of the famous mythical dog
that is guardian of the realms of the dead, as these views have been expressed

is certainly a curiosity, but at the same time much more than this. It is the
outworking of an idea that is found securely lodged in .the literature of many
nations." — Journal of Education, Boston.

"In his interesting and suggestive little essay, Professor Bloomfield explains
the two heads which Cerberus so frequently has in Greek vase-paintings, and
accounts step by step for the transition frorrk the sun and moon as the gates
of heaven, to Cerberus, the guardian of the doors of hell." — Academy, London.

THE LAKE OF FIRE (Book of the Dead, I, 183).

The Book of the Dead (so called by Egyptologists because
its several chapters are found in coffins), is really a collection
of protective hymns written for the purpose of assuring the
safe resurrection of the deceased.

"It represents the psychology, the ethics, and the problem of immortality in
the forms which they assumed in the Nile Valley from six thousand to ten
thousand years ago." — The Outlook.

"Everything, it will be seen, has been done to present to the English reader
the Egyptian funeral texts in a complete and thoroughly intelligible form.''

— Presbyterian and Reformed Review.

"It is certainly a very laudable undertaking to diffuse knowledge of the ancient
Orient by publications of this character, especially when they are admirable
for handiness, neatness and (last, not least !) cheapness. The merit of scien-
tific work does not become greater by hiding it in an elephant folio cost-
ing $50." — Max Miiller in The Independent.

In three volumes: The Rosetta Stone, Vols. I and II; The

The work contains everything that is connected with the history
of the stone, publishes a facsimile of the text, translations of
the hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek versions in Latin, French
and English ; it contains the history of the decipherment and
adds also the texts and translations of some kindred docu-
ments, all of which have contributed their share to the expla-
nation of the ancient Egyptian inscriptions, language and litera-
ture. The hieroglyphic text of the Rosetta Stone is given
(with additions from the Stele of Damanhur) in hieroglyphic
type, together with interlinear transliteration and translation,
and a running translation.

'The standard work on the subject of Egyptian eschatology." — London Times.

"The conception of the rewards and punishments of the dead in the next
world as given in these two books are also well worth the attention of the
anthropologist." — Nature.

"The first volume of these contains the complete hieroglyphic text of the
Book Am-Tuat, with translations and reproductions of all the illustrations;
also chapters dealing with the origin and contents of the Books of the
Other World. . . . For a period of 2,000 years in the history of Egypt,
the Books of the Other World consisted of text only, but about B. C. 2500
some pictorial representations appeared, and before the close of the XIX
Dynasty, all the principal books relating to Tuat were profusely illustrated.
. . . The Egyptians had no belief in purgatory. In all the Books of
the Other World we find pits of fire, abysses of darkness, murderous knives,
streams of boiling water, foul stenches, fiery serpents, hideous animal-headed
monsters and creatures, and cruel death-dealing beings of various shapes,
similar to those with which we are familiar in early Christian and mediaeval
literature, and it is tolerably certain that modern nations are indebted to
Egypt for many of their conceptions of hell." — Records of the Past.

Mythology.

By E. A. WALLIS BUDGE. With 98 plates and 131 specially
prepared illustrations in the text. 2 Vols. Pp. 548, 440. Price,
$20.00 net.*

A Description of the Egyptian Pantheon based upon original
research ; methodical, thorough, and up-to-date in every respect.
It is unique, and the probability is that the work will soon be-
come rare.

The original edition consisted of 1500 copies, but a disastrous
fire in the bindery destroyed 500 of them, thus limiting the
edition to 1000 copies. As the color plates were printed at
great cost by lithographic process, and the drawings on the
stones immediately after destroyed, there is scarcely any proba-
bility of replacing the lost copies by a new edition.
The author discusses the worship of spirits, demons, gods and
other supernatural beings in Egypt from the Predynastic period
to the time of the introduction of Christianity into the country.
Full use has been made of the results of recent investigations
and discoveries, whereby it has been found possible to elucidate
a large number of fundamental facts connected with the various
stages of religious thought in ancient Egypt, and to assign to
them their true position chronologically. The ancient Libyan
cult of the man-god Osiris, with its doctrines of resurrection
and immortality, is described at length, and the solar cults, i. e.,
those of Ra, Amen, Aten, etc., are fully treated ; an interesting
feature of the book will be the Chapters on the Egyptian Under-
world and its inhabitants.

GEORGE T. CANDLIN.

THE REV. GEORGE T. CANDLIN has been a missionary in
Northern China for many years, and is an interested student of the
life, customs and literature of the Chinese. He was especially inter-
ested in the World's Parliament of Religions and the idea of its
Extension movement. His broad insight led him to name as the
great problem of the foreign missionary, "the attitude which Chris-
tians must assume to non-Christian faiths, and the feeling towards
Christianity to be promoted amongst non-Christians." Mr. Candlm
believes that the representatives of world religions should enter
into covenant with one another: "(1) Personally never to speak

slightingly of the religious faith of one another (2) Officially

to promote among their partisans, by all means in their power, . . .
a like spirit of brotherly regard and honest respect for the beliefs of
others. (3) To discourage amongst the various peoples they serve
as religious guides, all such practices and ceremonies as, not consti-
tuting an essential part of their faith, are the strongest barriers to
union. (4) To promote all such measures as will advance progress
and enlightenment, .... among the people of their own faith and
nationality.. (5) To regard it as part of their holiest work on earth
to enlist all men of ability and influence wnth whom they are brought
into contact in the same noble cause."

DR. PAUL CARUS.

DR. PAUL CARUS, born in Germany and educated at German
universities, held the position of Oberlehrer at the Royal Corps of
Cadets at Dresden. Though the appointment was for life, he re-
signed for the sake of maintaining his independence of thought,
and after a short stay in England settled in the United States.
Having held some minor positions, he took charge of The Open
Court, December 1, 1887, and has ever since remained the manager
of The Open Court Publishing Company. His views may be charac-
terized both as monism and posithnsm, though his philosophy differs
considerably from Haeckel's monism, which is practically material-
ism, and even more so from the French positivism of Comte and
from agnosticism, its English equivalent.

Briefly stated, he would systematize the facts of experience into a
consistent and unitary world-conception. He has characterized
his position in a motto on the title page of his Fundamental Prob-
lems as follozvs:

"Not agnosticism but positive Science,

Not mysticism but clear thought,
Neither supernaturalism nor materialism

But a unitary conception of the world,
Not dogma but Religion,

Not creed but faith."

Dr. Carus published two books in German, Metaphysik in Wissen-
schaft, Ethik und Religion, and Ursache Grund und Zzv'eck. TJie
former discusses the significance of philosophy in science, in the .
domain of morality and in religious doctrine, showing that a definite
world-conception underlies all our intellectual life; while in the
latter is pointed out for the first time the difference between cause
and reason which, simple though it is, is of paramount importance
in scientific and philosophic thought. The confusion that generally
prevails on tliis subject is1 the source of innumerable errors in the
systems of the great philosophers from Aristotle down to the present
day. Dr. Cams has again treated the same problem in his later
publications, especially in Fundamental Problems and in the Primer
of Philosophy.

"Dr. Carus stands among those philosophers who set themselves in accord
with their time. His ideal is to unify the activities of the world, or, to
speak more accurately, to help others to perceive their unity. His philosophy
is in accord with whatever is best in scientific, or inventive, or artistic achieve-
ment. He stands with Comte, with Whitman, and with Emerson in his
advocacy of eternal interrogation and efficient creativeness. The religion of
Dr. Carus has this practical application — to perform the day's efficient task,
believing all things, hoping all things, trusting all things, and proving all
things. This is a clean, clear, definite and heartening propaganda."

BUDDHISM.

Buddhism and Its Christian Critics.

By DR. PAUL CARUS. New and Revised Edition. Pages, 311.
$1.25. (6s. 6d.)

CONTENTS: The Origin of Buddhism; The Philosophy of
Buddhism ; The Psychological Problem ; The Basic Concepts of
Buddhism ; Buddhism and Christianity ; Christian Critics.
Buddhism, so important in the history of religion on account
of its many parallels to Christianity, is greatly misunderstood
and misrepresented. The present book sets forth in brief, but
sufficiently detailed outlines, the origin of Buddhism, its phi-
losophy, its psychology, and its underlying world-conception
contrasting it with Christianity, pointing out similarities, dis-
cussing the probabilities of a mutual influence, and finally
criticizing the leading Christian critics of Buddhism. Dr.
Carus shows a sympathetic attitude toward Buddhism, with-
out, however, opposing Christianity. He pays considerable
attention to the mission problem, and advocates missions for
the purpose of mutual exchange of thought.

"What our author says of missionaries should be read and heeded by mis-
sionaries everywhere. As a study in comparative religion, as a demarcation
between the abstraction and passivity of Buddhism and the activity and salva-
tion-in-struggle of Christianity, Dr. Carus's volume is admirable. It is hardly
less so in its illuminative description of the origin, basic concepts, philosophy
and psychology of Buddhism itself. The author's calm judicial-mindedness
and absence of mere sentimentalism peculiarly fit him for the work." — Outlook.
'The enlightened Buddhist would he helped by it, and there is not a sectarian
Christian on the planet who might not be broadened or softened by it. It is
a reconciling book." — The Coming Dtay} London.

The Dharma.

Or the Religion of Enlightenment, An Exposition of Buddhism,
By DR. PAUL CARUS. Fifth edition. Revised and enlarged.
1907. Pages, xii, 167. Price, 25 cents. (Is.)

The Dharma is a systematic exposition of Buddhist doctrines,
containing, First, quotations of the typical tenets formulated
in Twelve Articles, then, an outline of the Abidharma, the
Buddhist philosophy, and finally, explanations refuting some
popular errors. Not the least noteworthy is a collection of
gems of Buddhist poetry. The book is heartily recommended
and endorsed by leading Buddhist priests of different countries.

"A compact and comprehensive exposition of Buddhism." — Boston Globe.
"If you wish to see truth in simplicity, study this exposition of Buddhism.
You will be ashamed to call yourself Presbyterian, or Methodist, or Baptist,
and wish that you might be a true and sincere Buddhist. . . Truth derived
from Buddhism enables us to understand the Prophets and the Gospels aright."

Das Evangelium Buddhas.

A German translation of "The Gospel of Buddha." Pages,
352. Cloth, $1.25. (5 marks.)

The sacred books of Buddhism are very voluminous, and the
Scriptures referring to the life of its founder have never been
systematically compiled. Soon after the Religious Parliament,
when Dr. Carus had been thrown into contact with living,
representatives of this remarkable faith, he undertook this long-
needed work, and he did it in a conservative as well as sympa-
thetic way, arranging translations of the several sources of the
life of the Buddha in one connected narration, introducing
his doctrines, together with the occasion on which they were
taught. The book has proved an unparalleled success, for it
has become an authoritative book with the Buddhists. It is
used in temples and schools in Japan, Ceylon, and other Bud-
dhist countries, and has been translated into Chinese, Japanese
(two translations), Urdu, Bengali, Teluga, Siamese, Tamil,
Malay, etc. ; further into German, Dutch, French and Spanish.

"The book will help its readers to a clearer conception of the character of the
sweetest of the pagans." — Chicago Evening Post.

"In addition to a very luminous and suggestive preface, Dr. Carus furnishes
a table of references, showing at an eye-glance the sources of his extracts and
the parallelism in the gospels. He gives also a glossary of names and terms,
a method of pronunciation and a good index. The simplicity of this presen-
tation, the freedom of the text from notes or uncouth and' outlandish dia-
critical points, and the general arrangement of the work are admirable. .
It is admirably fitted to be a handbook for the single reader or for classes."

— The Critic.

"A volume which many readers will find full of fascinating interest. . .
Read with a pretty wakeful discrimination, this is a book which is fitted to
widen one's thought as to the religious nature of man everywhere ; to con-
vince one of the truth that God has nowhere left himself without witness."

— The Advance.

"Dr. Carus's book is one which will be appreciated by many a student of {he
religions of the world, who will find here the best thoughts of the great
oriental faith put into readable shape by a clever, a learned, and a sympathetic
scholar." — Secular Thought.

"A series of chapters of extracts from the words of Buddha, from what for
the Buddhist corresponds to our Bible, so to express it. Many chapters are
beautiful in form and noble in sentiment. It is not offered in hostility to
Christianity but for study in connection with the latter and in the hope of
promoting spiritual reflection." — The Congregatrionalist.

The story of Karma drives home in a direct and forcible
way the advisability of good will toward all. Count Tolstoi
commended it for both "its artlessness and its profundity."
He translated the story into Russian, and hence was supposed
in certain re-translations from Russian into French, German
and English to be its author. When he discovered the error
he wrote: "I deeply regret not only that such a falsehood
was allowed to pass unchallenged, but also the fact that it was
a falsehood in reality, for I should be very happy were I the
author of this tale .... It is one of the best products of
national wisdom, and ought to be bequeathed to all mankind."

"A thing of rare beauty." — Boston Daily Advertiser.
"Simply a gem." — Presbyterian and Reformed Review.

"I read it aloud to children and they liked it. And amongst grown-up people
its reading always gave rise to conversation about the gravest problems of
life. And, to my mind, this is a very good recommendation."

"There is nothing in the shape of a holiday book on the market that so
strongly appeals to the intelligent and cultivated reader as does this odd

"The tale is in Dr. Carus's loftiest vein. It at once charms and enslaves.
The reader is held spellbound till the end is reached, and he rises a wiser and
better man. The tale is as wholesome as it is sparkling, and as uplifting
as it is frank and fearless." — The Gentleman's Journal.

In the development of its plot the story Nirvana contains an
exposition of Buddhist psychology, together with an explana-
tion of the Buddhist view of life after death.

"The scene is in a Brahman village in Northern Central India, and reminds
one of parts of Mr. Rudyard Kipling's 'Jungle Books.' There is a charm-
ing account of a wedding ceremony, after which the wise men discourse
of the Tathagata as taught by a wandering disciple of Buddha."

— London Spectator.

Buddhism is either believed in or studied, for it works on the lines laid down
by the Pali originals, to which (with commendable clearness of reference) it
owes its inspiration. — The Athenaeum, London.

Amitabha, a Story of Buddhist Theology.

By DR. PAUL CARUS. Pages, 121. Boards, 50 cents net.
(2s. 6d.)

The story Amitabha has a historical setting in the ascend-
ancy of the kingdom of Gandhara, under King Kanishka, whose
interest in Buddhism and whose connection with Acvaghosha,
the great Buddhist philosopher, are well known. The plot
has unity of interest, but gives ample opportunity in discussion
and incident to explain and illustrate some of the cardinal
points of Buddhism, especially in regard to the way of salva-
tion and the God-conception represented by Amitabha Buddha,
the Source of Infinite Light and the Standard of Being, as
distinct from the Brahman idea of a conscious personal deity.

The book is in an edition approximately uniform with Nirvana
and contains a few explanatory notes and references in the back.
The lettering on the brown board covers is in imitation of Sans-
krit characters and the decoration is a detail from the frontis-
piece of the book. This frontispiece is a reproduction of a
statue found at Gandhara, which is supposed to be the oldest
Buddhist statue now in existence. It is especially appropriate
to accompany the story of Amitabha, for it represents the
influence of the Greek sculptors who in Kanishka's reign
''flocked to Gandhara, transplanting the art of their home to
the soil of India."

Chinese Philosophy.

Being an Exposition of the .Main Characteristic Features of
Chinese Thought. By DR. PAUL CARUS. Pages, 62. Numer-
ous diagrams, native characters and illustrations. Paper, 30
cents. (Is. 6d.)

It is a sketch, not an exhaustive treatise, and still less a history
of Chinese philosophy. It purports to serve as an introduction
to the intricacies of typically Chinese notions, explaining their
symbols and revealing their mysteries in terse and intelligible
language. The brevity is intentional, for the essay is meant to
give a bird's-eye view of the Chinese world-conception. While
appreciating the remarkable genius exhibited by the founders
of the Chinese civilization, the author points out the foibles of
the Chinese and traces them to their source. It is noteworthy
that in spite of its candid and unreserved criticism, the essay
was well received by the Chinese authorities and was granted
the rare honor of being recommended by the Tsung Li Yamen
of Peking, the Imperial Foreign Office, and placed on file in
their archives.

A Chinese scholar writes : "When the Tsung Li Yamen volun-
tarily certifies that a Western scholar fully understands Chi-
nese philosophy, and the Book of Changes as an incidental sec-
tion of the same, it would be well for those who happen to be
interested in either of these topics to inquire what he has to
say .... Suffice it to say that the author made a profound,
if not an absolutely incomprehensible, topic to a certain extent
luminous, and to an even greater degree interesting."

"The author gives in his introduction terse and discriminating characteriza-
tions of the 'rare mixture of deep thought and idle speculations' which make
up the Chinese philosophy, and in his conclusion expresses equally just opin-
ions of China's present unhappy helplessness." — /. M. Foster, Swatow, China,
in The American Journal of Theology.

"Valuable and of unquestioned reliability. The delineation of the philosophy
that underlies the Chinese civilization is so ably done in these pages that
the reader cannot fail to appreciate the causes which produce Chinese con-
servatism."— Toledo Blade.

"There is no one in America better qualified than Dr. Carus to treat of this
and kindred subjects. It has been his life study — and we know of no writer
who can place so abstruse a subject in so interesting a form."

Chinese World-Conception. By PAUL CARUS. Being a con-
tinuation of the author's essay, Chinese Philosophy. Illus-
trated. Index. Pages, 195. $1.00 net. (4s. 6d.)

This book contains much that is of very great interest in the
development of Chinese culture. Beginning in the first chap-
ter with a study of the earliest modes of thought-communica-
tion among primitive people of different parts of the world,
and tracing the growth of the present system of Chinese cali-
graphy. In "Chinese Occultism" some interesting Oriental
mystical ideas are explained as well as the popular methods of
divination by means of trigrams and the geomancer's compass.
In a special chapter the zodiacs of different nations are com-
pared with reference to the Chinese zodiac and also as to a pos-
sible common Babylonian origin. This chapter contains many
rare and valuable illustrations representing almost all known
zodiacs from those of Egypt to those of the natives of the West-
ern hemisphere. The influence of Confucius is discussed, and a
hurried recapitulation of the most important points in Chinese
history is given, together with a review of the long novel which
stands in the place of a national epic. Chinese characteristics
and social conditions have their place in this volume as well as
remarks upon the part played in China by Christian missions,
and upon the introduction of Western commercialism. The
author's object is to furnish the necessary material for a psy-
chological appreciation of the Chinese by sketching the main
characteristic features of the ideas wrhich dominate Chinese
thought and inspire Chinese morality, hoping thereby to con-
tribute a little toward the realization of peace and good will
upon earth. Nowhere is there more solid information concern-
ing things Chinese gathered into so small a compass as has
been done here, and much of it has been dug out from recondite
sources sometimes not easily accessible even to sinologists.

"The author is to be commended on the completeness and the erudition with
which he has handled an obscure subject." — The Argonaut.

"To all interested in Chinese and other Eastern civilization this book will
possess compelling fascination, so full is it of careful research, ably presented
by one of the most competent scholars of the age."

This book is little more than a compilation of Chinese illus-
trations, accompanied with only as much text as will suffice
to explain them, and what further material has been added is
merely in the way of quotations from Chinese literature. The
intention is to make the Chinese people characterize themselves
by word and picture. Child rhymes, love 'lyrics and songs of
revelry are introduced in translations from Chinese poetry which
is recognized as classical. The illustrations which form the
great body of the book are from one of the most authentic
sources of information concerning modern life in China, unaf-
fected by the aggressive Occidental foreigners. The book is
divided into chapters on "Annual Festivities," "Industries and
Foreign Relations," "Confucianism and Ancestor Worship,"
"Taoism and Buddhism," "Childhood and Education," "Be-
trothal and Marriage," "Social Customs and Travels," "Sick-
ness and Death."

"A unique book." — Louisville Courier-Journal.

"A simple presentation of the realities of things unmixed with any theorizing.
. . The numerous illustrations are genuine specimens of Chinese art, full of

"With each of the reproduced illustrations goes the explanation needed for
complete understanding, whether the picture be one of the gods, of the cele-
bration of a religious festival, of the planting of rice, or of boys in school. In
this way nearly the whole of the life of the Chinese people finds exposition,
and the western man can follow his eastern cousin into his home and through
his entire days on earth with ready comprehension." — Chicago Daily News.

Lao-tze, one of the most profound sages in the history of human
civilization, who lived 600 years B. C., and 100 years before
Buddha, left a most remarkable little treatise on Reason and
Virtue, which is here reproduced in its Chinese text, accom-

minute shades of the original accessible to the English reader.

"Allow me to congratulate you on your capacity for seeing into mill-stones."
— Rev. Arthur H. Smith, American Board of Missions, Tientsin, China.
"It goes without saying that the task of obtaining sufficient acquaintance with
the Chinese language to translate, under the conditions named, a book like
that of Lao-Tze, is a gigantic one. Dr. Carus's success is little short of
marvelous. He frequently cites the versions of others, and it seems clear that
Dr. Carus has succeeded better than Dr. Legge or Dr. Chalmers in the
passages where we are able to compare them — a very remarkable fact, indeed."

— North China Herald.

"I thank you heartily for your kindness in sending me a copy of your fine
translation and critical exposition of Lao-Tze's Tao Teh King. It was years
ago that I read it. Your publication of the Chinese text will be highly appre-
ciated by all who want to make a study of the philosopher. As I read the
text and then the translation, I am astonished how well you kept the original
terseness and severe brevity in English."— Professor S. Watasc.
"Nothing like this book exists in Chinese literature ; so lofty, so vital, so rest-
ful. . . We have compared this translation with three others — two English,
one German — and have no hesitation in saying it is the most satisfactory and
serviceable as well as least expensive now accessible to the public. The
bright cover of yellow and blue is very appropriate and suggestive of the
Celestial Kingdom."— The Hartford Post.

"The Canon contains much that is in accord with Christian sentiment, though
written before the time of Jesus. It is exceedingly interesting as showing
that truth is the same for all time and by whomever presented."

PSYCHOLOGY AND PHILOSOPHY.

The Soul of Man.

An Investigation of the Facts of Physiological and Experi-
mental Psychology. By DR. PAUL CARUS. Third edition.
1905. With an Appendix on the latest researches in Physiol-
ogy. 182 diagrams. Pages, xviii, 482. Price, cloth, $1.50
net. (6s. net.)

This is a popular exposition of psychology, treating first the
philosophical problems of the .origin of mind, and the rise of
organized life, together with kindred topics, the question of
vitalism, feeling and motion, nature of memory, etc. It then
discusses the physiology of brain-activity from the standpoint
of evolution, as well as comparative anatomy. This part of
the book is fully illustrated, and affords an opportunity for a
layman to acquire an insight into the physiology of both animal
and human brain functions in their relation to psychical proc-
esses. Of especial interest may be considered the chapter on
the "Immortality of the Race and the Data of Propagation."
The rest of the book is devoted to specifically psychological
chapters, including the discussion of facts of modern psychol-
ogy, such as double personality, hypnotism and its dangers,
dreams and hallucinations, suggestion, etc.

Of special interest is Dr. Carus's theory of the origin of feeling
and consciousness, which originates by organization through
memory. Dim feelings become clear by being compared to
former feelings. Isolated feelings remain subliminal. They
become conscious by being felt. A step further in the origin
of mind is made when feelings become representative, i. e.,
when they acquire meaning and when sense impressions denote
the presence of objects.

Dr. Cams further propounds a new theory of the nature of
pleasure and pain, rejecting the old notion that pleasure is
identical with growth, and pain with decay. (Cf. also his
article in the Monist, VI, 432.) His theory of the physiologi-
cal conditions of consciousness has been discussed by physiol-
ogists. (For instance, in the Journal of Neurology, by its editor,
the late CLARENCE L. HERRICK). Dr. Carus claims that the
cortex is the storehouse of memories, but not the seat of con-
sciousness. Its activity is only partly illumined by conscious-
ness according to physiological conditions. The conclusion of
the book is devoted to ethical and religious problems, such as
freedom of will and responsibility, the origin of death, immor-
tality, the communism of soul life, and the soul of the universe.
"A solid addition to the works upon physiological psychology."

Primer of Philosophy.

A Popular Exposition of the Fundamental Notions of Phil-
osophy. By DR. PAUL CARUS. Third edition. Pages, vi, 242.
Cloth, $1.00 (5s.)

A systematic exposition of a philosophy, of science based upon
critically-sifted experience. Dr. Carus builds up his philosophy
upon facts. He rejects -axioms of any kind, even in mathe-
matics. He derives the principles from which he builds up the
formal sciences (mathematics, logic, etc.), from experience;
discusses the nature of causation, the prevalent confusion of
the notions, cause and reason, the problems of teleology and
free will, the nature of the human mind, perceptions, generali-
zations, ideas, and the continued preservation of ideas from
generation to generation, closing with a discussion of the relig-
ious problem.

"Combines scholarship and original thought with an accurate and popular
style of writing, and the result is a fascinating work upon what most people
consider an unusually dry subject." — American Israelite.

"The handiest and most educative, the best and brightest discussion of such
problems as vex the souls of philosophers, accessible to English readers."

— Amos Waters in Watts' s Literary Guide.

"This little book is the most readable and lucid presentation of a system of
philosophy that I have ever read." — Paper and Press.

Fundamental Problems.

The Method of Philosophy as a Systematic Arrangement of
Knowledge. Third edition, enlarged and revised. By DR.
PAUL CARUS. Pages, xii, 373. Cloth/ $1.50. (7s. 6d.)
This book is a popular treatment of philosophical topics, and
among them the most important is Form and Formal Thought,
pointing out the contrast between sensation and pure reason,
matter and the inter-relation of its component parts. It lays
the foundation for a comprehension of the significance of Form ;
the arrangement of the order of nature, the laws of nature and
all that is implied thereby, the nature of spirit, of ethics, of
ideals, of art, and also of causation in general. Many of these
articles are discussions which took place in The Open Court,
and the appendix contains replies to critics of different schools,
among them agnostics, dogmatists, mystics, materialists, and
others.

"Reverent, elevated, and comprehensive. . . The book is of most excellent
spirit and of great ability." — Public Opinion.

"A good introduction to the study of formal philosophy."

The Surd of Metaphysics.

An Inquiry into the Question Are There -T kings -I n-T hem-
selves? by DR. PAUL CARUS. 1903. Pages, vi, 233. 75 cents
net. (3s. 6d. net.)

This book is not metaphysical, but antimetaphysical. The idea
that science and philosophy are contrasts still prevails in many
circles, even among advanced thinkers, and the claim is fre-
quently made that philosophy leaves a surd, some irreducible
element analogous to the irrational in mathematics. Dr. Carus
stands for the opposite view. He believes in the efficiency of
science and to him the true philosophy is the philosophy of
science. Now it is true that certain methods of logic are insuf-
ficient to reduce our experiences to rational concepts, and
science in general is limited in its various branches to the
methods employed, but there is no need of assuming, for that
reason, that the surd in the intellectual realm possesses any real
objective value, and would render philosophy ultimately meta-
physical or mystical.

The present volume investigates the nature of this surd of
metaphysics, which so far has proved the greatest stumbling
block of philosophy to scientists. It looms up in Kant's phil-
osophy as the "thing-in-itself," and is still adhered to in some
form or another by many prominent thinkers of the present day.
The author's intention is to establish philosophy as a science,
and so he endeavors to make it the science of the sciences. He
discusses in the present volume the significance which this
mysterious element has played in the realm of thought, and
propounds his own views in contradiction to those of Deussen,
Jodl, Mach and Max Muller.

The aim of the book is to liberate philosophy of the surd which,
in the days of metaphysicism, has clung to it and prevented its
development into a philosophy of science. But the change
was felt even a century ago by the prophetic poet, Friederich
Schiller, who, though an admirer and even a disciple of Kant,
was impressed with the redundancy of the <e thing-in-itself" in
philosophy, and so he wrote the following satirical distich :

"Since Metaphysics of late

Without heirs to her fathers was gathered,
Here at the auctioneer's are

'Things-in-themselves' to be sold."

"Filled with clear, wholesome, strong, intellectual food." — Unity.
"A well prepared work for the student of philosophy. The logic, in the main
is strong and convincing, and Dr. Carus's views are ably presented and de-
fended."— Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer.

"Dr. Carus stands for man's deliberate correspondence with the forces of
evolution, and sees in his creative power, his practical achievements, his addi-
tion to usable thought, and in his hands' work, his true significance."

Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysic.

mentary material for the study of Kant; Portraits, Paulsen's
chronology of Kant, etc. Pages, 301. Cloth, 75 cents net.
(3s. 6d. net.)

Convinced of the significance of Kant's Prolegomena, Dr.
Carus offers a new translation of this most important Kantian
pamphlet, which is practically an explanation of Kant himself,
setting forth the intention of his Critique of Pure Reason. Dr.
Carus believes that Kant has formulated the problem of phil-
osophy correctly, but that he has not succeeded with its solu-
tion. Pointing out the errors of Kant, which consist in the
looseness of the use of certain terms, especially the words
."experience" and "ideal," he builds up his own philosophy,
which is, to characterize it in a word, the philosophy of science
based on experience, observation and experiment.

"I am very much pleased with Kant's Prolegomena, and shall make use of the
book with a class of about sixty students some time after Easter. It is, by
all odds, the best book through which to appreciate Kant's system."

— George Duncan, Professor in Yale University.

"A new translation which has some advantages of lucidity over the older
English versions made when Kant's hard terminology had been less thor-
oughly mastered by scholars than it now is. . . It forms an admirable
introduction to the writings of the founder of modern transcendentalism, and
will prove welcome to students on both sides of the Atlantic." — The Scotsman.

Our Children.

Hints from Practical Experience for Parents and Teachers,
By PAUL CARUS. Pages, 207. $1.00 net. (4s. 6d. net.)

In the little book Our Children, Dr. Carus offers a unique con-
tribution to pedagogical literature. Without any theoretical
pretensions it is a strong defense for the rights of the child,
dealing with the responsibilities of parenthood, and with the
first inculcation of fundamental ethics in the child mind and
the true principles of correction and guidance. Each detail
is forcefully illustrated by informal incidents from the author's
experience with his own children, and his suggestions will
prove of great value to young parents and kindergartners.
Hints as to the first acquaintance with all branches of knowl-
edge are touched upon — mathematics, natural science, foreign
languages, etc. — and practical wisdom in regard to the treat-
ment of money, hygiene, and similar problems.

"Brightly written, broad-minded, instructive, this book deserves serious
perusal and praise." — Chicago Record-Herald.

"Our Children has a value which it is difficult to exaggerate. The strong
common sense of the book as a whole can better be judged from an extract
than from any praise of it, however particularized. . . It is difficult to
conceive of anything coming up in relation of parent or teacher to a child
which does not find discussion or suggestion in this compact and helpful
little book. It will be an aid to parents and teachers everywhere — an educa-
tion for them no less than for the child." — Chicago Daily News.

"We feel certain that any parent who thoughtfully reads and studies this
book will be richly paid, and if the readers be parents with growing children
they will keep the book by them for frequent consultation, not for iron rules,
but for sympathetic suggestion." — Commercial News, Danville, III.

"From my own personal point of view I can only welcome this volume in our
pedagogical literature and express the hope that it may become a household
book in the library of every parent and teacher." — M. P. E. Groszmann, Ph. D.,
Director of Groszmann School for Nervous Children.

"The book is delightful and most helpful. I read it with much pleasure and
profit, then re-read most of it aloud to my husband. The suggestions for disci-
pline were exactly what I needed for our second boy; he had always been a
great problem, but I was too stupid and possibly too near to him to solve it
for myself. The chapter on 'The Naughty Child' seems to have done this,
and I feel as if a wonderful thing had happened. . . Our neighborhood
club of women, mothers of 51 children, are reading Our Children, a chapter
at a time, at club meetings and finding it so helpful. It is such good sense."

The Nature of the State is a small treatise, conveying a great

Does the State Exist? Was the Individual Prior to Society?
The State a Product of Natural Growth ; The Authority of the
State and the Right to Revolution; The Modern State Based
on Revolution ; Treason and Reform.

The History of the Devil.

And the Idea of Evil from the Earliest Times to the Present
Day. By DR. PAUL CARUS. Printed in two colors from large
type on fine paper. Bound in cloth, illuminated with cover
stamp from Dore. Five hundred 8vo. pages, with 311 illustra-
tions in black and tint. Price, $6.00. (30s.)

Beginning with pre-historic Devil-worship and the adoration of
demon gods and monster divinities, the author surveys the
beliefs of the Summero-Accadians, the Persians, the Jews, the
Brahmans, the Buddhists, the early Christians and the Teutonic
nations. He then passes to the demonology of the Middle Ages,
the Reformation, and Modern times, discussing the Inquisition,
witchcraft, and the history of the Devil in verse and fable. The
problem of evil is thus treated in its historical phase, but
the main purport of the book is philosophical, pointing out that
the contrasts, good and evil, are the realities of life, and so
the ideas, God and Satan, stand for actual facts. Though there
is no Devil with horns and hoofs, as represented in Mediaeval
folklore, he is a real presence in the life of man which has to
be reckoned with.

"It is seldom that a more intensely absorbing study of this kind has been
made, and it can be safely asserted that the subject has never before been so
comprehensively treated. . . Neither public nor private librarian can afford
to be without this book, for it is a well of information upon a subject
fascinating to both students and casual readers." — Chicago Israelite.

"The work is a triumph of the printers' art, having more than 300 illustra-
tions of the rarest and most curious religious deities, good and bad. For an
interesting and instructive volume on demonology, Dr. Paul Carus's work
surpasses anything we have ever seen." — Pacific Medical Journal.

"The author has shown great diligence in gathering illustrative material, and !
it is doubtful if any such collection of ancient and modern, quaint and curious,
picturesque and frightful pictures relative to the subject has been before
offered to English readers." — The Dial.

"We have several hours' reading here, and it is made the pleasanter by a j
profusion of gruesome pictures — pictures of the Devil in all his shapes and of
the Devil's wonderful ways with his victims and votaries. The book as a
book is charming, as charming as a book about the Devil could be."

— Expository Times, London.

"The pictorial illustrations of this subject from earliest Egyptian frescoes, ]
from pagan idols, from old black-letter tomes, from quaint early Christian i
sculpture, down to the model pictures of Dore and Schneider, add greatly tc ;
the value of the book." — M. E. Magazine and Review.

DR. PAUL.CARUS. 80 illustrations. Pages, 183. Compre-

Dr. Carus contends that Samson's prototype is to be found in
those traditions of all primitive historical peoples which relate
to a solar deity. He believes that genuine tradition, no matter
how mythological, is more conservative than is at first apparent.
Though the biblical account of Samson's deeds, like the twelve
labors of Heracles, is the echo of an ancient solar epic which
glorifies the deeds of Shamash in his migration through the
twelve signs of the zodiac, there may have been a Hebrew hero
whose deeds reminded the Israelites of Shamash, and so his
adventures were told with modifications which naturally made
the solar legends cluster about his personality. References are
fully given, authorities quoted and comparisons are carefully
drawn between Samson on the one hand, and Heracles, Sha-
mash, Melkarth and Siegfried on the other. The appendix
contains a controversy between Mr. Geo. W. Shaw and the
author in which is discussed at some length the relation between
myth and history.

"Charmingly printed and copiously illustrated." — Picayune.
"The discussion is learned and in good spirit." — Watchman.

By DR. PAUL CARUS. Pages viii, 218. Price, cloth, 75 cents

This little book treats of the central problems of all religion ;
the nature of the ego; the origin, development, and destiny of
the human personality; spiritual heredity; the dissolution of
the body and the preservation of the soul ; the nature of human
immortality; mankind's ideals; the rational basis of ethics, etc.,
all from the standpoint of modern psychology and biology. It
teaches an immortality consisting in the survival of our ideas
and aspirations which are the quintessence of our very soul.
The author takes pains to prove that this is a true immortality
and not mere fiction. All doctrines of immortality taught in
allegory or symbol -are but makeshifts to express for people
untrained in philosophical thought this grandest of all religious
truths.

The Dawn of a New Religious Era.

By DR. PAUL CARUS. Pages, vi, 145. Cloth, 50 cents net.
(2s. 6d. net.)

Dr. Carus gave up the religious conviction which had become
dear to him in his youth because he found it untenable under
the strain of scientific critique. He first modified his faith, and
finally surrendered everything that could be defended only
by the claim of tradition, special revelation, or belief in author-
ity, but thereby he reached the bottom rock and built up a new
faith on the eternal truths that can be proved by science, and
are verifiable in our daily experience. This is the constructive
part of his work, which makes him the most conservative of
radicals. He is vigorously opposed to agnosticism and all
equivocation as well as indifference, building up a new ortho-
doxy of scientifically tenable truths. The new era of the relig-
ion of the future, which is vividly described in this pamphlet,
has its dawn in the spirit that made the Religious Parliament
possible. This little volume contains a critical analysis of Prof.
Romanes' "Thoughts on Religion," discussing the reasons for
his reconversion to Christianity shortly before his death.

The Religion of Science.

By DR. PAUL CARUS. Pages vi, 145. 'Cloth, 50 cents net.
(2s. 6d.)

-Religion, in order to be stable and vital, must be able to stand

the test of scientific critique. That religion alone fulfills all

demands which contains no presumptions incongruous with

science, and is warranted by the verified truths of science. The

present volume is an attempt to outline the doctrines of a

religious conviction which is not merely based on belief, and

whose ideas of God, soul, immortality, together with its moral

aspirations are tenable before the tribunal of science.

"The best and briefest possible popular exposition of the scientific attitude

towards the religious sentiment that we have read." — New England Magazine.

' 'The Religion of Science' is, in its way, a masterpiece. Its author is unique,

interesting and suggestive as a thinker. We may not, we do not, agree with

his conclusions, but we admire his force, originality and independence."

— Boston Daily Traveler.

"It is one of those helpful books which, instead of repudiating man's part,
sneering at his religious history, and with grotesque and narrow bigotry
more intolerable than that which it scorns, renouncing the hard-earned
wealth of human experience and striving and martyrdoms, rather enters joy-
fully into the spirit of that past and learning its wisdom goes forward in
the strength of it to new positions of security and enlightenment."

—Rev. Robert D. Towne.

"With much that he says we fully agree, and we respect the moral earnestness
with which he discusses the problems of life and duty. . . We have read
his book with interest, and we cordially echo the sentiment he expresses that
'blessed is he who trusts in the truth, who hearkens to its behests, and leads

RELIGION (Con.)
Homilies of Science.

By DR. PAUL CARUS. Pages x, 317. Cloth, gilt top, $1.50.
(7s. 6d.)

This is a collection of short sermons from the standpoint of a
religion which recognizes no religious doctrine that is incon-
sistent with the truths taught by science. Among the topics
presented we mention: "Is Religion Dead?" "Living the
Truth," "Is God a Mind?" "The Religion of Joy," "The Lib-
eral's Folly," "Faith and Doubt," "The American Ideal."

"They are written in a direct and interesting style, generally profound in
thought, and elicit the attention of the intelligent reader."

— Reformed Church Review.

"Many of these articles might appear without criticism in the most orthodox
church weeklies and magazines. One in particular, on 'The Hunger After
Righteousness/ might be read from any Christian pulpit as a sermon, while
the papers on 'Sexual Ethics,' 'Monogamy and Free Love,' and 'Morality and
Virtue' will astonish the very large class who imagine that rejection of
dogma tends to subversion of morals. This is a good book for those who
want to know what unbelievers really believe." — Book News.

"What Dr. Carus says on ethical subjects, though containing nothing particu-
larly new, will find an echo in the hearts of good men of every creed. He is
wholly uninfected with the socialistic heresies now so widely prevalent, and he
sternly rebukes those free-thinkers who regard morality with indifference,
and scoff at its requirements. . . As an example of existing tendencies, as
well as by its moral earnestness, this book will interest the reader." — Science.

"It has all the genuine life and spirit of Christianity, but is free from the
dogmatic theology which is a stumbling block to so many intelligent believers.
. . Every one who is interested in the great problems of life, death and
immortality should read this volume and ponder over its practical suggestions."

— Daily Herald, Norristown, Pa.

"It is always a pleasure to read the utterances of the author of this book when
religion and morality are under consideration. He is so frank in stating his
own views and so utterly free from harshness or uncharitableness in stating
his opposition to the views of others, as to be able to carry any reader along
without personal irritation. . . We are attracted by the strong moral and
spiritual tone in the book, and find a reverence and devotion here for things
of the spirit which do not exist in some of our so-called religious writers.
. . It will stir many a soul to a higher life." — Public Opinion.

"While these essays are opposed to some of the teachings of dogmatic
Christianity, they are full of the spirit of the highest Christian morality
and are not in any true sense antagonistic to religious faith. They are
constructive rather than destructive." — Review of Reviezvs, New York.

"Their author is evidently animated by a broadly catholic spirit, is widely read,
and writes in the interests of higher morality." — Milwaukee Sentinel.

The Chief's Daughter.

A Legend of Niagara. By DR. PAUL CARUS. Illustrations
by EDUARD BIEDERMANN. A story in neat, small octavo! Seven
photogravures. Thirteen pen-and-ink and half-tone illustrations.
Special initials and title-page ornaments. Printed on fine paper
in large, clear type. Bound in cloth. Pages, 54. $1.00 net.
(4s. 6d. net).

The fascinating Indian legend of the annual sacrifice to the
waters of Niagara of a beautiful maiden has been made in this
story the basis of a tale of religious development and emancipa-
tion, which freed the Indian tribe of the Oniahgahrahs from the
thrall of a cruel superstition, though without dishonor to their
consciences and sacred traditions. The scene is laid in the time
of the French exploration of the North and Middle West and
the chief European role is played by the historic figure of Father
Hennepin.

"As a dainty and delicate, fanciful and philosophical story, it is interesting."

— Frederick Starr in Unity.

"A beautiful story, told in simple and admirably chosen language and with
plenty of pure and ingenious moralizing between the lines for the reader."

— Chicago Record-Herald.

"Dr. Carus tells the legend with many pathetically romantic incidents, in
lucid and prettily adaptable language, not a word but conveys a direct and
harmonious meaning. There's a touch of exalted moralizing in the story,
the kind that appeals to the heart as well as to the intellect." — Exchange,

The Crown of Thorns.

A Story of the Time of Christ. By DR. PAUL CARUS. Illustra-
tions by EDUARD BIEDERMANN. Pages, 73. Cloth, 75 cents net.
(3s. 6d. net.)

"The Crown of Thorns" is a story of the time of Christ. It is
fiction of the character of legend, utilizing materials preserved
in both the canonical scriptures and the Apocryphal traditions,
but giving preference to the former. The hopes and beliefs of
the main personalities, however, can throughout be verified by
documentary evidence. The religious milieu is strictly historical,
and is designed to show the way in which Christianity developed
from Judaism through the Messianic hopes of the Nazarenes as
interpreted by the Apostle Paul of Tarsus. '

"A beautifully written, well-illustrated and entertaining little book."

— The Bookworm.

"Though a short story it is one of singular charm and power. As a whole
it is a capital instance of how legitimately and effectively for the particular
purpose in view the imagination may cooperate with the historic spirit.
The mood of the story is pervaded by a sentiment of exceeding delicacy
and reverence. . . There is not one false note in it."

— Chicago Evening Post.

Eros and Psyche.

Retold After Apuleius. By DR. PAUL CARUS. Half-tone repro-
ductions, with ornamental borders, of the famous illustrations of
PAUL THUMANN. Printed from pica type on Strathmore deckle-
edge paper, elegantly bound, and with classic cover design by
E. BIEDERMANN. One of the quaintest stories of the world's
folk-lore. Pages, xv, 108. Price, $1.50 net. (6s. net.)
This ancient Greek fairy story incorporates the primitive religion
of a prehistoric age teaching the immortality of the soul in the
shape of a myth. Dr. Carus has brought out this feature in
retelling the story after Apuleius, the sole author through whom
it has been preserved.

"Dr. Carus has brought out the religious and philosophical leitmotiv with
more emphasis than it possesses in the original. By obliterating the flippant
and satirical tone of the Greek writer and adding a few skillful touches
where the real significance of the tale lies, he has made a story capable of
giving religious comfort and at the same time of delighting the ethical
and artistic sense." — Chicago Tribune.

"Dr. Carus is master of a clear flowing English style, and tells in a graceful
manner this ancient story of love and adventure." — Dominion Presbyterian.

"The Greek tone as well as the Greek name of the god is sustained in this
little Volume, which is daintily arranged, and beautifully illustrated by Paul
Thumann." — Outlook.

"Lovers of the beautiful in mythology and in the book-maker's art, will be
enraptured over this charming little book. The chaste and classical design
on the front cover is in keeping with the high art ideal maintained through-
out. The story itself is made more attractive than ever by Dr. Carus's
discriminating explanation of its origin and symbolism." — Baptist Union.

The Philosopher's Martyrdom.

A Satire by PAUL CARUS. Pages, vi, 67. Parchment wrapper.
1907. 50 cents net. (2s. 6d. net.)

A satire to disprove agnosticism and hedonism. It ridicules
the proposition that the main philosophical problems are
unsolvable and shows in practical instances that the greatest
happiness of the greatest number is by no means always desira-
ble, still less a test of moral conduct. These propositions are not
discussed, but elucidated in a story containing a series of
humorous events leading up to the martyr death of the hero
who gallantly submits to his fate among the cannibals in faith-
ful adhesion to his hedonistic philosophy.

Friedrich Schiller.

A Sketch of His Life and an Appreciation of His Poetry. By
DR. PAUL CARUS. Profusely illustrated. 1905. Pages, 102,
octavo. Boards, cloth back, illustrated cover, 75 cents net.
(3s. 6d.)

Schiller, the poet, is better known than Schiller the thinker.
The present monograph, which is devoted to the biography of
Schiller, dwells mainly on his philosophy as the same has been
expressed in poems not generally noticed as they deserve to be.

"A strong character sketch, with critical appreciation of his work and
specimens of his poetry in German and English translations, makes this
volume to the Schiller lover a very attractive book."

—Methodist Book and Publishing House, Toronto.

"Schiller's philosophical thought, his keen insight into sham and pretense,
and his heart-bracing utterances for freedom, may indeed be made clear
to all; and here Dr. Cams has done significant service. . . We commend
this book heartily." — Christian Register.

"This adequately illustrated and tastefully bound volume by Dr. Paul Caru
is an admirable memorial of the recent Schiller Centenary. In addition to
biographical sketch we have two thoughtful essays by Dr. Cams on Schille
as a philosophical poet and on Schiller's poetry. Both have well-chosei
selections of considerable extent, and it was a good idea to present thes
illustrative excerpts in both German and English." — The Outlook.

Goethe and Schiller's Xenions.

Selected and translated by DR. PAUL CARUS. Printed in albun
shape on heavy paper. Paper covers. Pages, vii, 162. Price
50 cents. (2s. 6d.)

The appearance of the Xenions is significant in the lives of botl
Goethe and Schiller. Each one of them is the product of theii
common activity. Some of them are personal and satirical
while others incorporate in the terse form of a distich profounc
thoughts or far-reaching moral principles. The latter class con
taining thoughts of enduring worth have been selected here fo
the sake of making them, as they deserve to be, a part of Englisl
literature. They are translated in the original meter and with
the assistance of a preface constitute a good introduction to the
methods of classical prosody.

The following is an instance of the satire directed against the
author's contemporary critics :

"Don't be disturbed by the barking;
Remain in your seats, for the barkers
Wish but to get in your place,
There to be barked at themselves."

A Record of Religious Progress, by DR. PAUL CARUS. 1898.
Pages, 26. 50 cents. (2s. 6d.)

This is a collection of short poems of the author reflecting his
religious development from orthodox Christianity through infi-
delity to a new and positive faith on broader, more philosophical
and truer grounds. Most of these poems were originally written
in German, but have been rewritten by the author to express
the same thoughts in the language of his new home.
"This little book of verse is a spiritual autobiography. . . It is a surer
testimony of the certitudes of religion than that of those who never doubted."

Sacred Tunes for the Consecration of Life.

Hymns of the Religion of Science, by DR, PAUL CARUS. Pages,

The religious convictions of Dr. Paul Carus have found a
poetical embodiment in this collection which can be used for
practical purposes in liberal churches. In addition to hymns of
a general nature, including a new version of "Nearer My God
to Thee," it also contains a bridal song for marriage ceremonies,
and funeral anthems.

"The spirit of the poems is devout. The writer is sincere and honest.
There is much that is beautiful, and true, and good."

Alva Lane. Pages, 17. Paper. Price, 15 cents.

De Rerum Natura.

Von DR. PAUL CARUS. Pages, 25. Paper. Price, 15 cents.
This is the original German text of the foregoing as it first
appeared in the Philosophische Monatshefte. XXX, Nos. 5, 6.
There is a great doubt among literary critics as to whether
philosophical poetry is possible. Here is a versified discourse
with the world-problem as a theme. The author takes the
title of another poem of the same general nature, written by
another Carus (Titus Lucretius). But while the poet-philoso-
pher of the golden age of Latin literature is diffuse and argu-
mentative, his modern follower is terse, and attempts only to
express the thoughts and feelings of the science-moulded
modern man, in contemplation of the Great All.

"To me your poem is a song that thrills with genuine loftiness and grandeur ;
a romance recounting in rhythmic cadences and in reverential spirit the tale
of the All-Soul. It condemns nothing but that which is out of place, such as
ignorance and superstition, etc., and these are not condemned but merely
disproved."— Dr. T. T. Blaise.

CARL HEINRICH CORNILL.

In PROFESSOR CORNILL we have one of the most scholarly
professors of Old Testament Theology, and at the same time a man
of unusual devotion and Christian piety. Among the higher critics
he is recognized as a leader, and having attained his results almost in
spite of his oivn preferences, presents them with great delicacy and
with unusual sympathy for the traditional interpretation.
"An accomplished and conscientious scholar, and of a truly religious
spirit."— The Outlook.

History of the People of Israel.

From the Earliest Times to the Destruction of Jerusalem by
the Romans. By PROF. C. H. CORNILL, of the University of
Breslau, Germany. Translated by Prof. W. H. Carruth. Third
edition. Pages, vi, 325. Cloth, $1.50. (7s. 6d.)

A fascinating portrayal of Jewish history by .one of the fore-
most of Old Testament scholars. An impartial record. Com-
mended by both orthodox and unorthodox.

"Many attempts have been made since Old Testament criticism settled down
into a science, to write the history of Israel popularly. And some of these
attempts are highly meritorious, especially Kittel's and Kent's. But Cornill
has been most successful. His book is smallest and it is easiest to read. He
has the master faculty of seizing the essential and passing by the accidental.
His style (especially as freely translated into English by Professor Carruth
of Kansas) is pleasing and restful. Nor is he excessively radical. If Isaac
and Ishmael are races, Abraham is an individual still. And above all, he has
a distinct heroic faith in the Divine mission of Israel." — The Expository Times.
"I am very much pleased writh the book. It is written in a taking, popular
style, and is at the same time strictly scholarly and critical. There is in my
opinion no other book in the English language that traverses the entire
ground of Hebrew history so satisfactorily within the compass of a handy
volume as this translation of Cornill's book. I expect to use it in class as a
reference book along with the works of Kent and McCurdy." — Ismar J.
Perits, Ph. D., Professor of Semitic Language and Archaeology, Syracuse
University.

"The book is beautifully printed, with liberal margins, well indexed, and
attractively bound. It is an excellent first book in the great history of which
it treats." — The Methodist Review.

EDWARD DRINKER COPE.

Among American naturalists COPE takes decidedly a most promi-
nent rank. His numerous original contributions to paleontology, and
observations in other lines have been largely accepted by his
colleagues, while his interpretation of the doctrine of evolution,
has been a powerful factor in the formation of modern thought.

A comprehensive handbook of the Neo-Lamarckian theory of
Evolution, drawing its main evidence from paleontology, as
distinguished from cecology (Darwin) and embryology (Weis-
mann). Discusses the "Energy of Evolution," and lays special
emphasis on the function of consciousness in organic develop-
ment.

"Will stand as the most concise and complete exposition of the doctrines of
the Neo-Lamarckian school hitherto published. A most valuable text-book

PROF. FRANZ CUMONT.

PROFESSOR FRANZ CUMONT is professor in the University of
Ghent, and one of the leaders of research in the domain of Persian
archaeology. He has made a specialty of Mithra, the Mithraic move-
ments and the religious movement of the significance of which they
testify. Considering the fact that Mithraism ivas once the rival of
Christianity, and further, that the two faiths have a close resem-
blance to each other, Prof. Cumont's labors may well be considered
as of utmost importance.

RICHARD DEDEKIND.

The mathematical reading public unacquainted with German is
under considerable obligation to Professor Beman for the present
faithful rendering of these two celebrated essays of Dedekind. Mod-
ern logical views of, continuity and arithmetic are largely based on
the results which Dedekind and his contemporary, G. Cantor, fur-
nished (the first of their essays was published in 1872), and it is
good that these investigations should be made accessible to all
readers in their original form. Furthermore, the German of these
essays is not easy reading, and the interpretation of the forms of
expression which Professor Beman has given and which has in-
volved considerable study, will also be welcome to readers of the
German original.

Essays on the Theory of Numbers.

(1) Continuity and Irrational Numbers, (2) The Nature
and Meaning of Numbers. By RICHARD DEDEKIND. From
the German by W. W. BEMAN. Pages, 115. Cloth, 75 cents
net. (3s. 6d. net.)

These essays mark one of the distinct stages in the develop-
ment of the theory of numbers. They give the foundation
upon which the whole science of numbers may be established.
The first can be read without any technical, philosophical or
mathematical knowledge ; the second requires more power of
abstraction for its perusal, but power of a logical nature only.

"A model of clear and beautiful reasoning." — Journal of Physical Chemistry.

"The work of Dedekind is very fundamental, and I am glad to have it in this
carefully wrought English version. I think the book should be of much
service to American mathematicians and teachers."

—Prof. E. H. Moore, University of Chicago.

"It is to be hoped that the translation will make the essays better known to
English mathematicians ; they are of the very first importance, and rank with
the work of Weierstrass, Kronecker, and Cantor in the same field." — Nature.

FRIEDRICH DELITZSCH.

The first of the Three Lectures made a great commotion in the relig-
ions world of Europe and America. It had to .be repeated in the
presence of the German Emperor, who took a great interest in the
results of Babylonian excavations as presented by this prominent
professor. A Hood of essays on the same subject appeared as a con-
sequence of Delitzsch's Babel and Bible, partly in support and partly
in criticism of his position, and the struggle about this mooted sub-
ject -constitutes a most interesting phase in the development of re-
ligious thought. The edition published by the Open Court Publish-
ing Company is the only English translation that contains the three
lectures complete, together with a survey of Babel and Bible litera-
ture, and a translation of the Emperor's letter. The freshness of
Delitzsch's style, the controversial tone, the vividness of description,
the contrast between the author's adversaries and liimself ,—cill this
adds a peculiar zest to the presentation of the remarkably interest-
ing facts which are a revelation to man\ unacquainted with the re-
sults of modern excavations.

ing the meaning of the Old Testament and in establishing its chronology,
no better reference work could be suggested than this timely book of Professor

"A good instance of the way in which conclusions of scholarly research may
be put into popular and readable form without impairing their interest for
scholars. In compact form is here presented much that is of value in showing
the indebtedness of the Hebrew writers to Babylonian civilization and litera-
ture."— The Outlook.

AUGUSTUS DE MORGAN (1806-1871.)

PROFESSOR DE MORGAN was a noted English mathematician
and logician, whose works, from his Elements of Arithmetic to his
most abstruse treatise on logic, even today surpass anything of the
kind written in English in their stimulating and seductive qualities.
Living in an age of scientific reform his richest ivork was in the
Held of the philosophy of science, contributing thus indirectly to
the advancement of pure mathematics. He was the founder of
the Logic of Relations, which taking advantage of the modern Alge-
bra of Logic founded by* Boole, has in our time been so signally pro-
moted by C. S. Peirce and Professor Schroder. Pedagogical sug-
gestions abound in his zvritings. For instance, it is little knozv-n that
he advocated the method, only recently introduced in our schools, of
teaching children to read English b\ complete words to partially
do away zvith the difficulties of inconsistent spelling.

cism it can furnish to the more experienced, make its possession most de-
sirable."— Michigan Alumnus.

RENE DESCARTES.

DESCARTES, himself a creative mathematician, undertook his
reform of philosophy from the conviction that rational science is
mathematics. He claimed that the first task of philosophy is an-
alytic, the- second synthetic; that analysis should lead to a single
principle from which all further truths might be deduced. This
thought receives its classical expression in the Meditations in which
the author carries on a dramatic dialogue with himself. It is in
this exposition that he gives utterance to the famous dictum, "cogito,
ergo sum."

HUGO DE VRIES.

Since the days of Darwin no one among naturalists has found such
a universal recognition of prime consequence as has de Fries with
his new interpretation of the doctrine of evolution as it appears in
his books on the mutation theory. Though his publications are still
recent there is a unanimous consent concerning their importance,
and even his adversaries recognise their paramount significance.
The belief has prevailed for more than half a century that species
are changed into new types very sloivly and that thousands of years
were necessary for the development of a new species of animal or
plant. After twenty years of arduous investigation Professor de
Vries has ascertained that new species may orignate by "mutation"
that is to say, suddenly, bv jumps. In conjunction with this dis-
covery he offers an explanation of the qualities of living organisms
on the basis of the conception of unit-characters. The announce-
ment of the results in question has excited more interest among
naturalists than any, publication since the appearance of Darwin's
Origin of Species, and marks the beginning of a new epoch in the
history of evolution.

"The subject is fascinating and the treatment given it by Prof, de Vries is
adequate. It is technical, to be sure, but of a technicality that is not above
the comprehension of the most unlearned reader. The admirable photo-
graphic illustrations give point to the text. To any one who is at all inter-
ested in flowers, fruits or vegetables this book will be a source of great profit
and pleasure." — Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The contents of the book include a readable and orderly reci-
tal of the facts 'and details which furnish the basis for the
mutation-theory of the origin of species. The more reliable
historical data are cited and the results obtained by Professor
de Vries in the Botanical Garden at Amsterdam during the
twenty years of observations are described. Not the least
important service rendered by Professor de Vries in the prep-
aration of these lectures consists in the indication of definite
specific problems that need investigation, many of which may
be profitably taken up by any one in a small garden. He has
rescued the subject of evolution from the thrall of polemics
and brought it once more within reach of the great mass of
naturalists, any one of whom may reasonably hope to contrib-
ute something to its advancement by orderly observations.

"It is evident that the new theory of mutations must be recognized in all dis-
cussions of questions as to origin and development. For instance, if the
empirical view of consciousness be taken, why should it not be quite possible
that this has appeared in the phylogenetic development of certain species as a
mutation ? And what becomes of those arguments for design which have
been based on adaptation by slow accumulative changes ? Evidently the work
of De Vries may well prove to be an epoch-making contribution to the advance
of knowledge. It makes the study of evolution in part experimental, modifies
the current views as to origin, selection and adaptation, and finds a place
for non-heredity and discontinuity, for chance and irregularity."

— Edward G. Spaulding In The Philosophical Review.

"There is no need to commend the book. It is indispensable, inasmuch as it
is the only available account of Prof, de Vries's work in English, so far."

— Nature.

ALBERT J. EDMUNDS.

MR. EDMUNDS is thoroughly conversant with Pali literature
as well as New Testament criticism. He is a member of the Orien-
tal Society, of Philadelphia, Honorary member and American Rep-
resentative of the International Buddhist Society of Rangoon, and
is a translator of various Buddhist sacred writings from the Pali.

Buddhist and Christian Gospels.

Now first compared from the Originals. Being "Gospel Par-
allels from Pali Texts" reprinted with Additions. By
ALBERT J. EDMUNDS. Third edition. Edited with parallels
and notes from the Chinese Buddhist Tripitaka by M. AN-
ESAKI. Pages, xiii, 230. Price $1.50 net.

The most remarkable feature of this work is the fact that all
Mr. Edmunds's translations from the Pali have been com-
pared with Chinese versions of the early Christian centuries
by his Japanese editor, M. Anesaki, Professor of Comparative
Religion at Tokyo, who has a thorough command of the
Chinese sacred books of Buddhism. The book contains eighty-
eight parallels from the canonical Scriptures and an appendix
of uncanonical parallels, such as the Wandering Jew. Many
are here unearthed for the first time. Four parallels are verbal
agreements, the majority being in ideas alone. The book is
printed in Japan under extraordinary difficulties and is the
pioneer work for further labors in the same direction.

"In all respects this work has been well done. It is characterized throughout
by becoming seriousness, by exact scholarship, and by broad culture ; and the
clearness and beauty of the page do great credit to the Yuhokwan Publishing
House, Tokyo, "by whom the book was issued."

— The Princeton Theological Review.

"This bookful of parallels is not gathered in vain. It speaks of a deeper
matter than imitation. It throws a new light on the whole study of religion,
on the whole problem of the religious life." — The Expository Times.

TH. EIMER.

PROFESSOR EIMER was the teacher of Professor Weismann
at Tubingen. He has written voluminous works and his system
has received much attention in Germany. His theory is based mainly
on the observation of butterflies while his famous disciple, Weis-
mann, relies chiefly on the generalization of facts derived from the
observation of ants. Although they remained personal friends, they
differ in their conclusions.

The pamphlet On Orthogenesis (i. e.} evolution in a definitely deter-
mined direction) is a condensed statement of his theory made by the
professor's ozvn hand, and it acquires an additional zest by being a
tilt at arms directed against Weismann's Germinal Selection (see
below page

On Orthogenesis.

Or the Impotence of Darwinian Selection in the Formation
of Species. By TH. EIMER, Professor of Zoology in the Uni-
versity of Tubingen. Translated by THOMAS J. McCoR-
MACK. 19 cuts. Pages, 56. Paper, 30 cents. (Is. 6d.)
Prof. Eimer is a Neo-Lamarckian and his special doctrine of or-
thogenesis is declared to be a universally valid law, framed
to show that organisms develop in definite directions, without
regard for utility, through purely physiological causes, through
the transmission of acquired characters, through the combined
agency of the constitution of the animal and the effects of
outward influences.

GUSTAV THEODOR FECHNER. (1801-1887.)

PROFESSOR FECHNER'S name is best known in connection
with Fechner's Laiv in the science of physics, which is an applica-
tion of Weber's law for physical measurements. Although Profes-
sor of physics he was greatly interested in psychology and in the
relation between the two sciences, and became one of the founders
of the new science of psychophysics based upon the obvious inter-
relation between sensation and nerve-activity. He was most at-
tracted by those psychological problems which deal with the re-
ligious aspect of the soul and its future existence, and was inclined
to attribute an objective existence to spirits. Though differing in
this latter respect from the views represented by. The Open Court
Publishing Company, his book is, nevertheless, sympathetically re-
freshing, inasmuch as his exposition of soul-life after death insists
vigorously on the reality of the spiritual life which plays so essen-
tial a part in the constitution of our individual existence.

"I wish to congratulate you and the translator upon the beautiful transla-

"The author of this book holds that 'the spirits of the dead continue to
exist as individuals in the living/ and has worked out this idea in quaint
suggestions and meditations which will interest many and perhaps will add
somewhat of illumination to their eager gaze into the world beyond death.
It is devout, hopeful and confident of a kind of a personal immortality."

JOHANN GOTTLIEB FICHTE. (1762-1814.)

Everyone familiar with the history of German Philosophy recog-
nizes the importance of Fichte's position in its development. His
idealism was the best exposition of the logical outcome of Kant's
system in one of its principal aspects, ivhile it ivas also the natural
precursor of Hegel's philosophy. But the intrinsic value of Fichte's
writings has too often been overlooked. His lofty ethical tone, the
keenness of his mental ^nsion and the purity of his style render his
works a stimulus and a source of satisfaction to every intelligent
reader. Of all his many books, that best adapted to excite an inter-
est in his philosophic thought is the Vocation of Man, which con-
tains many of his most fruitful ideas and is an excellent example of
the spirit and method of his teaching.

The Vocation of Man.

By JOHANN GOTTLIEB FICHTE. Translated by William Smith,
LL.D. Reprint Edition. With biographical introduction by
E. Ritchie, Ph. D. 1906. Pages, 185. Cloth, 75 cents net. (3s.
6d. net.)

"Those who read these pages will, no doubt, agree with the translator that
but few earnest students of speculative thought will give their unqualified
assent to Fichte's system as a whole, and also that fewer still will fail to glean
something of value for thinking and living from the harvest of his philosophy."

— Reformed Church Messenger.

PROFESSOR FINK'S History of Mathematics proved its useful-
ness before it was translated into English, This is not a book of
anecdotes, nor one of biography ; but a clear and brief statement of
the facts of mathematical history. An invaluable ivork for teachers
of mathematics.

A Brief History of Mathematics.

By the late DR. KARL FINK, Tubingen, Germany. Translated
by Wooster Woodruff Beman, Professor of Mathematics in
the University of Michigan, and David Eugene Smith, Pro-

GUSTAV FREYTAG. (1816-1895.)

GUSTAV FREYTAG displays a deep insight into the human sou!,
and presents to his readers an exposition of the psychology of social
development in the form of charming and artistic romances. TJie
monistic conception of the soul was never expressed in a clearer
and yet more popular manner than in The Lost Manuscript.

The Lost Manuscript.

By GUSTAV FREYTAG. A Novel. Authorized translation from
the sixteenth German edition. Two volumes. Pages, ()53.
Extra cloth, boxed, gilt top, $4.00. (21s.) ; the same in one
volume, cloth, $1.00. (5s.)

As a motto* for the American Edition the author writes :
"A noble human life does not end on earth with death. It
continues in the minds and the deeds of friends, as well as in
the thought and activity of the nation."

Gustav Freytag did not write his novel with the intention of
teaching psychology or preaching ethics. But the impartial
description of life does teach ethics, and every poet is a psychol-
ogist in the sense that he portrays human souls.

"Gustav Freytag anticipated the results that have lately been established by
the experiments of modern psychology in this remarkable novel, which in
more than one respect incorporates the spirit of the times. It is more than
an ordinary story. It deals with great subjects, compelling thought. Yet
at the same time it is interesting!)' told and highly entertaining."

Martin Luther.

By GUSTAV FREYTAG. Now translated for the first time from
the famous "Bilder aus der deutschen \ ergangenheit." 26
illustrations. Pages, 130. Cloth, gilt top, $1.00 net. (5s.)

"Upon a fair and liberal estimate of Luther's character and influence the
author draws a series of brilliant pictures of the most salient points in the re-
former's career. He wrrites with admiration, sympathy and humor, and the
brief narrative is made fuller by a number of illustrations taken from old
German prints and manuscripts. The translation" is well done, and serves the
purpose of making real and vivid to English readers this man of extraordinary
resolution and influence upon his contemporaries and posterity."

— Philadelphia Public Ledger.

"Freytag's vigorous sketch of Luther as he stands, like Thor of old, enveloped
in murky clouds while the lightning flashes and the thunder-hammer booms,
serves well to illustrate the climax of that great struggle which forms the
innermost kernel of medieval history — the struggle between the iron-heeled
collectivism of the Romans and the fierce individualism of the Germanic
races." — Chicago Tribune.

'The temper of this essay is admirable; it is critical, but also fair; the author

The Redemption of the Brahman.

By RICHARD GARBE, Professor in the University of Tuebingen.
A novel. Pages, 96. Laid paper. Veg. parch, binding, gilt
top, 75 cents. (3s. 6d.)

Portrays the struggles of an enlightened young Brahman, who
has the decision to make between the customs of his country
and religion and the dictates of reason and duty. A charming
picture of the religio-social life of India as affected by European
influences.

"This is a delightful story of modern India — not of English life in India,
but of native Indian life. It gives, incidentally, an insight into the Hindu
caste system, and, all in all, is a very pleasing tale of the power of love to
break the power of tradition and prejudice." — Buffalo Christian Advocate.
"This little tale is not only a fascinating sketch of the religious life of the
native Indians, but also a picture of the aspirations which in exceptional
cases prompt faithful believers among the Brahmans, like so many Christians
of Europe and America, to outgrow the old rituals and ceremonies of a
dogmatic and narrowly sectarian worship, and to widen into a cosmic religion
of humanitarianism." — Chicago Evening Post.

PROFESSOR GUNKEL is a man of the highest reputation as a
scholar. He is one of the foremost contemporary authorities on the
subject of Old Testament Theology, in which department he was
professor at the University of Berlin since 1894, when he received
the appointment at a remarkably early age. At present he holds
the chair of Old Testament Theology at Giessen. His great learning
is attested mainly by, his ^vorks, "Schopfung und Chaos," and a com-
mentary on Genesis. The former points out the lingering influences
of Babylonian culture on our religion, the latter is the most exhaus-
tive exposition of all the exegetic material of this most intricate
book of the Old Testament. Its Introduction gives a synopsis of the
deductions which are developed in detail in the main work. It is a
translation of this Introduction which has been presented by Pro-
fessor Carruth to the English reading public under the title, The
Legends of Genesis.

SIR WALTER CAINE HILLIER, C. B.

SIR WALTER CAINE HILLIER is professor of Chinese in
King's College, London. Ever since several years before his
majority he has, in one capacity or another, been officially connected
with the British diplomatic service in China in such a way as made
necessary the constant study of the Chinese language, and he has
produced a book of instruction for those who would learn the
language that is by far the best in existence. We learn from private
sources that this book is being officially prescribed by the British
authorities for the preparation of their candidates for office in their
colonies in China. The author says, "The present work is intended
to meet the wants of those who think they would like to learn
Chinese, but are discouraged by the sight of the formidable text
books with which the aspiring student is confronted."

THOMAS HOBBES. (1588-1679.)

HOBBES'S fame as a political writer and moralist has unjustly
obscured to some extent his merit as an ontologist and psychologist,
for his name stands for sensualism and he was really the forerunner
of materialism and modern positivism. He maintained that only
material things could be the object of thought; therefore that
philosophy cannot treat of spirit and God, but that these belong only
to the realm of theological speculation. From these premises he
argues a wholly materialistic theory of perception. Later Berkeley
followed a similar line of argument but carried it further, thus reach-
ing the opposite conclusion; for proceeding from sensualistic prem-
ises he finally denies the existence of matter and thus arrives at a
subjective idealism. The kernel of Hobbes's metaphysical theory
is in the folloiving sentence from his essay De Cor pore: "The world
(I mean . . . the zvhole mass of all things that are) is corporeal, that
is to say, body; . . . and that which is not body is no part of the
universe."

The Metaphysical System of Hobbes,

As contained in twelve chapters from his "Elements of Phil-
osophy Concerning Body," and in briefer extracts from his
"Human Nature" and "Leviathan." Selected by MARY
WHITON. CALKINS. Pages, xxv, 187. Cloth. Price,' 75 cents
net. (3s. net.)

This volume aims to supply the need of an historically valuable
summary of materialistic doctrine and to give an adequate im-
pression of the De Corpora and Hobbes's treatment of material-
ism in "Human Nature" and "Leviathan."

GEORGE JACOB HOLYOAKE.

MR. HOLYOAKE was the founder of the Secularist movement in
England and the originator of the name. Secularism espouses the
cause of the world against that of theology and claims that religion
ought never to be anything but the individual's own private affair.
Mr. Holyoake's "Confession of Belief" is as concise as possible,
and, since he is the standard bearer of Secularism, he speaks with
authority. The Open Court Publishing Company does not agree
with his conviction in regard to religious matters, but it recognises
his sincerity and integrity and has presented his book to the public
in the belief that the first condition of a reconciliation between the
two parties within and without the church would be for religious
men to listen patiently to the complaints made by sincere and sen-
sible adversaries of the church.

strong, an uncompromising but just antagonist."

EVARISTE REGIS HUC. (1813-1860.)

M. HUC is known as one of the first Western authorities^ on
Chinese customs and religion. The publication of his "Travels'' in
French in 1850 was soon followed by two works on "The Chinese
Empire" and "Christianity in China." Material for all these works
was obtained during the eventful journey, through the Orient which
he pursued in company with M. Gabet, another Lazarist missionary.
They were very clever in their missionary work — running as ser-
pents and yet as guileless as children. With the spirit of St. Paul
they adopted the Chinese manner of dress while in the Celestial
Empire, but cut off their queues and dressed as lamas when in
Tibet. In Lhassa they were treated with the greatest respect by the
Regent, but the representative of the Chinese government insisted
on their exile and their interesting visit came to an end, quite in
opposition to the Regent's ivishcs.

Among his contemporaries HUME was more admired for his

says Weber (History of Philosophy, p. 418 n.)t "Our age has
reversed this opinion. Hume, the spiritual father of Kant, now
takes precedence over Hume, the rival of Robertson and Gibbon."
His views followed Locke's empiricism to a consistent conclusion,
and marked the beginning of modern philosophy by substituting
criticism for metaphysicism.

"Is one of the most thoughtful and stimulating of recent publications. . . .
In .these pages are discussed, in frank, manly, straightforward manner, many
of the themes that are most vital to the race. . . . We may not agree

all his argument, nor the force of his facts, and we shall all find in his pages
very much food for profitable meditation." — The Chicago Chronicle.

"Not the least of the virtues of those essays is their stimulating vigor of
thought. Dr. Hutchinson owes allegiance to no school; what he gives us is
plainly the outcome of earnest personal thought. . . . No amount of
disagreement on minor matters can blind the impartial reader to the manifest
virtues of the book as a whole ; to the width of knowledge displayed, the keen
desire for truth, the terse and picturesque style, the originality and independ-
ence of mind." — The Saturday Weekly Citizen, Glasgow.

Conviction that evolution has vitalized religion by infusing into it a new and
higher conception of God and the universe." — Cumberland Presbyterian.

"The title may frighten away some very orthodox people, yet there is nothing
very alarmingly radical in Darwinism, after all. And this book is written
not to give offense to religionists, but in the cheery spirit of one who believes
there is a nobler, broader conception in the advancement of the race than in
the mere uplifting and salvation of the individual. Since we must fall in the
race, let us fall forward, not for any gain to ourselves in any hereafter, but
because it less impedes the progress of those behind us who have not yet
fallen. That is his gospel." — Newark Daily Advertiser.

"We can commend Dr. Hutchinson for having given us a cheerful, wise and
instructive series of Darwinian sermons. We should add that he has also
some very serious and necessary things to say about the population question
and others related to it." — Westminster Review.

with the " Sunday feeling" and the psychological effect of customary
public worship as they impress different people. ' The purpose of

IMMANUEL KANT.

KANT is the first philosopher who has formulated the philosophical
problem, and Jiis oicn solution is presented in his Critique of Pure
Reason. But the key to a comprehension of this work is contained
in his Prolegomena, which is one of the most important philosophical
books ever written. No one can understand Kant who has not
studied his Prolegomena, and no one knows what philosophy means
unless he is familiar zvith Kant. See also s. v. Cams, page 47.

G. T. KNIGHT, D. D.

PROFESSOR KNIGHT has been teaching in the Crane Theo-
logical School for thirty years, during the greater part of which
time he has been a profound student of Christian theology. At
present he has in preparation a monumental work of several vol-
umes, giving the ripe results of modern thought and scholarship
to the old questions concerning God and man. Personally, Dr.
Knight is a man of sincerity, devotion and solidity of judgment.
He is modest withal, and possesses a lurking sense of humor. He
is keen to see the difference between profession and performance.

JOSEPH LOUIS LAGRANGE. (1737-1813.)

Though born in Turin, and President of the Academy of Sciences at
Berlin under Frederick the Great for twenty years, Lagrange came
of an old French family of Touraine, said to be allied to that of
Descartes. At the age of nineteen he had made the greatest dis-
covery in mathematics since that of the infinitesimal calculus, namely,
the creation of the method of the Calculus of Variations. At the
age of twenty-sir he was at the zenith of European fame, but perma-
nently broken in health, although by remarkable care of himself he
lived to the age of seventy-seven. He lived for nothing but science, but
though conversant with all branches, including medicine, he knew
his forte and rarely expressed an opinion on anything that zvas
not connected with mathematics.

GOTTFRIED WILHELM VON LEIBNIZ (1646-

1716.)

It would be difficult to overestimate the importance or mag-
nitude of the labors of Leibniz. His attainments are universal. He
distinguished himself alike in history, jurisprudence, logic, meta-
physics, mechanics, and mathematics, being joint founder of the
infinitesimal calculus and inventor of the symbol of integration.
With Descartes Leibniz affirmed that everything in nature can be
explained mechanically; that occult causes must never be assigned to
phenomena; but he differed from Descartes in insisting that the
source of mechanicalism is in metaphysics. An excellent survey of
Leibniz's thought is furnished by, these three treatises which form a
logical whole.

with Arnauld, and Monadology.

"To understand and to feel the force and naturalness of Leibniz's thought
one should approach his system through the Discours de Metaphysique. Dr.
Montgomery's book should receive a warm welcome from students and teach-
ers of philosophy, and from all who would become acquainted with the stimu-
lating thought of one who contests with Aristotle the right to be called the
most comprehensive intellect which the race has produced."

The plan was originally conceived to have the history of modern
philosophy presented to the world in separate -works, each one de-
voted to that portion belonging to one country and ivritten by a phil-
osopher, or scholar of that nationality. To this end Professor Levy-
Bruhl has contributed such a history as relates to France, and though
it is a matter of regret that the project has not been carried out in
other instances, we are thankful for the incentive which produced
this work for France. The English version was prepared by Miss
Coblence under the revision of Professor W. H. Carruth, of the
University of Kansas.

"It- is a remarkably handsome volume . . . The illustrations are truly

'The book is well written, and is valuable as an effort to give a continuous
account of French philosophy during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nine-
teenth centuries. The fact that it comes from the pen of a Frenchman lends
it a special interest and value, for we have been too much accustomed of late
to view the history of philosophy from the German standpoint."

knowledge conies from experience. His most important philqsophi-

EMILIE HYACINTHE LOYSON.

The celebrated French orator and theologian, Father Hyacinthe
Loyson, who has been prominently before the zvorld because of his
stand in behalf of Catholic reform, together with his zealous and
energetic wife, Mme. Emilie Hyacinthe Loyson, spent the years
1894-1896 in traveling through Northern Africa and Asia Minor.
Their purpose was to become better acquainted with the people and
ideals of Islam and to use their influence toward bringing to pass
within the world's monotheistic faiths (Christianity, Judaism and
Islam) the realization that since each worships the One Cod, all are
but brothers in the worship of the same All-Father. The record of
this journey is told in Mme. Loyson' s book. The Expository Times
of London sa\s:

"This remarkable book, the work of one of the most remarkable
women of our time, the joint work, rather, of a remarkable woman
and a remarkable man, — for Pcre Hyacinthe is joint-author of it
from cover to cover though he is not the writer of it, — this remark-
able book is beyond the skill of the reviewer. It would be easy to
blame it. Men in a hurry for copy, or in a hate at Pcre Hyacinthe,
will fill their columns with quite plausible matter for blame, and
salt it well with superiority. But when the most is said this is what
it will come to, that Madame Hyacinthe Loyson remembers the
•icords, 'He that is not against us is on our part,' and remembers that
they arc the words of her dear Lord. He who should say that she
exalts the Koran above the Bible, that she sees only the good in
Islam, only, the evil in Christendom, gives himself into her hands.
For she writes down what her own eyes have seen; and though she
has many examples of Christian prejudice and many of Muslim
charity to record, she never for one moment finds Muhammad stand-
ing in her thoughts beside Christ. All that it -comes to in the end
is this, that Christians arc rarely true to Christ, Muslims arc often
much better than Muhammad."

"Her real interests are religious, and the volume should be read as a most
attractive text-book in tolerance." — The World Today.

"This is one of the handsomest books of oriental travel which we know. The
book pays special attention to the religious conditions of the Copts, Jews and
Moslems of the East. It presents a tremendous indictment of the liquor
traffic in Malta and elsewhere. The white man's vices are the greatest ob-
struction to the mission work in the non-Christian world."

— Methodist Magazine and Review.

"Mme. Loyson, despite her excessive iteration of rather explosive comment,
is a woman who cannot help being interesting, so her descriptions of places
and account of personal experiences in Egypt and Jerusalem and elsewhere
are immensely interesting, and make the reader seem to see it all."

— Chicago Evening Post.

"Her notes of social visits give interesting pictures of Arab manners. The
Arabs she pronounces 'the best behaved and most forbearing people in the
world, and not unlike 'the best type of our New Englanders.' She evidently
moved in the best society, but even among the common people she noted
points in which Christians might learn of Mohammedans. Polygamy, how-
ever, is noted as the black spot on the brow of Islam. Evidently the tour of
the Loysons accomplished good. It were well if all missionaries were ani-
mated by their spirit.' The volume is handsomely printed and illustrated:'

ERNST MACH. (1838.)

PROFESSOR MACH, the philosopher among physicists, has per-
haps, for the first time in the history of natural science, called atten-
tion to the significance of method, which led to the creation of a new
Chair at the University of Vienna, that of Scientific Method, of
which he ^vas the first incumbent. On the basis of pure experi-
ence he characterizes the nature of science as an economy of thought,
and has carried out this fundamental idea in all his books, ivhich
are distinguished by thoroughness as zvell as clearness and accu-
racy.

"There is no work known to the writer which in its general scientific bearing
is more likely to repay richly thorough study. We are all interested in nature
in one way or another, and onr interests can only be heightened and clarified
by Mach's wonderfully original and wholesome book." — Prof. J. E. Trevor in

{'A remarkable work." — Nature.

"Maclrs Mechanics is unique. It is not a text-book, but forms a useful sup-
plement to the ordinary text-book. The latter is usually a skeleton outline,
full of mathematical symbols and other abstractions. Mach's book has 'mus-
cle and clothing,' and being written from the historical standpoint, introduces
the leading contributors in succession, tells what they did and how they did
it, and often what manner of men they were. Thus it is that the pages glow,
as it were, with a certain humanism, quite delightful in a scientific book.
. . . The book is handsomely printed, and deserves a warm reception from
all interested in the progress of science."

— The Physical Review, New York and London.

"The book as a whole is unique, and is a valuable addition to any library of
science or philosophy. . . . Reproductions of quaint old portraits and
vignettes -give piquancy to the pages. The numerous marginal titles form
a complete epitome of the work; and there is that invaluable adjunct, a good
index. Altogether the publishers are to be congratulated upon producing a
technical work that is thoroughly attractive in its make-up."

— Prof. D. W. Hering, in Science.

"A masterly book. ... To any one who feels that he does not know as
much as he ought to about physics, we can commend it most heartily as a
scholarly and able treatise . . . both interesting and profitable."

— A. M. Wellington, in Engineering News, New York.

"Sets forth the elements of its subject with a lucidity, clearness, and force
unknown in the mathematical text-books ... is admirably fitted to serve
students as an introduction on historical lines to the principles of mechanical
science." — Canadian Mining and Mechanical Review, Ottawa, Can.

lation. No instructor in physics should be without a copy of it." — Henry

profound researches have gained for him an authoritative and
commanding position.

While in most works on the foundations of geometry one point
of view only is emphasized — be it that of logic, epistemology,
psychology, history, or the formal technology of the science —
here light is shed upon the subject from all points of view
combined, and the different sources from which the many
divergent forms that the science of space has historically as-
sumed, are thus shown forth with a distinctness and precision
that in suggestiveness at least leave little to be desired.
Any reader who possesses a slight knowledge of mathematics
may derive from these essays a very adequate idea of the ab-
struse yet important researches of metageometry.

"The leader in the biological movement in mathematical thought is Professor
Mach, -whose Popular Scientific Lectures and Science of Mechanics have
quickened and enlightened both scientific and philosophic thought throughout
the western world. The book in hand ought to be read and pondered by
every teacher of mathematics and every educated parent. . . . The Kant-
ian philosopher will find here reason to reconsider h.is master's doctrine
of space and time. The psychologist will gain startling glimpses of the
relations of modern psychology to modern mathematics. And the mathema-
tician of the analyst type will gain a wholesome sense of the fact that the
purest offspring of his thought may trace a legitimate genealogy back and
down to physical and physiological parentage. Indeed, the stream of the
author's discourse contains the waters of many confluent sciences. The
translation is well-nigh perfect. And the publishers are again to be con-
gratulated on their excellent judgment and their generosity in the service
of science." — The Nation.

LAWRENCE HEYWORTH MILLS, D. D.

PROFESSOR MILLS holds the Chair of Zend philology at
Oxford, England, and is the leading authority on Zarathushtrian
religion and literature. He is an American by birth and early edu-
cation, but left for Europe in 1872, living first as Associate Rector
of the American Episcopal Church in Florence, where he became
especially interested in the dualism of the Avcsta, having been led on
to this subject through the study of the Gnostic Philosophy. Find-
ing that he could not pursue his studies as he unshed and perform
his pastoral duties he finally resigned the latter and began to re-read
the Greeks and Germans, especially Kant. Removing to Germany
in 1877 he there began to print his edition of the Gathas, and in
1883 undertook the translation of the Zend Avcsta for the Sacred
Books of the East at the urgent invitation of Professors Max Miil-
Icr and Darmesteter. It ivas to see this book through the press
that Professor Mills first came to Oxford. Through his influence
the university was presented with two priceless gifts, the oldest
manuscript of the Yasna, and the oldest one that is accompanied by
a Sanskrit translation. He has borrowed many other valuable
codices and had them photographed and hopes to leave to the Bod-
leian Library at his death the finest collection of Parsi manuscripts
in Europe. He has begun a dictionary of the Gathic Language of
the 2.end Avcsta which is ncaring completion, and is constantly
engaged in editing various rare Pahlavi tc.vts.

mesteter's view that the Gathas were written about the be-
ginning of our era. It offers the results of an investigation
and comparison of the relations that obtain between our own
religion, Christianity — including its sources in the Old Testa-
ment scriptures — and the Zenda vesta. This subject is of vital
importance in theology, for the influence of Persia on Israel
and also on the foundation of the Christian faith has been
paramount, and a proper knowledge of its significance is in-
dispensable for a comprehension of the origin of our faith.
"The present volume amply meets all expectations. The antiquity of the
Zoroastrian literature is successfully maintained, and in such a manner that
ordinary readers can appreciate the argument. The conclusions come with
great force in support of the genuineness and authenticity of the biblical ref-
erences to Cyrus in the Old Testament. Students of the literature of the
Captivity will find the volume invaluable. The facts now brought to light
are such as the literary critics cannot afford to neglect." — Bibliotheca Sacra.
"This study, by an accomplished Oriental scholar, of the relativity of the

FRIEDRICH MAX MULLER. (1823-1890.)

To the unlearned ivorld at large Max Midler stood for the per-
sonification of philological scholarship, which he knew how to make
intelligible and attractive to the popular mind. But his researches
comprehended all departments of philosophy and religion and as a
shaper of popular scientific thought he may be said to rank with
Huxley and Tyndall. When he undertook the editing of the Sacred
Books of the East it was with the secret hope that the publication
of canons of other religions would produce a kindlier feeling
toward alien races and cause people to understand and appreciate
their own religion more fairly and fully. Philosophically Max Miil-
ler stands for the doctrine of the identity of language and thought.
He disclaimed being a philologist in the purely technical sense and
considered himself the founder of a new Science of Language.
To him — and here he follows Ludwig Noire — the problem of the
origin of language was the problem of the origin of thought, and
the solutions of the science of thought he sought in the researches
of the science of language.

Three Introductory Lectures on the Science of
Thought.

With a correspondence on ''Thought Without Words," be-
tween F. Max Miiller and Francis Galton, the Duke of Argyll,
George J. Romanes and others. Professor Max Miiller sets
forth in this book his view of the identity of Language and
Thought, which is a further development of Ludwig Noire's
theory that "man thinks because he speaks."

guage and Thought; and (3) The Simplicity of Thought.
By PROF. F. MAX MULLER. Pages, 128. Cloth, 75 cents.
"The ripe expression of a life-long labor in the study of the science of lan-
guage."— Scotsman, Edinburgh.

"The work is attractively got up, and simply invaluable, not only to the
student of language and thought in relationship to language, but to the gen-

MULLER (Con.)

Prof. F. Max Miiller points out that the difference between
man and animal is due to language, yet there is no mystery
in language. Thought is thicker than blood, and the bonds
of the same language and the same ideas are stronger than
family or race.

"Max Miiller's supremely simple theory is hotly disputed, but it is easily
vindicated, provided one is not a dualist on principle."

— The Beacon, Boston.

"The subject is admirably handled with that vigor and clearness which char-
acterize all the utterances of Max Miiller. The little volume will be a delight
to every intelligent reader, for it is rich in thought, most clearly expressed,
and vigorously put." — Christian Work,

ELMER ELLSWORTH POWELL, PH. D.

DR. POWELL occupies the chair of philosophy at Miami Uni-
versity. He has given special study to the philosophy of Spinoza.
In his recent icork "Spinoza and Religion" he has undertaken "a
study of Spinoza's metaphysics and of his particular utterances in
regard to religion with a view to determine the significance of his
thought for religion and incidentally his personal attitude to it."

(7s. 6d.)

For a characterization of Spinoza, and the notice of his own
work on Descartes, see p. 155.

'That the author has the type and furnishings of mind requisite for a scien-
tific and scholarly study of his subject becomes at once manifest."

— Louisville Review and Expositor.

''Throughout, the author demonstrates his familiarity with the field and his
liveliness of interest The style is excellent." — The Nation.

"It is an exceedingly attractive presentation of the life and times of Spinoza
and of his attitude towards scholarship and truth."— Journal of Education.

"It is a particularly illuminating exposition of the whole subject that is here
given by Professor Powell. ... A book of uncommon intelligence,
acumen and carefulness of investigation." — The Chicago Evening Post.

"His work is likely to affect current opinion as to the general position of
Spinoza in the course of religious thought. He will have to be counted
with, by every student of philosophy and religion, and should be specially
studied by those who claim that Spinoza is specifically a Jewish philosopher."

— The American Hebrew.

"He is especially well qualified for the task he has undertaken ; first, because
he has pursued the study of philosophy con amove, and, secondly, because
he has given much attention to the system of Spinoza and made it the subject
of special investigation. He speaks, therefore, as an expert — and he writes
clearly and with keen discrimination." — Reformed Church Review.

"Professor Powell has produced an exceedingly able and authoritative book.
Few will read it without feeling that it settles for them the question of
Spinoza's real attitude to God and to religion And those who read it will
obtain incidentally the benefit of a clear and consistent presentation of the
whole philosophic system of one of the most difficult to understand of all the
great thinkers of European history." — The Glasgow Herald.

"We commend it to those who are interested in the history of philosophy, of
which this is an important chapter. The author has applied himself dili-
gently to his subject and made use of the latest and best authorities."

JOHN WESLEY POWELL. (1834-1902.)

Since the death of Major Powell it has become more and more
apparent zvhat a great and extraordinary man the world has lost
in him. He zvas a born commander and a hero who lost his right
arm on the Held of battle. But he was more. He was also an orig-
inal thinker, and Chough self-taught, his philosophy was sound and
directed along right lines. He recognized the paramount impor-
tance of anthropology and so became the founder of the Bureau
of Anthropology at Washington which has accomplished so much
valuable work. The present volume contains an exposition of his
philosophical thought.

Geological Survey. Pages, 423. Cloth, gilt top, $1.75. (7s.

"Major Powell is a versatile, brilliant, patient, and earnest thinker and writer.
His volume is burdened with a costly and splendid array of facts. And while
this is all true, yet this is not a tithe of the value of the volume. Its intrinsic
value is in the systematisation of modern thought. . . . There is. a charm
in his directness. No qualification, no ambiguity, no affectation. 'I hold,' 'I
deny,' ring like the strokes of hammer on brazen casque."

THEODULE RIBOT.

The French have taken a leading part in psychology, and among
French savants no one exceeds Professor Ribot of the College de
France and editor of the Revue Philosophique, who is distinguished
by his critical ability in sifting the enormous amount of material on
hand and presenting the several psychological problems' in lucid and
concise monographs. His works have always been extremely pop-
ular iwth the general reading public as well as with the scientific
world. The Review of Revieivs has said: (( Ribot' s works, while
scientific to the extreme, are written in so <clear a style and are so
representative of one of the great lines of study in our day that
thc\ appeal to an\ intelligent reader who is interested in the prob-
lems of psychology."

The Diseases of Personality.

By TH. RIBOT. Fourth edition. Authorized translation.

Pages, 157. Cloth. 75 cents. (3s. 6d.)

Contents: Introduction, Consciousness; Organic Disorders;

Affective Disorders; Diseases of the Intellect; Dissolution of

Personality.

"The work is one of deep thought, exact research, and wide reading. Every
sentence is to the point." — Gentleman's Magazine.

"It is a book for physician and psychologist, for teacher and parent, written
in attractive and intelligible style and to be recommended for especial coi
sideration in these nervous days." — Boston Commonwealth.

By TH. RIBOT. Authorized translation. Third edition. Pages
vi, 121. Cloth. 75 cents. ' (3s. 6d.)

Contains chapters on Impairments of the Will and of Volun-
tary Attention, the Realm of Caprices, and Extinction of the
Wi'll.

"The lawyer, the physician and the professional alienist will find this book
valuable — especially the author's dissertation upon that strange malady called
abulia, the victim of which knows how to will mentally, according to the
dictates of reason, but is powerless to act accordingly."

— Chicago Evening Post.

''Students of psychology may read this book with profit, and all who love to
reflect upon the movements of the mind under the direction of inhibitions oi
volition will be entertained by it. It will prove profitable to physician, jurist,
or divine." — Alienist and Neurologist, St. Louis.

Essay on the Creative Imagination.

By PROF. TH. RIBOT. Translated from the French by A. H.
N. BARON, Fellow in Clark University. 1906. Cloth, gilt
top. Pages, 357. $1.75 net. (7s. 6d. net.)
The book contains an introductory chapter on the motor na-
ture of the constructive imagination. Part I. analyzes the im-
agination, into its intellectual, emotional, and unconscious fac-
tors, its organic conditions and the principle of unity ; Part
II. treats of the development of the imagination in animals,
children, primitive man, and the higher forms of invention ;
Part III. enumerates the principal types of imagination, plastic,
diffluent, mystic, scientific, practical and mechanical, commer-
cial, and Utopian.

Professor Ribot gives here a classical exposition of a branch
of psychology which has often been discussed, but perhaps
never before in a thoroughly scientific manner. Although the
purely reproductive imagination has been studied with consid-
erable enthusiasm from time to time, the creative or construc-
tive variety has been generally neglected and is popularly sup-
posed to-be confined within the limits of esthetic creation.

''It is an ingeniously simple book, wherein originality in thought is correlated
with our knowledge of imitative processes, and the unknown readily brought
within the scope of the known." — Chicago Daily News.

"The chapter on 'The Commercial Imagination' is a highly interesting original
study." — Outlook.

"To commend so unique a volume to the discerning reader is time and
space wasted. It has already taken its rightful place as one of the very few
creative works of the last decade." — Cumberland Presbyterian.

The Evolution of General Ideas.

By TH. RIBOT. Authorized translation by FRANCIS A WELBY
Pages, 231. Cloth. $1.25. (5s.)

The author establishes three periods in the development of
the processes of abstracting and generalizing: (1) inferior
abstraction, prior to the appearance of speech; (2) interme-
diate abstraction, accompanied by words, which are at first
only accessory; (3) superior abstraction, where words alone
exist in consciousness.

"Psychologists and teachers everywhere would do well to consider the funda-
mental truths and principles which this most scientific of their number is
bringing out for the right treatment of the youthful mind and brain of the
child." — St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

"The whole treatise deserves the attention of teachers of psychology and is so
full of illustration as to be of interest to ordinary readers." — Independent.

"Professor Ribot gives the reader plenty of leeway for his own opinion or
research. He gets over his theme rapidly, leaving behind clear impressions
as to the world's movement in psychological and spiritual growth, compara-
tive philology, anthropology, and general science — yet never fatigues by being
prosy." — The U. S. Financial and Mercantile Examiner.

The Psychology of Attention.

BY TH. RIBOT, Professor in the College de France and editor
of the Revue Philosophique. Fifth revised edition. Author-
ized translation. Pages, 121. Cloth. 75 cents. (3s. 6d.)
Contents : Spontaneous or Natural Attention ; Voluntary or
Artificial Attention ; Morbid States of Attention.

"The results of his analysis have already been accepted by nearly all the
psychologists here and abroad." — Magazine and Book Reference of N. Y.
Society of Pedagogy.

"Every student should read thjs volume. It will assist in listening to lec-
tures."— Meyer Bros., Druggists, St. Louis.

"A terse statement of the subject, of educational value to all who would
understand the mechanism of thought and learn how to apply it most effect-
ually."— The Sanitarian.

GEORGE JOHN ROMANES, M. A., LL. D., F. R. S.

(1848-1894.)

ROMANES is generally characterized as the man upon whom the
mantle of Darwin has fallen. He was a disciple and an intimate,
personal friend of the great expounder of the doctrine of evolu- j
tion. His works in this line have become classical.

Romanes gave considerable thought to religion throughout his life.
Being himself of a devout religious nature and surrounded in his
home by a religious atmosphere, he struggled frequently to adjust
his scientific conviction to the traditional interpretation of the faith
of his childhood, and The Open Court Publishing Company has pub-
lished two little books of his, which represent the first and last stages
of his religious development. The earlier one shows him as a power-
ful critic of theism exposing its weakness on the ground of evi-
dences supported by philosophy and the natural sciences. In con- I
trast to the Candid Examination of Theism stands the author's
Thoughts on Religion, written at different periods during his last
illness and published posthumously by his friend, Charles Gore, j
Canon of Westminster. His faith was of a peculiar compass, for \
his mind was broad enough to harbor, along with a purified Chris-
tianity, a philosophy based upon a rigorous investigation of the |
facts of nature. His conviction of the "immortality that is now"
is beautifully expressed in the following lines written as a memo-
rial to Charles Darwin:

'Tis said that memory is life,

And that, though dead, men are alive:
Removed from sorrow, care, and strife,

They live because their works survive.
And some find sweetness in the thought

That immortality is now;
That though our earthly parts are brought

To re-unite with all below,
The spirit and the life yet live

In future lives of all our kind,
And, acting still in them, can give

Eternal life to every mind.

The web of things on every side

Is joined by lines we may not see ;
And, great or narrow, small or wide,

What has been governs what shall be.
. No change in childhood's early day,

No storm that raged, no thought that ran,
But leaves a track upon the clay

Which slowly hardens into man;
And so, amid the race of men,

No change is lost, seen or unseen ;
And of the earth no denizen

Shall be as though he had not been.

A Candid Examination of Theism.

By PHYSICUS (the late G. J. ROMANES, M. A., LL. D., F. R.
S.). Third edition. Pages, xi, 197. Cloth. $2.00.
This book was originally written by Romanes in 1878. It
is a powerful arraignment of theism, which the young investi-
gator felt obliged to forsake at this time on purely rational
grounds.

"A singularly strong argument against theism, written from the standpoint
of a perfectly equipped scientific man." — Detroit Evening Nezvs.
''Generally recognized as one of the most subtle critiques of the theistic
hypothesis which has ever appeared." — Bibliotheca Sacra.

By G. J. ROMANES, M. A., LL. D., F. R. S., Honorary Fel-
low of Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. Fifth edition.
Pages, 184. Cloth. $1.25 net.

This book was written during the last years of the author's
life to offset his Candid Examination of Theism, and together
they form an interesting study in individual religious develop-
ment. In this connection see also The Dawn of a New Relig-
ious Era, by DR. PAUL CARUS, on page 60, which contains
a critical analysis of Prof. Romanes's "Thoughts on Religion,"
discussing the subject of his reconversion to Christianity shortly
before his death.

"Will rank among the most valuable books the century has produced."

— Chicago Tribune.

value." — Outlook.

T. SUNDARA ROW.

T. SUNDARA ROW, a mathematician of Madras, India, has
written this attractive little book for the purpose of affording mathe-
matical recreation to both young and old as well as to aid the teach-
ing of geometry in schools and colleges. Its significance to teachers
and students of mathematics is evident from the fact that Professors
Beman and Smith undertook the task of revising and editing it so
that it might be made accessible to the American public. In their
preface to this edition the editors say: "The methods are so novel
and the results so easily reached that they cannot fail to awaken
enthusiasm."

Geometric Exercises in Paper-Folding.

By T. SUNDARA Row. Edited and revised by W. W. BEMAN
and D. E. SMITH. With half-tone engravings from photo-
graphs of actual exercises, and a package of papers for fold-
ing. Pages, x, 148. Price, cloth, $1.00 net. (4s. 6d. net.)

"The book is simply a revelation in paper folding. All sorts of things are
done with the paper squares, and a large number of geometric figures are
constructed and explained in the simplest way." — Teachers' Institute.

"For teachers of elementary geometry the book is really of considerable
value, as it shows in a forcible and tangible way how properties vaguely
known to us by experience are logical and necessary consequences of a few
definitions." — Virgil Snyder in the Journal of Physical Chemistry.

J. A. RUTH.

Born of Christian parents, reared in a Christian home and in an
evangelical Christian church, a firm believer and staunch defender
of the orthodox Christian doctrines, Mr. Ruth declares that he had
passed more than three-fourths of the allotted span of life before
he met squarely the question as to the facts ivith regard to the spe-
cial revelation of the Bible. In seeking for positive proof of its
inspiration he reached instead conclusive evidence that it is a
human production like other literature; that man has acquired his
knowledge of God like all other knowledge by the development of
the faculties with which God has cndoived him. His unpretentious
book is an honest effort to separate truth from error.

They deal, not with the dry side of mathematics, but with the philosophical
side of that science on the one hand and its romantic and mystical side on
the other. No great amount of mathematical knowledge is necessary in
order to thoroughly appreciate and enjoy them. They are admirably lucid
and simple and answer questions in which every intelligent man is interested."

— Chicago Evening Post.

'They should delight the jaded teacher of elementary arithmetic, who is
too liable to drop into a mere rule of thumb system and forget the scientific
side of his work. Their chief merit is however their intelligibility. Even
the lay mind can understand and take a deep interest in what the German
professor has to say on the history of magic squares, the fourth dimension
and squaring of the circle."— Saturday Review.

"Perhaps most interesting of all is a delightfully written history of the
squaring of the circle, from the earliest times down to the demonstration
by Lindemann of the impossibility of the construction. . . . Every essay
in the collection is clear, sound, instructive and entertaining."

— Journal of Physical Chemistry.

"Professor Schubert expounds with great lucidity, and the translator's work
has been admirably done." — Manchester Guardian.

"A most pleasing presentation of fundamental mathematical truths, couched
in such language and expressions as to make it particularly acceptable to
those who, though greatly interested in such matters, have not devoted them-
selves so exclusively to them as to become finished masters."

— Journal of Western Society of Engineers.

SOYEN SHAKU.

ABBOT SHAKU was the most prominent representative of Bud-
dhism from Japan at the time af the World's Congress of Religions
in 1893. When the Russo-Japanese war broke out he was one of
the first eminent priests of the Buddhist hierarchy to follow the
Japanese armies to Manchuria. He witnessed the bloodiest battles
of the Liao-Tung peninsula, and his impressions are graphically
described in some of his sermons. He spent the year 1905-1906 in
the United States delivering lectures on the most important tenets
of Buddhism, and these have been collected, edited and translated
by his interpreter and friend, Mr. Tcitaro Suzuki. Here we
hare a Buddhist abbot who holds a high position in one of the
most orthodox sects of Japan, discoursing on ethics and philosophy
with an intelligence and grasp of the subject which would be rare
even in a Christian prelate.

SHAKU, Abbot of Engakuji and Kenchoji, Kamakura, Japan.

$1.00 net. (4s. 6d. net.)

The most important topics discussed are the God-conception
of Buddhism, the immortality of the soul, the significance of
Buddhist ethics, and the value of thought and work. The
manner in which these subjects are presented is thoroughly in
accord with Western modes of thinking, so as to be easily com-
prehensible to Christian readers.

"Soyen Shaku is rated as one of the foremost Buddhist thinkers of Japan.
Mis thoughts conveyed to us in the smooth and scholarly English of Mr.
Suzuki are both instructive and interesting. His views of life and of the
highest metaphysical problems are well worth careful consideration."

—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"Buddhism is generally so misrepresented in the official accounts of it given
in encyclopedias and \\orks of reference that take their articles on this sub-
ject from Christian clergymen, that a work like this which exhibits its
teachings from the inside is sure of a welcome from thoughtful and fair-
minded readers." — Scotsman.

BENEDICTUS DE SPINOZA. (1632-1677.)

In the history of philosophy Spinoza's name stands inseparably asso-
ciated with pantheism, if it has not become practically synonymous
with that term. He was born in Holland, of Jeivish parentage, and
the effect of the constant persecution of his orthodox co-religionists
throughout his lifetime is seen in the frequently ambiguous and even
contradictory expressions in his writings, which shozv a timidity
that is quite in contrast to his singularly bold and advanced thought.
The meaning of Spinoza's philosophy is not ahvays openly expressed,
but lies concealed beneath in his writings.

For a critical characterization of the man and his beliefs
see Spinoza and Religion. By ELMER ELLSWORTH POWELL,
described on page 140.

This was not meant to be an expression of Spinoza's own belief
at the time it was written. Not wishing his own opinions to be
known he conceived the plan of teaching his pupil the phil-
osophy of Descartes, which he could do conscientiously and
without any unpleasant results to himself.
For writings by Descartes himself, see above, page 90.

"It is difficult to see in what way this volume could be improved. The ele-

It is just such a volume as teachers everywhere are looking for to give those
interested a first-class idea of the modern biological beliefs."

PROFESSOR STARR of the University of Chicago is well known
for his interest and zeal in anthropological research. He has devoted
especial attention to American aboriginal tribes and has been en-
gaged in Held work in ethnography and physical anthropology in
Mexico, and has made his results public by means of lectures and
various publications. It is entirely due to Professor Starr's instiga-
tion that The Cornplanter Medal for Iroquois Research ^vas founded.
On the occasion of the World's Exposition at St. Louis, he was in-
strumental in bringing from Yezo an Ainu family to represent that
non-Mongolian race of the Japanese empire in connection with all
its tribal industries and customs.

"The scheme of this book is unique and the range extensive. The author
enters every field of Mexican literary work, introducing us to writers on

My Little Book of Prayer.

By MURIEL STRODE. Strathmore Japan paper, cloth, $1.00.
(4s. 6d. net.) Alexis paper, boards, 50 cents. (2s. 6d. net.)

"If you want to know the greatness of a soul and the true mastery of life,
apply to the Open Court Publishing Company for a slip of a book by Muriel
Strode, entitled simply 'My Little Book of Prayer.' The modern progress
of sovereign mind and inner divinity from the narrow cell of the ascetic
to the open heaven of man made in God's own image, is triumphantly
shown in it, yet a self-abnegation and sacrifice beyond anything that a
St. Francis or a Thomas a Kempis ever dreamed of, glorifies the path. To
attempt to tell what a treasure-trove for the struggling soul is in this little
volume would be impossible without giving it complete, for every paragraph
marks a milestone on the higher way." — St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

"Exceedingly helpful and illuminating." — Midland Methodist.

"Is a collection of beautiful and uplifting thoughts and petitions, a suitable
gift for the friend to whom you are willing to open your soul."

— Chicago Daily News.

"I love it because it is not 'prayer' in the old selfish, vulgar sense, but a
noble dialogue between the transitory and the permanent in the human soul,
and leaves the latter supreme as in the concluding lines of Faust."

— Thaddeus Burr Wakeman.

"These are no light, lifeless prayers of a passing pilgrim — vain desires of
an empty soul. They are sterling petitions, every one of them, uttered from
an abundant soul that doubtless has sorrowed much, thought deeply, desired
greatly, and yearns for sane, ennobling, inspiring gifts." — Exchange.

"These are rosaries of uplift and are very beautiful means of soul medita-
tion. In almost all of these 'prayers' there is plenty to take example from
in the formation and the utterance of our own daily inner prayers. . . .
Of course such a book is by no means to be merged in any degree with the
books of our various religious devotions; but apart from these the reader
will find herein much incentive to a refined and helpful meditation for daily,
hourly encouragement." — Boston Courier.

"I have admired the healthy and invigorating tone of Miss Strode's point of
view. In many instances her style is so excellent that the aphorism is a
veritable gem sparkling with the truth presented in a crystal garb of
expression." — L. C. Monin, Dean of Armour Institute.

" 'My Little Book of Prayer' is the Aeolian harp, the soul of emancipated
man, a literature of feeling rather than of thought, of heart beats rather
than cerebrations. It is, in a measure, as strikingly the ripened heritage of
the ages as Shakespeare's soul or Darwin's mind. Nations, not individuals,
beget genius. Miss Strode's book is an incontrovertible evidence of the
continuous evolution of nations — and man."

— Walter Scott Roscnbaum in The Open Court.

DAISETZ TEITARO SUZUKI.

MR. SUZUKI is a Japanese Buddhist scholar and is one of the
foremost authorities of today on the text of the ancient Chinese
classics, as well as on all Buddhistic lore, whether of India, China, or
Japan. He made a specialty of religion and philosophy at the Tokyo
Imperial University and followed up his studies there by. special
work on Buddhism under the personal guidance of the Rt. Rev.
Soy en Shaku, Lord Abbot of Kamakura

Acvaghosha's Discourse on the Awakening of Faith in
the Mahayana.

Translated for the first time from the Chinese version. By
TEITARO SUZUKI. Pages, 176. Cloth, $1.25 net. (5s. net.)
Ac-vaghosha was the great philosopher of Buddhism; he was
the first champion, promulgator, and expounder of the Mahay-
ana doctrine, or Northern Buddhism, and lived somewhere
within the last half of the first century B. C, and the first half
of the first century A. D. This treatise does not exist in the
original Sanskrit, but in its Chinese translation it is still used
as a text-book for the instruction of Buddhist priests.

"We know of no treatise presenting more admirably the essential principles
of Buddhism." — Public Opinion.

"This treatise is valuable because it is the pioneer in formulating the doctrine
of faith so prominent in later Japanese Buddhist sects. It is not easy
reading after all the translator has done to facilitate our apprehension of it,
but it is worthy of study and a welcome addition to the not very abundant
stock of Mahayana texts from the Chinese." — American Journal of Theology.

Carus. 16 plates. Pages, 135. 1906. Boards, 75 cents net.
The book contains a critical and descriptive introduction, and
the entire Chinese text in large and distinct characters with
the verbatim translation of each page arranged on the opposite
page in corresponding vertical columns. This feature makes
the book a valuable addition to the number of Chinese-English
text-books already available. The text is a facsimile reproduc-
tion of Chinese texts made in Japan by Chinese scribes.

Yin Chih Wen.

The Tract of the Quiet Way. With Extracts from the Chi-
nese commentary. Translated by TEITARO SUZUKI and DR.
PAUL CARUS. 1906. Pages, 48. 25 cents net.

This is a collection of moral injunctions which, among the Chi-
nese, is second perhaps only to the Kan-Ying P'ien in popular-
ity, and yet so far as is known to the publishers this is the
first translation that has been made into any Occidental lan-
guage. It is now issued as a companion to the T'ai-Shang Kan-
Ying P'ien, although it does not contain either a facsimile of
the text or its verbatim translation. The original consists of
the short tract itself which is here presented, of glosses added
by commentators, which form a large part of the book, and
finally a number of stories similar to those appended to the
Kan-Ying P'ien, which last, however, it has not seemed worth
while to include in this version. The translator's notes are of
value in justifying certain readings and explaining allusions,
and the book is provided with an index. The frontispiece, an
artistic outline drawing by .Shen Chin-Ching, represents Wen
Ch'ang, one of the highest divinities of China, revealing him-
self to the author of the tract.

The motive of the tract is that of practical morality. The
maxims give definite instructions in regard to details of man's
relation to society, besides more general commands of uni-
versal ethical significance, such as "Live in Concord," "For-
give Malice," and "Do not assert with your mouth what your
heart denies."

"Nothing is left undone to render these venerable and interesting booklets
intelligible and attractive. The form in which they are issued does credit
to the translators, to the editor, and to the publisher. We could scarcely
be taught more impressively how ineffaceably God has written "his law on
the human heart." — Princeton Theological Review.

COUNT LEO TOLSTOY.

Many of the works of this great Russian philosopher arc familiar
through translations to the English-reading public, but many of his
most characteristic utterances have only lately become accessible
through the zeal and devotion of admirers and disciples like Ernest
Crosby and Aylmer Maude. The essay, "Christianity and Patriot-
ism," is typical of the originality of his thought and his fearless
attitude in expressing views contrary to those of public opinion.
His argument is that the sentiment of patriotism is unworthy those
who profess Christianity, because of its innate selfishness, which
would make the patriot desire and ivork for the benefit of one nation
or section of the earth at the expense of some other. The forceful
expression of this great mind along these lines is especially valuable
in the present day of International Peace Congresses. The extracts
on other subjects incorporated with this essay all treat of the most-
vital issues of international interest.

"While Americans may not wholly agree with the great Russian sage's phil-
osophy, or rather his application of it, they cannot fail to appreciate his
sympathy and effort in the cause of oppressed humanity, and in behalf of
real freedom in the fullest sense of the term." — The Progress.

"These excellent translations give a very clear idea of the strong, virile style
of the author who never minces words in the expression of his convictions.
The reader, even if not agreeing with him in entirety, can easily understand
the strong influence which he exerts, not only in his own country, but
wherever his writings have a foothold." — The Toledo Blade.

RICHARD WAGNER.

RICHARD WAGNER is famous as a musical composer, but it is
little known that lie was also an author, and perhaps the most inter-
esting prod net of his pen, his Pilgrimage to Beethoven, is almost
unknown. It is a mere sketch, in the English translation only
thirty-nine pages, but it is a fervid tribute to music and music's
chief representative and master, Beethoven. It embodies Wagner's
early ambitions and artistic ideals in a short sketch of a -fictitious
visit to the great master. All lovers of music ought to have read
it, for they can not fail to appreciate and enjoy it.

A Pilgrimage to Beethoven.

By RICHARD WAGNER. With handsome photogravure of M.
Roedig's noted painting of Beethoven. Pages vii, 40. Extra
paper. Boards, 50 cents net. (2s. 6d.)

"A rare story giving under the guise of a mythical conversation with

Beethoven, Wagner's own views of musical art, thus affording a deep insight

into his intellectual workshop." — Literary II' or Id.

"A pleasant little idyl, saturated of course with that exaggerated spirit of

youthful adoration for art which seems inseparable from ambitious young

musicians and their work." — Chicago Record.

"Apart from the interest of its association with the two greatest masters of

musical composition of our country, however, the intrinsic literary quality

of the novelette should be enough to give it a hearty welcome in its English

form." — Presbyterian and Reformed Review.

AUGUST WEISMANN (1834 ).

PROFESSOR WEISMANN has made valuable investigations
along zoological and biological lines, especially with regard to
theories of descent and heredity. He stands foremost among the
advocates of the theory of heredity of acquired characteristics.
He is a regular professor of zoology at the University of Freiburg,
and director of the Zoological Institute there. He is also a non-
resident member of the Royal Bavarian Academy of Sciences at
Munich, in the same class with Ernst Haeckel and the late Lord
Kelvin. Almost his earliest published work was a justification of
the Darwinian theory, and the Germinal Selection is his latest pub-
lication, with the exception of some university lectures on the Theory
of Descent.

On Germinal Selection.

As a Source of Definitely Directed Variation. By AUGUST
WEISMANN. Translated by Thomas J. McCormack. Pages
xii, 61. Cloth, 60 cents net. (5s. net.)

In connection with the subject of this book, see also above,
page 147, An Examination of Weismannism, b\ GEORGE JOHN
ROMANES; and On Orthogenesis; or, The Impotence of Dar-
winian Selection in the Formation of Species, by TH. EIMER
(above, page 97), which was written in reply to Weismann's
Germinal Selection.

"Forms the crown and capsheaf of Weismann's celebrated theory of heredity."

— Exchange.

"Professor Weismann considers this one of the most important of all his
contributions on the evolution problem. It is important as marking some
fundamental changes in Weismann's position." — Science, -New York.

"The clearest short-meter exposition of the famous Weismann theory of
heredity available." — The New Unity, Chicago.

"This whole paper is an interesting and valuable contribution to a contro-
versy of which we have not nearly seen the end." — Pall Mall Gazette.

Weltall und Menschheit.

Geschichte der Erforschung der Natur und der Verwertung
der Naturkraefte in Dienste der Volker. Herausgegeben
von HANS KRAEMER u. a. 5 vols. Berlin: Bong & Co.
Edition de luxe. The Open Court Publishing Co. is prepared
to take orders for the work, to be mailed by parcels post from
Germany direct to your address on receipt of remittance with
order. $20.00 net.*

This is one of the best works on the development of life in the
universe, the evolution of mankind, and the history of civiliza-
tion, the sciences and industries. In fact, so far as we know,
it is the very best, the most scientific, most comprehensive, and
at the same time the most popular work of its kind. It consists
of five stately volumes in royal octavo, each of nearly 500
pages, and written by different leading German scientists. It
is profusely .illustrated not only with a view of explaining and
elucidating the subject matter treated, but also and especially
for the purpose of presenting historical pictures from the history
of the sciences and civilization. In addition to innumerable
illustrations in the text, there are a large number of colored
plates of every description, reproduced from valuable paintings
and artistically executed.

The first volume contains essays on the crust of the earth by
Karl Sapper, and on terrestrial physics by Adolf Marcuse.
The second volume contains a treatment of the several anthro-
pological problems by Herman Klaatsch ; the development of
the flora by H. Potonie, and of the fauna by Louis Beushausen.
In the third volume we find an article on astronomy by \Y.
Foerster ; and the first part of one on geography by K. Weule.
The latter is continued in the fourth volume, which also con-
tains an essay on the ocean by William Marshall ; and a treatise
on the shape, magnitude and density of the earth by A. Marcuse.
The fifth and last volume discusses the use which man makes
of his knowledge of nature, the subject being divided into an
essay on the beginning of technology by Max von Eyth and
Ernst Krause (perhaps better known as Cams Sterne).

Three shorter articles on the difficulties of scientific observation,
on the influence of civilization upon the health of man, and a
conclusion by the editor, Hans Kraemer, close the last volume
of the work. The index is exceptionally well done. An English
translation would be highly desirable, but considering the enor-
mous expense which it would involve will scarcely be under-
taken.

WILLIAM F. WHITE, Ph. D.

WILLIAM F. WHITE, Ph. D., is at the head of the department
of Mathematics, State Normal School, New Paltz, N. Y., and is
well known among educators for his interest in the pedagogy and
literature of mathematics.

Scrapbook of Elementary Mathematics.

By WM. F. WHITE, State Normal School, New Paltz, N. Y.
Cloth. Pages, 248. $1.00 net. (5s. net.)

A collection of Accounts, Essays, Recreations and Notes,
selected for their conspicuous interest from the domain of
mathematics, and calculated to reveal that domain as a world
in which invention and imagination are prodigiously enabled,
and in which the practice of generalization is carried to extents
undreamed of by the ordinary thinker, who has at his command
only the resources of ordinary language. A few of the
seventy sections of this attractive book have the following
suggestive titles : Familiar Tricks, Algebraic Fallacies,
Geometric Puzzles, Linkages, A Few Surprising Facts,
Labyrinths, The Nature of Mathematical Reasoning, Alice in
the Wonderland of Mathematics. The book is supplied with
Bibliographic Notes, Bibliographic Index and a copious Gen-
eral Index.

JOHN WILLIAM WITHERS, Ph. D.

DR. WITHERS was principal of the Yeatman High School in
St. Louis and his essay on Euclid's Parallel Postulate ivas presented
to the philosophical faculty of Yale University for the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy.

Euclid's Parallel Postulate: Its Nature, Validity and
Place in Geometrical Systems.

By JOHN WILLIAM WITHERS, Ph. D. Pages vii, 192. Cloth,
net $1.25. (4s. 6d. net.)

"This is a philosophical thesis, by a writer who is really familiar with the
subject on non-Euclidean geometry, and as such it is well worth reading.
The first three chapters are historical; the remaining three deal with the
psychological and metaphysical aspects of the problem; finally there is a
bibliography of fifteen pages. Mr. Withers's critique, on the whole, is quite
sound, although there are a few passages either vague or disputable. Mr.
Withers's main contention is that Euclid's parallel postulate is empirical, and
this may be admitted in the sense that his argument requires; at any rate,
he shows the absurdity of some statements of the a priori school." — Nature.

KEICHYU YAMADA.

PROFESSOR YAMADA is one of the leaders in contemporary
Japanese art. At the time that he painted his famous series of
pictures illustrative of Buddha's life (some of which are reproduced
in color in his Scenes from the Life of Buddha) he ivas an instructor
of painting in the Imperial Institute of Art at Tokyo and since that
time has been made director of the Art Institute at Kanazazva. It
should be borne in mind that the illustrations represent scenes and
incidents in India and so are not considered characteristically Japan-
ese by the artist. The reproductions exhibit to a marked degree
the almost inimitable delicacy of tint and expressiveness which arc
the most noteworthy features of the best Japanese art.

Scenes from the Life of Buddha.

Reproduced in colors from the paintings of KEICHYU YAMADA,
Professor in the Imperial Art Institute, Tokyo. With a hand-
some cover-stamp especially designed for the volume by FRED-
ERICK W. GOOKIN, in imitation of a Buddha-painting of the
Fifteenth Century. Price, $5.00 net. (21s.)

Each of the eight illustrations chosen from Yamada's series for
this book occupies a separate leaf and the description and refer-
ences for each are given on a preceding page. The incidents
here illustrated are entitled: (1) King Bimbisara, (2) The
First Disciples, (3) The Slanderer, (4) Crossing the Stream,
(5) Yashodhara, (6) The Deva Asking Questions, (7) Quar-
rels in the Sangha, (8) Preaching the Doctrine that is Glorious.
In connection with this collection of pictures see Dr. Carus's
Gospel of Buddha (described on page 28) to which reference is
made in the descriptive comment of each picture.

"A beautiful example of the book-maker's art, and the Japanese illustrations
are great in composition and color."

—Daniel C. Bears, New York School of Applied Design for IVoincn.

"Aside from their beauty this group of pictures is of rare interest to the
student of art. They furnish an admirable illustration of the new school
of Japanese art. The wonderful softness of coloring is there, the dim back-
grounds, the gorgeous golds and velvet blues; but we are astonished by the
introduction of a quite recognizable perspective and plain evidence of
anatomical drawing— two things unknown to the conventional Japanese art
of ages past." — Atlanta Journal.

'The coloring and landscapes are always beautiful, and the reproductions
themselves are so remarkably good that it seems as if all the value of the
originals must be retained." — The Literary Review.

TESTIMONIALS FROM THE READERS OF "THE MONIST"

"I do not believe any periodical in the world is doing more service to civilization and to this
country that no other precisely renders than 'The Monist'."— Charles S. Peirce, Milford, Penn.

"Its great breadth and liberality, its high class of writers, and its able and scholarly reviews,
are among its noteworthy features."— Lester F. Ward, Smithsonian Institution, Washington,

"I read 'The Monist1 because it stands for something, because it gives me the thoughts of con-
temporary leaders, and because it is always on the side of sound scholarship."— David Eugene
Smith, Ph.D., Professor of Mathematics in Teachers' College, Columbia University, New York
City.

"Among the periodicals of a higher class, which I have been receiving for some years past,
there is none that I read more regularly than 'The Monist'; and there is not a number in which I
have not found some articles of fruitful suggestiveness. I have been so impressed with the value
of the periodical that I recommended last year the purchase of a complete set for the library of
our university."— J. Clark Murray, LL.D., Professor of Philosophy in McGill University, Mon-
treal, Canada.

"I do not think that any journal in the world can rival 'The Monist,' and scarcely any other
country but America can ever produce a journal like this, scientific, and still all-comprising, free-
thinking and still never vague, but exact."— Dr. Huebbe Schleiden, Hanover, Germany.

" 'The Monist' is certainly performing an important service. I always read the journal with
interest and profit. It would be difficult to exaggerate the value of your journals and other pub-
lications for the advancement and diffusion of philosophy and science." — Prof. J. McKeen Cattell,
Professor of Psychology in Columbia University, New York.

"I desire to state that there are found compiled in this journal three qualities which render
it superior to most other American and European reviews, namely: (i) The unlimited liberty of

discussion and of thought in every branch of science pervading its pages; (2) the varied char-
acter of the articles which are published in every single number of it; and (3) the names of its
illustrious contributors and collaborators from every part of the world."— G. Sergi, Professor of

TESTIMONIALS FROM READERS OF "THE OPEN COURT"

"I regard 'The Open Court' and 'The Monist' as the two best American philosophical maga-
zines that we have."— Dr. Lester F. Ward, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C.

"The statement of the principles of 'The Open Court' (in No. 524) as the organ of the
Religious Parliament idea is so admirable, that, speaking from the point of view of an Orthodox
Christian, I wish the statement might somehow be put into the hands of every clergyman and
religious leader."— Elias Compton, Dean of the University of Wooster, Wooster, Ohio.

"In my judgment your magazine is an extremely original and interesting institution, con-
ducted with uncommon skill, and always offering to its readers a great deal of interesting
material. The union of discussions of religious, philosophical and scientific questions appears
to me to be felicitous."— August Weismann, Professor in the University of Freiburg, Germany.

"I follow the work of your magazine with the liveliest sympathy. May its endeavors be
crowned with future success." — Prof. Rudolf Eucken, Professor of Philosophy in the University
of Jena, Germany.

"It is always a pleasure to me to receive 'The Open Court.' It is in my opinion a magazine
of great value. In its brief but solid papers it throws light upon many interesting questions."
— Harold Hoeffding, Professor in the University of Copenhagen.

"'The Open Court' is one of the most interesting and instructive publications of the kind
that I receive and read. It is an exponent of modern science and philosophy, and has a mission
of culture and education peculiarly its own." — Dr. Edward Brooks, Superintendent of Public
Schools, Philadelphia, Penn.

PORTRAITS OF
EMINENT MATHEMATICIANS

Three portfolios edited by DAVID EUGENE SMITH, Ph. D., Professor of
Mathematics in Teachers' College, Columbia University, New York City.

In response to a widespread demand from those interested in mathematics
and the history of education, Professor Smith has edited three portfolios of the
portraits of some of the most eminent of the world's contributors to the mathe-
matical sciences. Accompanying each portrait is a brief biographical sketch,
with occasional notes of interest concerning the artists represented. The
pictures are of a size that allows for framing (11x14), it being the hope that a
new interest in mathematics may be aroused through the decoration of class-
rooms by the portraits of those who helped to create the science.

PORTFOLIO No. 1.

Twelve great mathematicians down to 1700 A.D. :

Thales, Pythagoras, Euclid, Archimedes, Leonardo of Pisa, Cardan, Vieta,
Napier, Descartes, Fermat, Newton, Leibniz.

PORTFOLIO NO« 2. m0st eminent founders and promoters of the

infinitesimal calculus : Cavallieri, Johann and Jakob Bernoulli, Pascal,
L'Hopital, Barrow, Laplace, Lagrange, Euler Gauss, Monge and Xiccolo
Tartaglia.

PORTFOLiO NO. 3. Eight portraits selected from the two former,
portfolios especially adapted for high schools and academies, including
portraits of

THALES — with whom began the study of scientific geometry;
PYTHAGORAS— who proved the proposition of the square on the hypotenuse;
EUCLID — whose Elements of Geometry form the basis of all modern text books;
ARCHIMEDES — whose treatment of the circle, cone, cylinder and sphere

influences our work to-day;
DESCARTES — to whom we are indebted for the graphic algebra in our high

schools ;

NEWTON — who generalized the binomial theorem and invented the calculus;
NAPIER — who invented logarithms and contributed to trigonometry;
PASCAL — who discovered the "Mystic Hexagram " at the age of sixteen.

PRICES

Portfolio i or 2 (12 portraits) on Japanese vellum, size 11x14, $5.00; both for $8.50.

" The issue of this fine collection is equally creditable to the expert knowl-

edge and discriminating taste of the editor, Professor David Eugene Smith,

and to the liberality and artistic resources of The Open Court Publishing Co."

— F. N. Cole, Editor American Mathematical Bulletin, New York.

" The selection is well made, the reproduction is handsomely executed, and
the brief account which accompanies each portrait is of interest. Prof. Smith
has rendered a valuable service to all who have interest in mathematics, by
editing this collection. Wherever mathematics is taught, these portraits should
adorn the walls."— William F. Osgood, Cambridge, Mass.
