ARNOLD SHAW, PUBLISHER TO THE UNIVERSITY LECTURERS ASSOCIATION GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL, NEW YORK SUSPENDED JUDGMENTS ESSAYS ON BOOKS AND SENSATIONS BY JOHN COWPER POWYS 8vo. about 400 pages. Half cloth with blue Fabriano paper sides............................................$2.00 net _The Book News Monthly_ said of "Visions and Revisions": "Not one line in the entire book that is not tense with thought and feeling." The author of "Visions and Revisions" says of this new book of essays: "In 'Suspended Judgments' I have sought to express with more deliberation and in a less spasmodic manner than in 'Visions,' the various after-thoughts and reactions both intellectual and sensational which have been produced in me, in recent years, by the re-reading of my favorite writers. I have tried to capture what might be called the 'psychic residuum' of earlier fleeting impressions and I have tried to turn this emotional aftermath into a permanent contribution--at any rate for those of similar temperament--to the psychology of literary appreciation. "To the purely critical essays in this volume I have added a certain number of others dealing with what, in popular parlance, are called 'general topics,' but what in reality are always--in the most extreme sense of that word--personal to the mind reacting from them. I have called the book 'Suspended Judgments' because while one lives, one grows, and while one grows, one waits and expects."
