TO-DAY ANDTO-MORROW
Each, pott 8vo, boards, 2/6 net
THIS series of books, by some of the most distinguished English thinkers, scientists, philosophers, doctors, critics, and artists, was at once recognized as a noteworthy event. Written from various points of view, one book frequently opposing the argument of another, they provide the reader with a stimulating survey of the most modern thought in many departments of life. Several volumes are devoted to the future trend of Civilization, conceived as a whole; while others deal with particular provinces. It is interesting to see in these neat little volumes, issued at a low price, the revival of a form of literature, the Pamphlet, which has been in disuse for many years.Published byKEGAN PAUL, TRENCH, TRUBNER & CO., LTD.Broadway House: 68-74 Carter Lane, London, E.C. 4.

FROM THE REVIEWS
Times Literary Supplement: “An entertaining series.”Spectator: “Scintillating monographs.”Observer: “There seems no reason why the brilliant To-day and To-morrow Series should come to an end for a century of to-morrows. At first it seemed impossible for the publishers to keep up the sport through a dozen volumes, but the series already runs to more than two score. A remarkable series....”Nation: “We are able to peer into the future by means of that brilliant series [which] will constitute a precious document upon the present time.”—T. S. Eliot.Manchester Dispatch: “The more one reads of these pamphlets, the more avid becomes the appetite. We hope the list is endless.”Irish Statesman: “Full of lively controversy.”Daily Herald: “This series has given us many monographs of brilliance and discernment.... The stylistic excellences of this provocative series.”Field: “We have long desired to express the deep admiration felt by every thinking scholar and worker at the present day for this series. We must pay tribute to the high standard of thought and expression they maintain. As small gift-books, austerely yet prettily produced, they remain unequalled of their kind. We can give but the briefest suggestions of their value to the student, the politician, and the voter....”Japan Chronicle: “While cheap prophecy is a futile thing, wisdom consists largely in looking forward to consequences. It is this that makes these books of considerable interest.”New York World: “Holds the palm in the speculative and interpretative thought of the age.”
