Religion
A Criticism and a Forecast
Fcap. 8vo. Fifth Impression 1s. 6d.
Mr. Lowes Dickinson's main object is to raise the question of the
relation of Religion to Knowledge. Believing that all Knowledge must
be attained by the method of science, he shows that a broad agnosticism
is not of necessity inconsistent with the religious attitude, which may
prove of definite help in the conduct of life.
The Magic Flute
A Fantasia in Prose and Verse based on Mozart's Opera

is the spirit of the Magic Flute and at times almost the music."--_The
Times_
Letters from John Chinaman
Fcap. 8vo. Ninth Impression 1s. 6d.
In the form of letters the author explains China to the European. No

we have been accustomed to take for granted.

Being Notes of Travel
