should be written by a specialist. For the reader's own satisfaction, then, and for the sake of justice to my cause, I shall venture to suggest a list of books whose contents will atone for all my failures and omissions. And I am justified, I think, in saying that no reader who has not read the books I recommend, or others of like scope and value, can fairly claim to sit on the jury to try this case. And of these books I shall, first of all, heartily recommend the series of cheap sixpenny reprints now published by the Rationalist Press Association, Johnson's Court, London, E.C. R.P.A. REPRINTS Huxley's _Lectures and Essays._ Tyndall's _Lectures and Essays._ Laing's _Human Origins._ Laing's _Modern Science and Modern Thought._ Clodd's _Pioneers of Evolution._ Matthew Arnold's _Literature and Dogma._ Haeckel's _Riddle of the Universe._ Grant Allen's _Evolution of the Idea of God._ Cotter Morrison's _Service of Man._ Herbert Spencer's _Education._ Some Apologists have, I am sorry to say, attempted to disparage those excellent books by alluding to them as "Sixpenny Science" and "Cheap Science." The same method of attack will not be available against most of the books in my next list: _The Golden Bough_, Frazer. Macmillan, 36s. _The Legend of Perseus_, Hartland. D. Nutt, 25s. _Christianity and Mythology_, Robertson. Watts, 8s. _Pagan Christs_, Robertson. Watts, 8s. _Supernatural Religion_, Cassels. Watts, 6s. _The Martyrdom of Man_, Winwood Reade. Kegan Paul, 6s. _Mutual Aid_, Kropotkin. Heinemann, 7s. 6d. _The Story of Creation_, Clodd. Longmans, 3s. 6d. _Buddha and Buddhism_, Lillie. Clark, 3s. 6d. _Shall We Understand the Bible?_ Williams. Black, 1s. _What is Religion?_ Tolstoy. Free Age Press, 6d. _What I Believe_, Tolstoy. Free Age Press, 6d. _The Life of Christ_, Renan. Scott, 1s. 6d. I also recommend Herbert Spencer's _Principles of Sociology_ and Lecky's _History of European Morals_. Of pamphlets there are hundreds. Readers will get full information from Watts & Co., 17 Johnson's Court, London, E.C. I can warmly recommend _The Miracles of Christian Belief_ and _The Claims of Christianity_, by Charles Watts, and _Christianity and Progress_, a penny pamphlet, by G. W. Foote (The Freethought Publishing Company). I should also like to mention _An Easy Outl
