The Importance of Political Ideals as Guides to Practice, The Relation of Ideals to Facts. Religion and Immortality Fcap. 8vo. 1s. 6d. Four essays of which the titles are "Faith and Knowledge," "Optimism and Immortality," "Is Immortality Desirable," "Euthanasia." 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 Cr. 800. Third Impression Quarter Canvas, 4s. 6d. "His fantasia, half prose as it is, is beautiful ... all through there 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 less important, however, is the presentation of our own civilization as viewed by an outsider whose standards are not those which, from birth, we have been accustomed to take for granted. Appearances Being Notes of Travel Cr. 8vo. 6s. A series of articles recording impressions of travel in America and Asia. In a concluding essay the author suggests that the civilization of India implies an outlook fundamentally different from that of the West, and that, essentially, the other countries of the Far East are nearer to the West than to India. An Essay on the Civilizations of India, China and Japan Fcap. 8vo. Third Edition 2s. The report of the author's travels as a Fellow of the Albert Kahn Travelling Fellowship. He shows the general spirit and character of the civilizations of India, China and Japan and suggests the probable effects of their contact with the civilization of the West. Revolution and Reaction in Modern France, 1789-1871 Cr. 8vo. New Edition 7s. 6d. "Mr. Lowes Dickinson's brilliant sketch has stood the test of time.... A masterly summary."--_The Observer_ The Contribution of Ancient Greece to Modern Life Cr. 8vo. Paper 1s., Cloth 2s. The author's last work, published just after his death. "A piece of singularly limpid, undecorated, musical prose."--_Sunday Times_.
