And Other Essays

BY FRANCIS GRIERSON

_F'cap 8vo. 3s. 6d. net_

_CHARACTERISTICALLY INCISIVE_

This volume contains the latest work of the greatest Essayist of our time.
Maurice Maeterlinck has said of the Author, "He has, in his best moments,
that most rare gift of casting certain shafts of light, at once simple and
decisive, upon questions the most difficult, obscure, and unlooked for in
Art, Morals, and Psychology ... essays among the most subtle and
substantial that I know."

This opinion has been endorsed by every critic of note in the British
Isles and in the United States of America. Indeed, in the latter country a
veritable Grierson cult has sprung into existence.

THE MASTERY OF LIFE

BY G. T. WRENCH, M.D. LOND.

_Demy 8vo. 15s. net_

_OLD VALUES RE-VALUED_

This book is a review of the history of civilisation with the object of
discovering where and under what conditions man has shown the most
positive attitude towards life. The review has been based not so much upon
scholarship as upon the direct evidence of the products and monuments of
