Ruskin the Prophet And Other Centenary Studies By JOHN MASEFIELD, DEAN
INGE, C. F. G. MASTERMAN, AND OTHERS EDITED BY J. HOWARD WHITEHOUSE
_Demy 8vo._ _8s. 6d. net._
An important and authoritative book on Ruskin, containing critical
appreciations and essays by John Masefield, Dean Inge, J. A. Hobson,
Charles Masterman, H. W. Nevinson, Laurence Binyon, and the editor,
Howard Whitehouse. Among the subjects dealt with are the Influence of
Ruskin in Modern Life, his social and economic teaching, his relation to
Plato, and many other aspects of his teaching and influence. The book
will be a fitting complement to the remarkable exhibition of Ruskin’s
drawings recently held at the Royal Academy.
The Harvest of Ruskin
BY PRINCIPAL JOHN W. GRAHAM, M.A.
_Cr. 8vo._ _7s. 6d. net._
A critical but sympathetic estimate of the net result of Ruskin’s
teaching in the regions of economics and social reform, education and
religion, examined in the light of the present situation between Capital
and Labour, the advocacy of Guild Socialism, and the widespread
unsettlement about religion.
Pagan and Christian Creeds
Their Origin and Meaning
_Demy 8vo._ BY EDWARD CARPENTER _10s. 6d. net._
“A splendid theory, and Mr. Carpenter’s exposition of it is done with an
infectious enthusiasm ... like all this veteran writer’s work, a sincere
contribution to the world’s stock of knowledge.”--_Daily Chronicle._
“ ... A genius which is both scientific and artistic, philosophic and
poetic. Such genius sees and gives the reader visions.”--_Observer._
The Making of Humanity
_Demy 8vo._ BY ROBERT S. BRIFFAULT _12s. 6d. net._
“An astonishing book ... a _tour de force_ of rapid historical
exposition. A masterly analysis of human progress. We hope Democracy
will study this brace and brilliant book.”--_English Review._

The History of Social
Development BY DR.
F. MÜLLER-LYER
TRANSLATED BY ELIZABETH COOTE LAKE & H. A. LAKE, B.Sc. (Econ.) WITH AN
INTRODUCTION BY PROFESSORS L. T. HOBHOUSE & E. J. URWICK
_Demy 8vo._ _18s. net._
This translation of Dr. F. Müller-Lyer’s famous book, “Phasen der
Kultur,” will appeal to all who are interested in labour problems at the
present time. It contains a series of studies of the different economic
phenomena of to-day, describing the gradual evolution of each from the
earliest times, with an indication of the probable trend of future
developments. The inter-connection of the different conditions so
described is well illustrated, and each chapter ends with a brief
summary of its subject matter. The accounts of the various stages of
food production, of clothing, of housing and of the use of tools contain
in a brief and readable form the results of the investigations of the
past century, and Part III, “The History of the Evolution of Labour,”
will be read with especial interest.
The Perils of Wealth and
Poverty BY CANON S. A. BARNETT,
M.A., D.C.L.
EDITED BY THE REV. V. A. BOYLE, M.A. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY MRS. S. A.
BARNETT, C.B.E.
_Cr. 8vo._ _2s. 6d. net._
Canon Barnett was so careful a student of social conditions, and so sane
an idealist, that this little book (which he was engaged in writing just
before his last illness) will be of interest to all who think, and who
desire the common welfare.
The Sickness of an Acquisitive
Society BY R. H. TAWNEY
_Cr. 8vo._ _Second Impression_ _2s. net._
In this booklet the author analyses the causes of the present
discontents which are troubling modern society, and traces their origin
to the divorce of property rights from social duties.
Co-operation and the Future
of Industry BY LEONARD S. WOOLF
_Cr. 8vo._ _Second Edition_ _5s. net._
“A book of great immediate and practical importance. Every one who
desires industrial reconstruction would do well to master
it.”--_Herald._
* * * * *
Government and Industry BY C. DELISLE BURNS
Author of “Political Ideals”
_Demy 8vo._ _About 16s. net._
This is a description of the existing relations between British
government and the industrial system. The present tendencies are shown
to indicate the formation of an organized “economic” community, based
upon the State organization but distinct from it. The dominant
conception operating in this economic community is that of public
service. The theory expressed in the book, however, is subordinated to a
description of actual facts--the administrative treatment of labour
conditions, unemployment, commerce and finance, which will be found
valuable even by those who do not agree with the theory, since the
description is the only one which covers contemporary post-war
administration.
Problems of a New World BY J. A. HOBSON
_Cr. 8vo._ _7s. 6d. net._
Events of the last few years have shaken our political and economic
systems to their foundations. The old guarantees of order and progress
no longer suffice. The problems of 1920 are not those of 1914. Human
Nature itself, as an operative force, has changed.
These chapters discuss the revelations and describe the new ideals that
are struggling to get themselves realized in the new Industry, the new
State, and the new World-Order.
What the Workers Want A Study in British Labour BY ARTHUR GLEASON
_Demy 8vo._ _About 16s. net._
A record of the aims and achievements of British Labour, the result of
five years’ continuous study of Labour conditions. It deals with what
the workers want, who the leaders are, what the strikes mean, what the
workers have won, and what they seek. There are chapters by Messrs.
Smillie, Frank Hodges, C. T. Cramp and others; and the appendix contains
all the important documents of the industrial revolution.

FOOTNOTES:
[1] In an article published in _Macmillan’s Magazine_, December 1887,
I dealt with the subject of Moultrie’s Poems.
[2] Article on “Eton as it is,” in the _Adventurer_, No. 23, by “E. G.
R.” (G. C. Macaulay).
[3] Dr. Lyttelton, when Headmaster of Eton, substituted the cane for
the birch in the Upper School.
[4] From the chapter on “The Author of Ionica,” in _Eton under Hornby_.
[5] See Brinsley Richards’s _Seven Years at Eton_.
[6] The article, unsigned, appeared in No. 23.
[7] The _Adventurer_, No. 20.
[8] See the concluding article, “Valete Etonenses,” No. 29.
[9] The incident is a good example of the way in which the _real_
ethics of diet are often overlooked, while stress is laid upon some
quite minor and subordinate aspect of it.
[10] I was not aware of these lines having appeared in print,
until they were quoted by Sir Edward Cook in his _More Literary
Recreations_, 1919. My version of them is slightly different from his;
but I think my recollection is trustworthy.
[11] _My Days and Dreams_, by Edward Carpenter, 1916.
[12] The two years allowed for vegetarianism have now become forty,
and all of them years of hard work.
[13] “Our competitive system of industry is a vestigial institution.
It is a survival from the militant ages of the past.... It is a system
of cannibalism. Instead of instilling the feeling of brotherhood,
it compels us to eat each other.”--_Savage Survivals_, by J. Howard
Moore, 1916.
[14] Since the above was written, Dean Inge has added his name to the
illustrious list. Is it not time, by the way, that some one collected
the Gloomy Dean’s golden sayings in a volume--under the title of
_Ingots_, perhaps?
[15] Article on “The Bringing of Sentient Beings into Existence,” the
_Ethical World_, May 7, 1898.

the Spirit, 1918.

[20] The substance of what is here said about Francis Adams is taken
from my editorial note to the revised edition of the _Songs of the
Army of the Night_, published by Mr. A. C. Fifield, 1910.
[21] _De Rerum Naturâ_, iii. 9-13, as translated in _Treasures of
Lucretius_.
[22] It is significant that the title of Edward Carpenter’s lines
to Shelley: “To a Dead Poet,” became, in later editions of _Towards
Democracy_, “To One who is where the Eternal are.”
[23] _Sonnet to Shelley_, by N. Douglas Deuchar.
[24] From a letter on “Swinburne at Eton,” _Times Literary
Supplement_, December 25, 1919.
[25] The assertion made in Mr. H. M. Hyndman’s _Records of an
Adventurous Life_ (1911) that Meredith’s vegetarianism was “almost
the death of him,” and that he himself “recognized the truth,” viz.
that flesh food is a necessity for those who work with mind as well
as body, is directly at variance with what Meredith himself told me
twenty years nearer the date of the experiment in question.
[26] Here perhaps I had better say that my own work for the League,
though mostly private and anonymous, was continuous during the
twenty-nine years of the League’s existence; so that in describing
the various aspects of the movement I am writing of what I know. The
opinions expressed are, of course, only personal, as in the remarks
about the war (Chap. XV).

begged us not to get the Buckhounds abolished, because, as he said,
they were the great incentive to vote for the Bill.

[36] Some years later I was enabled, by the courtesy of the owner, to
visit the top of Kinderscout on a frosty afternoon in December, when
it had the appearance of a great snow-clad table-land, intersected by
deep ruts, and punctuated here and there by the black masonry of the
tors.
[37] I have here incorporated the substance of a letter on “The
Preservation of Mountain Scenery” published in _The Times_, April 28,
1908.

[41] See the address on “War and Sublimation,” given by Dr. L. Jones,
in the subsection of Psychology, at the meetings of the British
Association, September 11, 1915. In war, he pointed out, impulses
were noticed which apparently did not exist in peace, except in
the criminal classes. Primitive tendencies never disappeared from
existence; they only vanished from view by being repressed and buried
in the unconscious mind.
[42] _Cf._ Mr. Edward Garnett’s _Papa’s War, and Other Satires_,
George Allen & Unwin, Ld., 1918.
[43] “We were told that the war was to end war, but it was not: it did
not and it could not.” So said Field-Marshal Sir Henry Wilson, May 18,
1920; at which date it was no longer necessary to keep up the illusion.
[44] If any doubt existed as to the national insensibility caused by
the war, it must have been dispelled by the comparative indifference
with which the news of the Amritsar massacre--a more terrible atrocity
than any for which German commanders were responsible--was received in
this country.

mine; I will repay, saith the Lord,” as if it were an injunction to
the righteous to follow the example of a vengeful Deity.
