Hegeler, of La Salle, 111., for the i)urpose of establishing" ethics and religion upon a scientific basis. It has formulated its aims differently at different times, but has always adhered to the same ideal of working out a relig^ious reformation through the light that science affords. Without animosity to any of the established creeds of the world it stands for conservative progress based upon the most radical thought and fearless investig^ation. It holds that the established churches have their mis- sions to perform, each in its way, but that it is highly desirable to raise their intellectual level to a higher plane and let the matured results of science enter into the fabric of our religious convictions. For the realization of this purpose The Open Court Publishing Company publishes two periodicals, T/ie Monist, a quarterly magazine devoted to the philosophy of science, and llie Open Court, an ilkis- trated monthly, devoted to tlic science of rclig-ion, the relig^ion of science and the extension of the Religious Parliament idea. In addition, Tiih Open Court Puiilishing Company publishes books that directly or indirectly would advance its aims — books on Philosophy, which in contrast to the old metaphysicism lay the foundation of a philosophy of science ; books on Mathematics and other lines of thought, indispen- sable for a rational and scientific world-conception ; books that have a bearing on the doctrine of Evo- lution ; and books on the History of Religion, es- pecially the development of Christianity, including Higher Criticism; and books on Comparative Re- ligion, on Psychology, and on Ethics. The Open Court Publishing Company publishes the works of the foremost men of science and progressive religion. It furnishes translations of such books and articles as are of international significance in the history of culture, and for the sake of completeness makes accessible classical essays of the past in inexpensive reproductions. All of them serve the same purpose — a reformation of religious life on the basis of science. THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO.. CHICAGO. DAVID P. ABBOTT. MR.

ANSELM (1033-1109), Archbishop of Caiilcrbury, has i^krn the final and most classical shape to the doctrines of Chrislianity. His zvorks did not become antiquated by the Reformation, for all the great reformers, Luther not less than Calvin, stand here on the same ground with the Roman Catholic Church. St. .Inselm 7^'ith rare penetration, keen logical acuteness and vigorous pozver of expression has gizrii a definite shape to the philosophy, of Christen- dom, lAiielt is surprisingly modern even froui a rationalist point of viezv. Whatever changes may arise in our interpretation of Church Christianity, no one ivill understand the historic growth of the Christian faith nnless he has become acquainted zvith it through St. .-Inselm. He is the source of all later expositions of Christianitx, its pliilosophy as Zi'cll as its apologetics. St. Anselm: Proslogium; Monologium; On Behalf of the Fool by Gaunilon, and Cur Deus Homo. Translated from the Latin by Sidney Norton Deane, B. A. Pages xxxv+288. Cloth, $1.00 net. (5s. net.) "A reprint of the translation made almost fifty years ago, is not only a just recognition of work well done by Sidney Norton Deane, but it opens to the general reader not familiar wilh Latin, or to whom the writings of the great Catholic Archbishop of Canterbury are not accessible, an oppor- tunity of delving in a very rich mine." — Dominicana. "The rendering of Mr. Sidney Norton Deane is scholarly, fluent, clear and elegant. It will make accessible to many for the first time the writings of the great English Primate, who, according to Weber, is the first really speculative thinker after Scotus." — Scotsman (Daily), Edinburgh. "This work is valuable because it makes accessible the best thoughts of one of the world's great thinkers. Many may own and read this little book who would never have access to Anselm's Latin works." — Hartford Seminary Record. EDWARD ANWYL, M. A. PROF.

This most famous of J'lato's disciples and tutor of Alexander the Great, founded at Athens a {philosophical school zvhich dealt more particularly with ichat i^'e ivould no:c call positive science, in dis- tinction from the pra\ctical school of Isocrates and the speculative school of Xenocrates, the successor of Plato. Classical writers refer to dialectic writiiii^s of Aristotle i^'hich were celebrated for their literary grace, but all that is now available can be but little more than rough notes for lectures, as this is the only zvay that their inequalities and ahniptnesses of style can be accounted for. In spite of this, however, they are of paramount iinporlance in the development of pliilosopJiy and science. The first of the fourteen books of the Metaphysics forms a history of Greek philosophy up to Aristotle's time, and is the most vahiable source for our present day kno7vledge of pre-Aristotelian thought. Aristotle on His Predecessors. Iknng the first book of his metaphysics. Translated from the text of Christ^ with introduction and notes. By A. E. Taylor. M. A., Fellow of Merton College, Oxford'; Frothingham Professor of Philosophy in McGill University, Montreal. Pages 160. Cloth, 7^ cents net (3s. 6d. net). Paper, 35 cents post- paid. The present translation has l)een made from the latest and most critical Greek text available, the second edition of W. Christ, and pains have been taken not only to reproduce it in readable English, but also to indicate the exact way in which the trans- lator understands every word and clause of the Greek. He has further noted all the important divergencies, between the readings of Christ's text and the editions of Zellar and BoNiTz, the two chief modern German exponents of Aristo- telianism. Not the least advantage of the present translation is the incor- poration of the translator's own work and thought. He has done his best, within the limited space he has allowed himself for explanations, to provide the student with ample means ot judging for himself in the light of the most recent researches in Greek philosophical literature, the value of Aristotle's account of previous thought as a piece of historical criticism. "Just as I use your Hume and your Kant's Prolegomena in class work, I hope to be able to introduce Aristotle and His Predecessors. ... It is done with Professor Taylor's well-known and admirable skill." — R. M. Wenley, University of MicJiigan. "The version is concise, clear and scholarly, and the book cannot but be found interesting and serviceable by students, whether of Greek or philos- oph.\-, who are engaged upon this important text." — The Scotsman. 7 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO., CHICAGO.

MR. .ISHCROrT , a native of Eiii^kuid and a man of great earnest- ness and boldness, treats the religious problem with frankness and enthusiasm. Though very critical in religious matters and a follower of Ernst llacckel, he is anxious to have the religious and sentiniental desires of mankind satisfied. He zoants guidance in life and tenable ideas based on truih, but he has found flic established religions laclcing in scientific truth, and pJulosophical and scientific reformers not sufficiently appreciative of the needs of man's soul.

As the color plates were printed at great cost bv lithogra]ihic process, and the drawings on the stones immediately after destroyed, there is scarcely any proba- bility of replacing the lost copies by a new^ edition. The author discusses the worship of spirits, demons, gods and other supernatural beings in Egypt from the Predynastic period to the time of the introduction of Christianity into the country. Full use has been made of the results of recent investigations and discoveries, whereby it has been found possible to elucidate a large number of fundamental facts connected with the various stages of religious thought in ancient Egypt, and to assign to them their true position chronologically. The ancient Libyan cult of the man-god Osiris, with its doctrines of resurrection and immortality, is described at length, and the solar cults, i. e., those of Ra.

Dr. Cams pnblished i'lco books in German, Metaphysik in JJ'issen- schaft, EtJiik and Rclii^ion, and Ursachc Griind and Ziceck. 7 he former discusses the significance of philosopliy i)i science, in the domain of morality and in religious doctrine, shozci)ig that a dj'linite world-conception underlies all our intellectual life; while -i^ the latter is pointed out for the first time the difference between Tcause and reason which, simple though it is, is of paramount impoi-iance in scientific and philosophic thought. The confusion that generally prevails on this subject is the source of innumerable errors in the sxstetns of the great philosophers from Aristotle down to the present day. Dr. Cams has again treated the same problem in his later pnbHcafions. especially in Fundamental Problems and in the Primer of Philosophy. "Dr. Carus stands among those philosophers who set themselves in accord with their lime. His ideal is to rmify the activities of the world, or, to • speak more accurately, to help others to perceive their unity. His philosophy is in accord with whatever is best in scientific, or inventive, or artistic achieve- ment. He stands with Comte, with Whitman, and with Emerson in his advocacy of eternal interrogation and efficient creativeness. The religion of Dr. Carus has this practical application — to perform the day's efficient task, believing all things, hoping all things, trusting all things, and proving all things. This is a clean, clear, definite and hcarteni:'.g propaganda." — Elia U\ Pcatiie in the Chicago Tribune. 26 • THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO., CHICAGO. BUDDHISM. Buddhism and Its Christian Critics.

The present book sets forth in brief, but sufificiently detailed outlines, the origin of Buddhism, its phi- losophy, its psychology, and its underlying world-conception contrasting it with Christianity, pointing out similarities, dis- cussing the probabilities of a mutual influence, and finally criticizing the leading Christian critics of lUiddhism. Dr. Carus shows a sympathetic attitude toward Buddhism, with- out, however, opposing Christianity. He pays considerable attention to the mission problem, and advocates missions for the purpose of mutual exchange of thought. "What our author says of missionaries should be read and heeded b\r mis- sionaries cverj-where. As a study in comparative rehgion, as a demarcation between the abstraction and passivity of Buddhism and the activit.v and salva- tion-in-strttggle of Christianity, Dr. Carus's volume is admirable. It is hardly less so in its illuminative description of the origin, basic concepts, philosophy and psychology of Buddhism itself. The author's calm judicial-mindedness and absence of mere sentimentalism peculiarly lit him for the work." —Outlook.

(5 marks.) The sacred l)()oks (^f lUiddhi:^ are very voluminous, and the Scriptures referring;- to the hie of its founder have never been systematically compiled. Soon after the Relig'ious Parliament, when Dr. Cams had been thrown into contact with living, representatives of this remarkable faith, he undertook this lonj^- needed work, and he did it in a conservative as well as sym])a- thetic way, arranging translations of the several sources of the life of the IJuddha in one connected narration, introducing his doctrines, together with the occasion on which they were taught. The bock has proved an unparalleled success, for it has become an authoritative book with the lUiddhists. It is used in temples and schools in Japan, Ceylon, and other Bud- dhist countries, and has been translated into Chinese, Japanese (two translations), Urdu, I'cngali, Teluga, Siamese, Tamil, Malay, etc. ; further into German, Dutch, l-'rench and Spanish. "The book will help its readers to <'i clearer conception of the character of the sweetest of the pagans." — Chicagu Ei'Ciiing Post. "In addition to a ver\' luminans and suggestive preface, Dr. Cams furnishes a table of references, showing at an eye-glance the sources of his extracts and the parallelism in the gospels. He gives also a glossary of names and terms, a method of pronunciation and a good index. The simplicity of this presen- tation, the freedom of the text from notes or uncouth and outlandish dia- critical points, and the general arrangement of the work are admirable. . . It is admirably fitted to be a handbook for the single reader or for classes." — The Critic. "A volume which many readers will find full of fascinating interest. . .

When he discovered the error he wrote : 'T deeply regret not only that such a falsehood w^as allowed to pass unchallenged, but also the fact that it was a falsehood in reality, for I should be very happy were I the author of this tale ....

In the development of its plot the story Nirvana contains an exposition of Ihiddhist psychology, together with an explana- tion of the Buddhist view of life after death. "The scene is in a Brahman village in Northern Central India, and reminds one of parts of Mr. Rudyard Kipling's 'Jnngle Books.' There is a charm- ing account of a wedding ceremony, after which the wise men discourse of the Tathagata as taught hy a wandering disciple of Buddha." —London Spectator. "This little book deserves translation into the languages of all countries where Buddhism is either believed in or studied, for it works on the lines laid down by the Pali originals, to which (with commendable clearness of reference) it owes its inspiration. — The Athenaeum, London. Amitabha, a Story of Buddhist Theology. By Dr. Paul Carus. Pages, 121. Boards, 50 cents net. (2s. 6d.) The story Amitabha has a historical setting in the ascend- ancy of the kingdom of Gandhara, under King Kanishka, whose interest in Buddhism and whose connection with Acvaghosha, the great Buddhist philosopher, are well known. The plot has unity of interest, but gives ample opportunity in discussion and incident to explain and illustrate some of the cardinal points of Buddhism, especially in regard to the way of salva- tion and the God-conception represented by Amitabha Buddha, the Source of Infinite Light and the Standard of Being, as distinct from the Brahman idea of a conscious personal deity. The book is in an edition approximately uniform with Nirvana and contains a few explanatory notes and references in the back. The lettering on the brown board covers is in imitation of Sans- krit characters and the decoration is a detail from the frontis- piece of the book. This frontispiece is a reproduction of a statue found at Gandhara, which is supposed to be the oldest Buddhist statue now in existence. It is especially appropriate to accompany the story of Amitabha, for it represents the influence of the Greek sculptors who in Kanishka's reign "flocked to Gandhara, transplanting the art of their home to the soil of India." 32 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO., CHICAGO.

(Is. 6d.) It is a sketch, not an exhaustive treatise, and still less a history of Chinese philosophy. It purports to serve as an introduction to the intricacies of typically Chinese notions, explaining their S}mbols and revealing their masteries in terse and intelligible language. The brevity is intentional, for the essay is meant to give a bird's-eye view of the Chinese world-conception. While appreciating the remarkable genius exiiibited by the founders of the Chinese civilization, the author points out the foibles of the Chinese and traces them to their source. It is noteworthy that in spite of its candid and unreserved criticism, the essay was well received by the Chinese authorities and was granted the rare honor of being recommended by the Tsung Li Yamen of Peking, the Imperial Foreign Office, and placed on file in their archives. A Chinese scholar writes : "When the Tsung Li Yamen volun- tarily certifies that a Western scholar fully understands Chi- nese philosophy, and the Book of Changes as an incidental sec- tion of the same, it would be well for those who happen to be interested in either of these topics to inquire what he has to say .... SufBce it to say that the author made a profound, if not an absolutely incomprehensible, topic to a certain extent luminous, and to an even greater degree interesting." "The author gives in his introduction terse and discriminating characteriza- tions of the 'rare mixture of deep thought and idle speculations' which make up the Chinese philosophy, and in his conclusion expresses equally just opin- ions of China's present unhappy helplessness." — /. I\I. Foster, Szvatozv, China, in The American Journal of Theology. "Valuable and of unquestioned reliability. The delineation of the philosophy that underlies the Chinese civilization is so ably done in these pages that the reader cannot fail to appreciate the causes which produce Chinese con- servatism." — Toledo Blade.

Beginning- in the first chap- ter with a study of the earliest modes of thought-communica- tion among primitive people of different parts of the world, and tracing the growth of the present system of Chinese cali- graphy. In "Chinese Occultism" some interesting (Oriental mystical ideas are explained as well as the popular methods of divination by means of trigrams and the geomancer's compass. In a special chapter the zodiacs of different nations are com- pared with reference to the Chinese zodiac and also as to a pos- sible common Babylonian origin. This chapter contains many rare and valuable illustrations representing almost all known zodiacs from those of Egypt to those of the natives of the West- ern hemisphere. The influence of Confucius is discussed, and a hurried recapitulation of the most important points in Chinese history is given, together with a review of the long novel which stands in the place of a national epic. Chinese characteristics and social conditions have their place in this volume as well as remarks upon the part played in China by Christian missions, and upon the introduction of Western commercialism. The author's object is to furnish the necessary material for a psy- chological appreciation of the Chinese by sketching the main characteristic features of the ideas which dominate Chinese thought and inspire Chinese morality, hoping thereby to con- tribute a little toward the realization of peace and good will upon earth. Nowhere is there more solid information concern- ing things Chinese gathered into so small a compass as has been done here, and much of it has been dug out from recondite sources sometimes not easily accessible even to sinologists. "The author is to be commended on the completeness and the erudition with which he has handled an obscure subject." — The Argonaut. "To all interested in Chinese and other Eastern civilization this book will possess compelling fascination, so full is it of careful research, ably presented by one of the most competent scholars of the age." — Courier-Journal, Louisz'illc, Ky.

"It goes without saying that the task of obtaining sufficient acquaintance with the Chinese language to translate, under the conditions named, a book like that of Lao-Tze, is a gigantic one. Dr. Carus's success is little short of marvelous. He frequently cites the versions of others, and it seems clear that Dr. Carus has succeeded better than Dr. Legge or Dr. Chalmers in the passages where we are able to compare them — a very remarkable fact, indeed." — North China Herald. "I thank you heartily for your kindness in sending me a copy of your fine translation and critical exposition of Lao-Tze's Tao Teh King. It was years ago that I read it. Your publication of the Chinese text will be highly appre- ciated by all who want to make a study of the philosopher.

The bright cover of yellow and blue is very appropriate and suggestive of the Celestial Kingdom." — The Hartford Post.

Pages, xviii, 482. Price, cloth, $1.50 net. (6s. net.) This is a popnlar exposition of psychology, treating first the philosophical problems of the .origin of mind, and the rise of organized life, together with kindred topics, the ([nestion of vitalism, feeling and motion, natnre of memory, etc. It then discusses the j^hysiologv of brain-activity from the standpoint of evolution, as well as comparative anatomy. This part of the book is fully illustrated, and affords an opportunity for a layman to acquire an insight into the physiology of both animal and human brain functions in their relation to p.sychical proc- esses. Of especial interest may be considered the chapter on the 'Tmmortality of the Race and the Data of Propagation." The rest of the book is devoted to specifically psychological chapters, including the discussion of facts of modern psychol- ogy, such as double personality, hypnotism and its dangers, dreams and hallucinations, suggestion, etc. Of special interest is Dr. Carus's theory of the origin of feeling and consciousness, which originates by organization through memory. Dim feelings become clear by being compared to former feelings. Isolated feelings remain subliminal. They become conscious by being felt. A step further in the origin of mind is made when feelings become representative, i. e.. when thev acquire meaning and when sense impressions denote the presence of objects. Dr. Cams further propounds a new theory of the nature of pleasure and pain, rejecting the old notion that pleasure is identical with growth, and pain with decay. ( Cf. also his article in the Moiiisf, \'l, 432.) His theory of the physiologi- cal conditions of consciousness has been discussed by physiol- ogists. ( For instance, in the Journal of Neurology, by its editor, the late Clarence L. Herrick). Dr. Cams claims that the cortex is the storehouse of memories, but not the seat of con- sciousness. Its activity is only partly illumined by conscious- ness according to physiological conditions. The conclusion of the book is devoted to ethical and religious problems, such as freedom of will and responsibility, the origin of death, immor- tality, the communism of soul life, and the soul of the iniiverse. "A solid addition to the works upon physiological psychology." — Public Of'iliioii.

Pages, vi, 242. Cloth,' $1.00 (5s.) A systematic exposition of a philosophy of science based upon critically-sifted experience. Dr. Carus builds up his philosophy upon facts. He rejects axioms of any kind, even in mathe- matics. He derives the principles from which he builds up the formal sciences (mathematics, logic, etc.), from experience; discusses the nature of causation, the prevalent confusion of the notions, cause and reason, the problems of teleology and free will, the nature of the human luind, perceptions, generali- zations, ideas, and the continued preservation of ideas from generation to generation, closing with a discussion of the relig- ious problem. "Combines scholarship and original thoitght with an accurate and popular style of writing, and the result is a fascinating work upon what most people consider an unusually dry subject." — American Israelite. "The handiest and most educative, the best and brightest discussion of such problems as vex the souls of philosophers, accessible to English readers." — Amos Waters in IVatts's Eiterary Guide. "This little book is the most readable and lucid presentation of a system of philosophy that I have ever read." — Paper and Press. "While not expressly designed for the instruction of beginners in philosophy its text is divested of much of that abstract scientific nomenclature so puz- zling to the uninitiated, while the subject is presented with such simplicity that its leading idea is gathered at a glance." — Harrisburg Telegram. "This volume by one of the deepest thinkers and clearest writers of the age is worthy of careful consideration even by the most conservatively orthodox in religion and philosophy." — Cumberland Presbyterian. "The Primer of Philosophy is the very best, if not the only work, in which men and women of the world, as well as scholars, will be able to find a rational, correct and clear explanation of the words and basic principles of philosophy.

This hook is a popular treatment of philosophical topics, and among them the most important is Form and Formal Thongiil, pointing out the contrast between sensation and pure reason, matter and the inter-relation of its component parts. It lays the foundation for a comprehension of the significance of Form ; the arrangement of the order of natmx', the laws of nature and all that is implied thereby, the nature of spirit, of ethics, of ideals, of art, and also of causation in general. Many of these articles are discussions which took place in The Open Court, and the appendix contains replies to critics of different schools, among them agnostics, dogmatists, mystics, materialists, and others.

I'JO.'^. l'ai;cs. vi. Hi. 75 cents net. (3s. Od. net.) This book is not mclaf^hysical, but aitli>nctapliy'Siial. The idea that science and philosophy are contrasts still prevails in many circles, even among- advanced thinkers, and the claim is frc- (|neiitly made that philosophy leaves a surd, some irreducible element analogous to the irrational in mathematics. Dr. Carus stands for the oi)posite view. He believes in the efficiency of science and to him the true philosophy is the philosophy of science. Now it is true that certain methods of logic are insuf- ficient to reduce our experiences to rational concepts, and science in general is limited in its various branches to the methods employed, but there is no need of assuming, for that reason, that the surd in the intellectual realm possesses any real objective value, and would render philosophy ultimately meta- physical or mystical. The present volume investigates the nature of this surd of metaphysics, which so far has proved the greatest stumbling block of philosophy to scientists. It looms up in Kant's phil- osophy as the "thing-in-itself," and is still adhered to in some form or another by many prominent thinkers of the present day. The author's intention is to establish philosophy as a science, and so he endeavors to make it the science of the sciences. He discusses in the present volume the significance which this mysterious element has played in the realm of thought, and propounds his own views in contradiction to those of Deussen, Jodl, Mach and Max Miiller. The aim of the book is to liberate philosophy of the surd which, in the days of metaphysicism, has clung to it and prevented its development into a philosophy of science. But the change was felt even a century ago by the prophetic poet, Friederich Schiller, who, though an admirer and even a disciple of Kant, was impressed wnth the redundancy of the "t!iiiig-in-itsc!f" in philosophv, and so he wTOte the following satirical distich : "Since Metaphj'sics of late Without heirs to her fathers was gathered, Here at the auctioneer's are 'Things-in-themselves' to be sold." "Filled with clear, wholesome, strong, intellectual food." — lUiity. "A well prepared work for the student of philosophy. The logic, in the main is strong and convincing, and Dr. Carus's views are ably presented and de- fended." — Bookseller, Newsdealer and Stationer. "Dr. Carus stands for man's deliberate correspondence with the forces of evolution, and sees in his creative power, his practical achievements, his addi- tion to usable thought, and in his hands' work, his true significance." — Chicago Tribune. 46 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO., CHICAGO. PHILOSOPHY (Con.) Kant's Prolegomena to Any Future Metaphysic. Edited in Ei^qiish l)y Dr. Paul Carus. With much supple- mentary material for the study of Kant ; Portraits, i'aulsen's chronology of Kant, etc. Pages, 301. Cloth, 7h cents net. (3s. 6d. net.) Convinced of the significance of Kant's Prolegomena, Dr. Carus olfers a new translation of this most important Kantian pam|)hlet, which is practically an ex])lanation of Kant himself, setting forth the intention of his Critique of Pure Reason. Dr. Carus believes that Kant has formulated the problem of phil- osophy correctly, but that he has not succeeded with its solu- tion. Pointing out the errors of Kant, which consist in the looseness of the use of certain terms, especially the words "experience" and "ideal," he builds up his own philoso])hy, which is, to characterize it in a word, the philosophy of science based on experience, observation and experiment. "I am very much pleased with Kant's Prolcgoincna, and shall make use of the hook with a class of about sixty students some time after Easter. It is, by all odds, the best book through which to appreciate Kant's system." — George Duncan, Professor in Yale University. "A new translation which has some advantages of lucidity over the older Enghsh versions made when Kant's hard terminology had been less thor- oughly mastered by scholars than it now is. . . It forms an admirable introduction to the writings of the founder of modern transcendentalism, and will prove welcome to students on both sides of the Atlantic." — Ttie Scotsman. Kant and Spencer.

For a discussion of this book see "Kant and Spencer." by Ror.KRT Stout. Open Court. Vol. Xl\\ No. 530, p. 437.

ETHICS AND RELIGION. Our Children. Hints from Practical l'!x])cricncc for Parents and Teachers. By Paul Cakus. i'ajJ^cs, 207. $1.00 net. (4s. 6d. net.) In the little book Our CJiildrcn, Dr. Cams offers a uni(jne con- tribution to pedagos^ical literatnre. Withont any theoretical pretensions it is a strong- defense for the rights of the child, dealing with the responsibilities of parenthood, and with the first inculcation of fundamental ethics in the child mind and the true principles of correction and guidance. Each detail is forcefully illustrated by informal incidents from the author's experience with his own children, and his suggestions will prove of great value to young parents and kindergartners. Plints as to the first acquaintance with all branches of knowl- edge are touched upon — mathematics, natural science, foreign languages, etc. — and practical wisdom in regard to the treat- ment of money, hygiene, and similar problems. "Brightly written, broad-minded, instructive, this book deserves serious perusal and praise." — Chicago Rccord-Hcrald. "Our Children has a value which it is difficult to exaggerate. The strong common sense of the book as a whole can better be judged from an extract than from any praise of it, however particularized. . . It is difficult to conceive of anything coming up in relation of parent or teacher to a child which does not find discussion or suggestion in this compact and helpful little book. It will be an aid to parents and teachers everywhere — an educa- tion for them no less than for the child." — Chicago Daily News. "We feel certain that any parent who thoughtfully reads and studies this book will be richly paid, and if the readers be parents with growing children they will keep the book liy them for frequent consultation, not for iron rules, but for sympathetic suggestion." — Commercial Nezvs, Danville, III. "From my own personal point of view I can only welcome this volume in our pedagogical literature and express the hope that it may become a household fiook in the library of evcrv parent and teacher." — M. P. E. Groszmanii, Ph. D., Director of Groszmann School for Nervous Children. "The book is delightful and most helpful. I read it with much pleasure and profit, then re-read most of it aloud to my husband. The suggestions for disci- pline were exactly what I needed for our second boy ; he had always been a great problem, but I was too stupid and possibly too near to him to solve it for myself. The chapter on 'The Naughty Child' seems to have done this, and I feel as if a wonderful thing had happened. . . Our neighborhood club of women, mothers of 51 children, are reading Our Children, a chapter at a time, at club meetings and finding it so helpful. It is such i^ood sense." —E.viracts from letters from a young mother in OklaJioma.

The Nature of the State is a small treatise, conveying a great truth, throwing light not only on the character of communal life, but also on the nature of man's soul. It proves the sig- nificance of the social interrelations, and refutes the errors of individualism. It contains chapters with the following titles : Does the State Exist? Was the Individual Prior to Society? The State a Product of Natural Growth ; The Authority of the State and the Right to Revolution ; The Modern State Based on Revolution ; Treason and Reform.

He then passes to the demonology of the Middle Ages, the Reformation, and Modern times, discussing the hicjuisition, witchcraft, and the history of the Devil in verse and fahle. The ])rol)lem of evil is thus treated in its historical phase, but the main purport of the book is philosophical. ])ointing out that the contrasts, good and evil, are the realities of life, and so the ideas, God and Satan, stand for actual facts. Though there is no Devil with horns and hoofs, as represented in Mediaeval folklore, he is a real presence in the life of man which has to be reckoned with. "It is seldom that a more intensely absorbing study of tills kind has been made, and it can be safely asserted that the subject has never before been so comprehensively treated. . . Neither public nor private librarian can afford to be without this book, for it is a well of information upon a subject fascinating to both students and casual readers." — Chicago Israelite.

Dr. Cams contends that Samson's prototype is to be found in those traditions of all primitive historical peoples which relate to a solar deity. He believes that genuine tradition, no matter how mythological, is more conservative than is at first apparent. Thougli the biblical account of Samson's deeds, like the twelve labors of Heracles, is the echo of an ancient solar epic which glorifies the deeds of Shamash in his migration through the twelve signs of the zodiac, there may have been a Hebrew hero whose deeds reminded the Israelites of •Shamash, and so his adventures were told with modifications which naturally made the solar legends cluster about his personality. References are fully given, authorities quoted and comparisons are carefully drawn between Samson on the one hand, and Heracles, Sha- mash, Melkarth and Siegfried on the. other. The appendix contains a controversy between Mr. Geo. W. Shaw and the author in which is discussed at some length the relation between myth and history. "Charmingly printed and copiously illustrated." — Picayune. "The discussion is learned and in good spirit." — ]]'atchma}i.

It teaches an immortality consisting in the survival of our ideas and aspirations which are the quintessence of our very soul. The author takes pains to prove that this is a true Immortality and not luere fiction. All doctrines of immortality taught in allegorv or symbol are but makeshifts to express for people untrained in philosojihical thought this grandest of all religious truths.

The new era of the relig- ion of the future, which is vividly described in this pamphlet, has its dawn in the spirit that made the Religious Parliament possible. This little volume contains a critical analysis of Prof. Romanes' "Thoughts on Religion," discussing tiie reasons for his reconversion to Christianity shortly before his death. The Religion of Science. By Dr. Paul Cakus. Pages vi, 145. Cloth, 50 cents net. (2s. 6d.) Religion, in order to be stable and vital, must be able to stand the test of scientific critique. That religion alone fulfills all demands which contains no presumptions incongruous with science, and is warranted by the verified truths of science. The present volume is an attempt to outline the doctrines of a religious conviction which is not merely based on belief, and whose ideas of God, soul, immortality, together with its moral aspirations are tenable before the tribunal of science. "The best and briefest possible popular exposition of the scientific attitude towards tlie religious sentiment that we have read." — Nczv England Mima::inc. " 'The Religion of Science' is, in its way, a masterpiece. Its author is unique, interesting and suggestive as a thinker. We may not, we do not, agree with his conchisions, but we admire his force, originalit}' and independence." • — Boston Daily Traveler. "It is one of those helpful books which, instead of repudiating man's part, sneering at his religious history, and with grotesque and narrow bigotry more intolerable than that which it scorns, renouncing the hard-earned wealth of human experience and striving and martyrdoms, rather enters joy- fully into the spirit of that past and learning its wisdom goes forward in the strength of it to new positions of security and enlightenment." — Rev. Robert D. Toivnc. "With much that he says we fully agree, and we respect the moral earnestness with which he discusses the problems of life and duty. . . We have read his book with interest, and we cordially echo the sentiment he expresses that 'blessed is he who trusts in the truth, who hearkens to its behests, and leads a life in which obedience to truth is exemplified.' " — Science. 60 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO., CHICAGO. RELIGION (Con.) Homilies of Science. r.v Dk. Paul Cakus. I'aores x, 317. Cloth. -;ilt top, $1.50. (7s. 6cl.) This is a collection of short sermons from the standpoint of a religion which recognizes no religions doctrine that is incon- sistent with the trntiis taught by science. Among the topics presented we mention: "Is Religion Dead?" "Living the Truth," "Is (iod a Mind?" "The Religion of Joy." "The Lib- eral's Folly," "Faith and Doubt," "The American Ideal." "They are written in a direct and interesting style, generally profound in thought, and elicit the attention of the intelligent reader.'' — Rcfurmcd Chitrch Rcz'tcn;. "Many of these articles might appear without criticism in the most orthodox church weeklies and magazines. One in particular, on 'The Hunger After Righteousness,' might be read from any Christian pulpit as a sermon, while the papers on 'Sexual Ethics,' 'Monogamy and Free Love,' and 'Morality and Virtue' will astonish the very large class who nmagine that rejection of dogma tends to subversion of morals. This is a good book for those who want to know what unbelievers really believe." — Book News. "What Dr. Cams says on ethical subjects, though containing nothing particu- larly new, will lind an echo in the hearts of good men of every creed. He is wholly uninfected with the socialistic heresies now so widely prevalent, and he sternly rebukes those free-thinkers who regard morality with indifference, and scoff at its reciuirements. . . As an example of existing tendencies, as well as by its moral earnestness, this book will interest the reader." — Science. "It has all the genuine life and spirit of Christianity, but is free from the dogmatic theology which is a stumbling l)lock to so man}' intelligent believers. . . ]*'vcry one who is interested in the great problems of life, death and immortality should read this volume and ponder over its practical suggestions." — Daily Herald, Norristuzvn, Pa. "It is always a pleasure to read the utterances of the author of this book when religion and morality are under consideration. He is so frank in stating his own views and so utterly free from harshness or uncharitableness in stating his opposition to the views of others, as to be able to carry an}^ reader along without personal irritation. . . We are attracted by the strong moral and spiritual tone in the book, and find a reverence and devotion here for things of the spirit which do not exist in some of our so-called religious writers. . . It will stir many a soul to a higher life." — Public Opinion. "WHiile these essays are opposed to some of the teachings of dogmatic Christianity, they are full of the spirit of the highest Christian morality and are not in any true sense antagonistic to religions faith. They are constructive rather than destructive." — Review of Rcz'iezus, New ]'ork. "Their author is evidently animated by a broadly catliolic 'Spirit, is widely read, and writes in the interests of higher morality." — Alilzcaukee Sentinel. 61 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO., CHICAGO. 1 ■ ^^v ^ni ^^M ('1 ■^1 THE CROWN OF THORNS.

The fascinating Indian legend of the annual sacrifice to the waters of Niagara of a beautiful maiden has been made in this story the basis of a tale of religious development and emancipa- tion, which freed the Indian tribe of the Oniahgahrahs from the thrall of a cruel superstition, though without dishonor to their consciences and sacred traditions. The -scene is laid in the time of the French exploration of the North and Middle West and the chief European role is played by the historic figure of Father Hennepin. "As a dainty and delicate, fanciful and philosophical story, it is interesting." — Frederick Starr in Unity. "A beautiful story, told in simple and admirably chosen language and with plenty of pure and ingenious moralizing between the lines for the reader." — Chicago Record-Herald. "Dr. Carus tells the legend with many pathetically romantic incidents, in lucid and prettily adaptable language, not a word but conveys a direct and harmonious meaning. There's a touch of exalted moralizing in the story, the kind that appeals to the heart as well as to the intellect." — Exchange. The Crown of Thorns. A Story of the Time of Christ. By Dr. Paul Carus. Illustra- tions bv Eduard Biedermann. Pages, 73. Cloth, 7S cents net. (3s. 6d. net.) "The Crown of Thorns'* is a story of the time of Christ. It is fiction of the character of legend, utilizing materials preserved in both the canonical scriptures and the Apocryphal traditions, but- giving preference to the former. The hopes and beliefs of the main personalities, however, can throughout be verified by documentary evidence. The religious milieu is strictly historical. and is designed to show the w^ay in which Christianity developed from Judaism through the Messianic hopes of the Nazarenes as interpreted by the Apostle Paul of Tarsus. "A beautifully written, well-illustrated and entertaining little book." — The Bookworm. "Though a short story it is one of singular charm and power. As a whole it is a capital instance of how legitimately and effectively for the particular purpose in view the imagination may cooperate with the historic spirit. The mood of the story is pervaded by a sentiment of exceeding delicacy and reverence. . . There is not one false note in it." — Chicago Evening Post. 63 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO., CHICAGO.

Dr. Carus has brought out this feature in retelling the story after Apuleius, the sole author through whom it has been preserved. "Dr. Cams has brought out the religions and philf isopliical Icihih'li:' with more emphasis tlian it possesses in the original. By obliterating the tlipi)int and satirical tone of the Greek writer and adding a few skillful touches where the real significance of the tale lies, he has made a stor_v capable of giving religious comfort and at the same time of delighting the ethical and artistic sense." — Chicago Tribune.

(3s. 6d.) Schiller, the iioet, is better known than Schiller the thinker. The present monograph, which is devoted to the biography of Schiller, dwells mainly on his philosophy as the same has l3een expressed in poems not generally noticed as they deserve to l)e. "A strony character sketch, with critical api)reciati(m (if his work and specimens of his poetry in German and English translations, makes this volume to the Schiller lover a very attractive hook." — Methodist Book ami I'lihlishiiig IIoiiSc\ Toronto. "Schiller's philosophical thought, his keen insight into sham and pretense, and his heart-bracing utterances for freedom, may indeed be made clear to all; and here Dr. Cams has done significant service. . . We commend this book heartily." — Christian Register. "This adequately illustrated and tastefully bound volume by Dr. Paul Cams is an admirable memorial of the recent Schiller Centenary. . In addition to a biographical sketch we have two thoughtful essays by Dr. Cams on Schiller as a philosophical poet and on Schiller's poetry.

The appearance of the Xenions is significant in the lives of both Goethe and Schiller. Each one of them is the product of their common activity. Some of them are personal and satirical, while others incorporate in the terse form of a distich profound thoughts or far-reaching moral principles. The latter class con- taining thoughts of enduring worth have been selected here for the sake of- making them, as they deserve to be, a part of English literature. They are translated in the original meter and with the assistance of a preface constitute a good introduction to the methods of classical prosodv. The following is an instance of the satire directed against the author's contemporary critics : "Don't be disturbed by the barking; Remain in your seats, for the barkers Wish but to get in your place.

In addition to hymns of a general nature, including a new version of "Nearer My God to Thee," it also contains a bridal song for marriage ceremonies, and funeral anthems.

This is the original German text of the foregoing as it first appeared in the Philosophischc MonatsJufte, XXX, Nos. 5, 6. There is a great doubt among literary critics as to whether philosophical poetry is possible. Here is a versified discourse with the world-problem as a theme. The author takes the title of another poem of the same general nature, written by another Carus (Titus Lucretius). But while the poet-philoso- pher of the golden age of Latin literature is ditfuse and argu- mentative, his modern follow-er is terse, and attempts only to express the thoughts and feelings of the science-moulded modern man, in contemplation of the Great All. "To me your poem is a song that thrills with genuine loftiness and grandeur; a romance recounting in rhythmic cadences and in reverential spirit the tale of the All-Soul. It condemns nothing but that which is out of place, such as ignorance and superstition, etc., and these are not condemned but merely disproved." — Dr. T. T.

He has the master faculty of seizing the essential and passing by the accidental. His style (especially as freely translated into English by Professor Carruth of Kansas) is pleasing and restful.

The mathematical reading public iiiiacquaiitted Z'^'ith German is wider considerable obligation to Professor Beman for the present faithful rendering of these tzvo celebrated essays of Dedekind. Mod- ern logical I'leics of continuity and arithmetic are largely based on the results which Dedekind and his contemporary, G. Cantor, fur- nished (the first of their essays zvas published in i8/j), a)id it is good that these investigations should be made accessible to all readers in their original form.

As a motto for the American Edition the author writes : "A noble human life does not end on earth with death. It continues in the minds and the deeds of friends, as well as in the thought and activity of the nation." Gustav Ereytag did not write his novel with the intention of teaching psychology or preaching ethics. But the impartial description of life does teach ethics, and every poet is a j^sychol- ogist in the sense that he portrays human souls. "Gustav Freytag anticipated the results that have lately been established by the experiments of modern psychology in this remarkable novel, which in more than one respect incorporates the spirit of the times. It is more than an ordinary story. It deals with great subjects, compelling thought. Yet at the same time it is interestingly told and highly entertaining." — The Commercial Travelers' Home Ma,^a.':'ne. Martin Luther. By Gustav Ereytag.

He writes with admiration, svmpathy and humor, and the brief narrative is made fuller by a number of illustrations taken from old German prints and manuscripts. The translation is well done, and serves the purpose of making real and vivid to English readers this man of extraordinarv resolution and influence upon his contemporaries and posterity." — Philadelpliia Pitblie Ledger. "Freytag's vigorous sketch of Luther as he stands, like Thor of old, enveloped in murky clouds while the lightning flashes and the thunder-hanuner booms, serves well to illustrate the climax of that great struggle which forms the innermost kernel of medieval history — the struggle between the iron-heeled collectivism of the Romans and the fierce individualism of the Germanic races." — Chicago Tribune. 102 fc o o 103 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO., CHICAGO.

It gives, incidentally, an insight into the Hindu caste system, and, all in all, is a very pleasing tale of the power of love to break the power of tradition and prejudice." — Buffalo Christian Advocate. "This little tale is not only a fascinating sketch of the religious life of the native Indians, but also a picture of the aspirations which in exceptional cases prompt faithful believers among the Brahmans, like so many Qiristians of Europe and America, to outgrow the old rituals and ceremonies of a dogmatic and narrowly sectarian worship, and to widen into a cosmic religion of humanitarianism." — Chicago Evening Post. 10 + THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO..

He maintained that only material tJ\ini:^s could be the object of^thoui^ht ; therefore that philosophy cannot treat of spirit and God, but that these belong only to the realm of theological speculation. From these premises he argues a wholly materialistic theory of perception. Later Berkeley follozved a similar line of argumcjit but carried it further, thus reach- ing the opposite conclusion ; for proceeding from sensualislic prem- ises he finally denies the existence of matter and thus arrives at a subjective idealism. The kernel of Hobbes's metaphysical theory is in the foUoiving sentence from his essay De Cor pore: "The icorld (I mean . . . the whole mass of all thiu<:s that are) is corporeal, that is to say, body; . . . and tJiat which is not body is no part of the iiniverse." The Metaphysical System of Hobbes, As contained in twelve chapters from his "Elements of Phil- osophy Concerning- IJody," and in briefer extracts from his "Human Nature" and "Leviathan." Selected by Mary Whiton Calkins. Pages, xxv, 187. Cloth. Price, 75 cents net. (3s. net.) This voluiue aims to supply the need of an historically valuable summary of materialistic doctrine and to give an adequate im- pression of tire De Corpore and Hobbes's treatment of material- ism in "Human Nature" and "Leviathan." GEORGE JACOB HOLYOAKE. MR. HOLYOAKE zcas the founder of the Secularist movement in. England and the originator of the name. Secularism espouses the cause of the world against that of theology and claims that religion ought never to be anything but the individual's ozvn private affair. Mr. Elolyoake's "Confession of Belief" is as concise as possible, and, since he is the standard bearer of Secularism, lie speaks zcith authority. The Open Court rublisliing Company does not agree with his conviction in regard to religious matters, but it recognises his sincerity and integrity and Jias presented his book to the public in the belief that the first condition of a reconciliation between the tzco parties zcithin and zcithout the church zcouid be for religious men to listen patiently to tJie complaints made by sincere and sen- sible adversaries of the church. 109 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO..

HUC is knoicn as one of the first Western authorities on Chinese eustoms and relii^ion. The publication of his "Trai'els" in French in 1850 zvas soon follozvcd by tzco works on "The Cliinese Empire" and "Christianity in China." Material for all tliese leorks was obtained during the eventful journey, through the Orient which he pursued in company with ^L Gabet, another Lazarist missionary. They zvere very clever in their missionary zcork — ^cunning as ser- pents and yet as guileless as children. With tJie spirit of St. Paul they adopted the Chinese manner of dress while in the Celestial Empire, but cut off tlieir queues and dressed as lamas zchen in Tibet. In Lhassa they were treated zcith the greatest respect by the Regent, but the representative of the Chinese goz'crnment insisted on their e.vile and their interesting visit came to an end, quite in opposition to the Kcgcnfs zvishes.

Dr. Hutchinson owes allegiance to no school; what he gives us is plainly the outcome of earnest personal thought. . . .

"The title may frighten away some very orthodox people, yet there is nothing very alarmingly radical in Darwinism, after all. And this book is written not to give offense to religionists, but in the cheery spirit of one who believes there is a nobler, broader conception in the advancement of the race than in the mere uplifting and salvation of the individual. Since we must fall in the race, let us fall forward, not for any gain to ourselves in any hereafter, but because it less impedes the progress of those behind us who have not yet fallen. That is his gospel." — Newark Daily Advertiser. "We can commend Dr. Hutchinson for having given us a cheerful, wise and instructive series of Darwinian sermons.

Though born in Turin, and President of the Academy of Sciences at Berlin under Frederick the Great for t7(.'enty years, Lai:;ranj^e came of an old French family of Touraine, said to be allied to that of Descartes. At the a;^e of nineteen he had made the greatest dis- coz'cry in mathematics since that of the infinitesimal calculus, namely, the creation of the method of the Calculus of Pariations. At the age of twenty-six he was at the zenith of European fame, but perma- nently broken in health, although by remarkable care of liimself he lived to the age of seventy-seven. He lived for nothing but science, but though conversant with all branches, including medicine, he knew his forte and rarely e.vpressed an opinion on anything that zeas not connected with mathematics.

It would be difficult to overestimate the importance or mag- nitude of the labors of Leibniz. His attainments are universal. He disfiiiindshed himself alike in history, jurisprudence, loi^ic, meta- physics, mechanics, and mathematics, beiui:; joint founder of the infinitesimal calculus and inventor of the symbol of intc!j;ration. With Descartes Leibniz affirmed that cz'erythini^ in nature can be explained mechanically ; that occult causes must never be assigned to phenomena; but he differed from Descartes in insisting that the source of mechanicalism is in metaphysics.

To the unlearned icorld at large Max Miillcr stood for the per- sonHieation of phlloloi^ieal seholarship, ivhich he knew hozc to make intelligible and attraetive to the popular mind. But his researches compreJiended all departments of philosophy and religion and as a simper of popular scientific thought he may be said to rank with Huxley and Tyndall. When he undertook the editing of the Sacred Books of the East it zcas with the secret hope that the publication of canons of other religions would produce a kindlier feeling toward alien races and cause people to understand and appreciate their own religion more fairly and fully. Philosopliically Max Miil- lcr stands for the doctrine of the identity of language and thought. He disclaimed being a philologist in the purely technical sense and considered himself the founder of a new Science of Language. To him — and here lie follows Ludzvig Noire — the problem of the origin of language was the problem of the origin of thought, and the solutions of the science of thought he sought in the researches of the science of language. Three Introductory Lectures on the Science of Thought. With a correspondence on "Thought Without Words," be- tween F. Max Miiller and Francis Gahon, the Duke of Argyll, George J. Romanes and others. Professor Max Miiller sets forth in this book his view of the identity of Language and Thought, which is a further development of Ludwig Noire's theory that "man thinks because he speaks."

"Students of psychology may read this bonk with prnUi, and all who love to retlect upon the movements of the mind under the directinu of inhibitions of volition will be entertained by it.

Baron, Fellow in Clark University. I'JOO. Cloth, gilt top. Pages, 357. $1.75 net. (7s. Od. net.) The book contains an introductory chapter on the motor na- ture of the constructive imagination. Part I. analyzes the im- agination into its intellectual, emotional, and unconscious fac- tors, its organic conditions and the principle of unity ; Part II. treats of the development of the imagination in animals, children, primitive man, and the higher forms of invention ; Part III. enumerates the principal types of imagination, plastic, diffluent, mystic, scientific, practical and mechanical, commer- cial, and Utopian. Professor Ribot gives here a classical exposition of a branch of psychology which has often been discussed, but perhaps never before in a thoroughly scientific manner. Although the purely reproductive imagination has been studied with consid- erable enthusiasm from time to time, the creative or construc- tive variety has been generally neglected and is popularly sup- posed to l^e confined within the limits of esthetic creation. "It is an ingeniously simple book, wherein originality in thought is correlated with our knowledge of imitative processes, and the unknown readily brought within the scope of the known."' — Chicago Daily Nczi's. "The chapter on 'The Commercial Imagination' is a highly interesting original study." — Outlook. "To commend so unique a volume to the discerning reader is time and space wasted. It has already taken its rightful place as one of the very few creative works of the last decade." — Cumberland Presbyterian. 144 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO.. CHICAGO. RIBOT (Con.) The Evolution of General Ideas. V>y Tii. RiBOT. Authorized translation Ijy Francis A. Welp.y. Pages, 231. Cloth. $1.25. (5s.) The author establishes three periods in the development of the processes of abstracting and generalizing : ( 1 ) inferior abstraction, prior to the appearance of speech; (2) interme- diate abstraction, accompanied by words, which are at first only accessory; (3) superior abstraction, where words alone exist in consciousness. "Psychologists and tcaclicrs everywhere would do well to consider the funda- mental truths and principles which this most scientihc of their number is bringing out for the right treatment of the youthful mind and brain of the child." — St. Louis Globt:-Dcnwcrat. "The whole treatise deserves the attention of teachers of psychology and is so full of illustration as to be of interest to ordinary readers." — Indcpcndcut. "Professor Ribot gives the reader plenty of leeway for his own opinion or research. He gets over his theme rapidly, leaving behind clear impressions as to the world's movement in psychological and spiritual growth, compara- tive philology, anthropology, and general science — yet never fatigues by being prosy." — Tlic U.

The earlier one shows Jiim as a power- ful critic of theism exposing its weakness on the ground of evi- dences supported by philosophy and the natural sciences. In con- trast to the Candid Examination of Tlieism stands the aufJior's Thoughts on Religion, written at different periods during his last illness and published posthunwnslv by his friend. Charles Gore, Canon of Jl^estminster. His faith was of a peculiar compass, for his mind 7vas broad enough to harbor, along with a purified Chris- tianity, a philosophy based upon a rigorous investigation of the facts of nature. His conviction of the ''immortality that is noie" is beautifully expressed in the follozeing lines written as a memo- rial to Charles Darwin: 'Tis said that memory is life, And that, though dead, men are aHve: Removed from sorrow, care, and strife. They live because their works survive. And some find sweetness in the thought That immortality is now; That though our earthly parts arc brought To re-unite with all below, The spirit and the life yet live In future lives of all our kind, And, acting still in them, can give Eternal life to every mind. The web of things on every side Is joined by lines we may not see; And, great or narrow, small or wide, What has been governs what shall be. No change in childhood's early day, No storm that raged, no thought that ran, But leaves a track upon the clay Which slowly hardens into man ; And so, amid the race of men, No change is lost, seen or unseen ; And of the earth no denizen Shall be as though he had not been. 146 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO..

From the German by T. J. McCormack. Pages, 149. Cuts, 37. Cloth, 75 cents net. (3s. 6d. net.) "Professor Schubert's essays make delightful as well as instructive reading. They deal, not with the dry side of mathematics, but with the philosophical side of that science on the one hand and its romantic and mystical side on the other. No great amount of mathematical knowledge is necessary in order to thoroughly appreciate and enjoy them. They are admirably iucid and simple and answer questions in which every intelligent man is interested." — Chicago Ei'ciiiiig Post. "They should delight the jaded teacher of elementary arithmetic, who is too liable to drop into a mere rule of thumb system and forget the scientific side of his work. Their chief merit is however their intelligibiHty. Even tile lay mind can understand and take a deep interest in what the German professor has to say on the history of magic squares, the fourth dimension and squaring of the circle." — Saturday Rez'iciv. "Perhaps most interesting of all is a delightfully written history of the squaring of the circle, from the earliest times down to the demonstration by Lindcmann of the impossibility of the construction. . . . Every essay in the collection is clear, sound, instructive and entertaining." — Journal of Physical Chemistry. "Professor Schubert expounds with great lucidity, and the translator's work has been admirably done." — Manchester Guardian. "A most pleasing presentation of fundamental mathematical truths, couched in such language and expressions as to make it particularly acceptable to those who, though greatly interested in such matters, have not devoted them- selves so exclusively to them as to become finished masters." — Journal of Western Society of E}tgincers.

The most important topics discussed are the God-conception of Ikiddhism, the immortality of the soul, the significance of Buddhist ethics, and the value of thought and work. The manner in which these subjects are presented is thoroiighly in accord with Western modes of thinking, so as to be easily com- prehensible to Christian readers. "Soyen Shaku is rated as one of the foremost Buddhist thinkers of Japan. His thoughts conveyed to us in the smooth and scholarly English of I\lr. Suzuki are hoth instructive and interesting. His views of life and of the highest metaphysical problems are well worth careful consideration." — Cleveland Plain Dealer. "Buddhism is generally so misrepresented in the official accounts of it given in encyclopedias and works of reference that take their articles on this sub- ject from Christian clergymen, that a work like this whi;h exhibits its teachings from the inside is sure of a welcome from thoughtful and fair- minded readers." — Scotsman.

"I love it because it is not 'prayer' in the old selfish, vulgar sense, but a noble dialogue between the transitory and the permanent in the human soul, and leaves the latter supreme as in the concluding lines of Faust." — Thaddcus Burr JJ'akciiian. "These are no light, lifeless prayers of a passing pilgrim — vain desires of an empty soul. They are sterling petitions, every one of them, uttered from an abundant soul that doubtless has sorrowed much, thought deeph', desired greatly, and j'earns for sane, ennobling, inspiring gifts." — E.vchaiigc. "These are rosaries of uplift and are very beautiful means of soul medita- tion. In almost all of these 'prayers' there is plenty to take example from in the formation and the utteraaice of our own daily inner prayers. . . . Of course such a book is by no means to be merged in any degree with the books of our various religious devotions ; but apart from these the reader will find herein much incentive to a refined and helpful meditation for daily, hourli' encouragement." — Boston Courier.

In many instances her style is so excellent that the aphorism is a veritable gem sparkling with the truth presented in a crystal garb of expression." — L. C. Moiiin, Dean of Armour Institute. '' 'My Little Book of Prayer' is the Aeolian harp, the soul of emancipated man, a literature of feeling rather than of thought, of heart beats rather than cerebrations. It is, in a measure, as strikingly the ripened heritage of the ages as Shakespeare's soul or Darwin's mind. Nations, not individuals, beget genius. Miss Strode's book is an incontrovertible evidence of the continuous evolution of nations — and man." — Walter .Scott Rosciilhium in The Open Court. 159 THE OPEN COURT PUBLISHING CO., CHICAGO. DAISETZ TEITARO SUZUKI. MR. SUZUKI is a Japanese Biiildhisl seliolar ami is one of the foremost authorities of today on the text of the ancient CJiinese chissics, as icell as on all Buddhistic lore. i<'Jietlier of India, China, or Japan. He made a specialty of relij^ion and philosophy at the Tokyo Imperial Uniz'crsity and followed up his studies there by. special work on Buddhis)n under the personal guidance of the Rt. Rev. Soyen Shaku, Lord .Ihbot of Kamakura Acvaghosha's Discourse on the Awakening of Faith in the Mahayana. Translated for the first time from the Chinese version. By Teitaro Suzuki. Pages, 176. Cloth, $1.25 net. (5s. net.) Afvaghosha was the great philosopher of Buddhism ; he was the first champion, promulgator, and expounder of the Mahay- ana doctrine, or Northern Buddhism,^ and lived somewhere within the last half of the first century B. C, and the first half of the first century A. D. This treatise does not exist in the original Sanskrit, but in its Chinese translation it is still used as a text-book for the instruction of Buddhist priests. "We know of no treatise presenting more admirabl}' the essential principles of Btiddhism." — Pttblic Opinion. "This treatise is valuable because it is the pioneer in formulating the doctrine of faith so prominent in later Japanese Buddhist sects. It is not easy reading after all the translator has done to facilitate our apprehension of it, but it is worthy of study and a welcome addition to the not very abundant stock of Mahayana texts from the Chinese." — American Journal of Theology. T'ai-Shang Kan-Ying P'ien. Treatise of the Exalted One on Response and Retribution. Translated from the Chinese by Teitaro Suzuki and Dr. Paul Carus.

The book contains a critical and descriptive introduction, and the entire Chinese text in large and distinct characters with the verbatim translation of each page arranged on the opposite page in corresponding vertical columns.

With Extracts from the Chi- nese commentary. Translated by Teitaro Suzuki and Dr. Paul Carus. 1906. Pages, 48. 25 cents net. This is a collection of moral injunctions which, among the Chi- nese, is second perhaps only to the Kan-Ying P'ien in popular- ity, and yet so far as is known to the publishers this is the first translation that has been made into any Occidental lan- guage. It is now issued as a companion to the T'ai-Shang Kan- Yjng P'ien, although it does not contain either a facsimile of the text or its verbatim translation. The original consists of the short tract itself which is here presented, of glosses added by commentators, which form a large part of the book, and finally a number of stories similar to those appended to the Kan-Ying P'ien, which last, however, it has not seemed worth while to include in this version. The translator's notes are of value in justifying certain readings and explaining allusions, and the book is provided with an index. The frontispiece, an artistic outline drawing bv Shen Chin-Ching, represents Wen Ch'ang, one of the highest divinities of China, revealing him- self to the author of the tract. The motive of the tract is that of practical morality. The maxims give definite instructions in regard to details of man's relation to society, besides more general commands of uni- versal ethical significance, such as "Live in Concord," "Eor- give Malice," and "Do not assert with your mouth what your heart denies." "Notliinj? is left undone to render these venerable and interesting booklets intelligible and attractive. The form in which the}' are issued does credit to the translators, to the editor, and to the publisher.

Many of the z\.'orks of I his i:;rcaf Russian f'hilosof'hcr arc familiar through traiishitions to the English-reading public, but many of his most characteristic utterances have only lately become accessible through the zeal and devotion of admirers and disciples like Ernest Crosby and Aylmer Maude. The essay "Christianity and Patriot- ism," is typical of the origi)iality of his thought a>id his fearless attitude in e.vp''essing znezi'S contrary to those of public opinion. His argument is that the sentiment of patriotism is univortJiy those zi'ho profess Christianity, because of its innate selfishness, zvhich z^'ould make the patriot desire and zvork for the benefit of one nation or section of the earth at the expense of some other. The forceful expression of this great mind along these lines is especially valuable in the present day of International Peace Congresses.

In fact, so far as we know, it is the very best, the most scientific, most comprehensive, and at the same time the most popular work of its kind. It consists of five stately volumes in royal octavo, each of nearly 500 pages, and written by difi^erent leading German scientists. It is profusely illustrated not only with a view of explaining and elucidating the subject matter treated, but also and especially for the purpose of presenting historical pictures from the history of the sciences and civilization. In addition to innumerable illustrations in the text, there are a large number of colored plates of every description, reproduced from valuable paintings and artistically executed. The first volume contains essays on the crust of the earth by Karl Sapper, and on terrestrial physics by Adolf Marcuse. The second volume contains a treatment of the several anthro- pological problems by Herman Klaatsch ; the development of the flora by H. Potonie, and of the fauna by Louis Beushausen. In the third volume we find an article on astronomy by W. Foerster ; and the first part of one on geography by K. Weule. The latter is continued in the fourth volume, which also con- tains an essay on the ocean by William Marshall ; and a treatise on the shape, magnitude and density of the earth by A. Marcuse. The fifth and last volume discusses the use which man makes of his knowledge of nature, the subject being divided into an essay on the beginning of technology by Max von Eyth and Ernst Krause (perhaps better known as Cams Sterne). Three shorter articles on the difficulties of scientific observation, on the influence of civilization upon the health of man, and a conclusion by the editor, Hans Kraemer, close the last volume of the work. The index is exceptionally well done. An English translation would be highly desirable, but considering the enor- mous expense which it would involve will scarcely be under- taken. 174 THE OPEN CO URTHJBLISHING CO.. CHICAGO.

Mr. Withers's critique, on the whole, is quite sound, although there are a few passages cither vague or disputable.

TESTIMONIALS FROM THE READERS OF "THE MONIST" "I do not believe any periodical in the world is doing more service to civilization and to this country that no other precisely renders than 'The Monist'."— Charles S. Peirce, Millord, Penn. "Its great breadth and liberality, its high class of writers, and its able and scholarly reviews, are among its noteworthv features."— Lester F. Ward, Smithsonian Institution, VVashington, D. C. "I read 'The Monist' because it stands for something, because it gives me the thoughts of con- temporary leaders, and because it is always on the side of sound scholarship." — David Eugene Smith, Ph.D., Professor of Mathematics in Teachers' College, Columbia University, New York City. ".Among the periodicals of a higher class, which I have been receiving for some years past, there is none that I read more regularly than "The Monist'; and there is not a number in which I have not found some articles of fruitful suggestiveness. I have been so impressed with the value of the periodical that I recommended last year the purchase of a complete set for the library of our university."— J. Clark Murray, LL.D., Professor of Philosophy in McGill University, Mon- treal, Canada. "I do not think that any journal in the world can rival 'The Monist,' and scarcely any other country but America can ever produce a journal like this, scientific, and still all-comprising, free- thinking and still never vague, but exact.'' — Dr. Huebbe Schleiden, Hanover, Germany. " 'The Monist' is certainly performing an important service. I always read the journal with interest and profit. It would be difficult to exaggerate the value of your journals and other pub- lications tor the advancement and diffusion of philosophy and science. "—Prof. J. McKeen Cattell, Professor of Psychology in Columbia University, New York. "I desire to state that there are found compiled in this journal three qualities which render it superior to most other .American and European reviews, namely: (i) The unlimited liberty of discussion and of thought in every branch of science riervading its pages; (2) the varied cfiar- acter of the articles whtcli are published in every sin^e number of it; and (3) the names of its illustrious contributors and collaborators from every part of tlie world."— G.

TESTIMONIALS FROM READERS OF "THE OPEN COURT" "I regard 'The Open Court' and 'The Monist' as the two best American philosophical maga- zines that we have."— Dr. Lester F. Ward, Smithsonian Institution, Wasliington, D. C. "The statement of the principles of 'The Open Court' (in No. ^24) as the organ of the Religious Parliament idea is so admirable, that, speaking from the point of view of an Orthodox Christian, I wish the statement might somehow be put into the hands of every clergyman and religious leader."— Elias Compton, Dean of the University of Wooster, VVooster, Ohio. "In my judgment your magazine is an extremely original and interesting institution, con- ducted with uncommon skill, and always offermg to its readers a great deal of interesting material.

PORTRAITS OF EMINENT MATHEMATICIANS Three portfolios edited by David Patgkne Smith, Ph. D., Professt)r of Mathematics in Teachers' Colle>;e, Columbia University, New York City. In response to a widespread demand from those interested in matliematics and the history of education, Professor Smith has edited three portfolios of the portraits of some of the most eminent of the world's contributors to the mathe- matical sciences. Accompanying each portrait is a brief biographical sketch, with occasional notes of interest concerning the artists represented. The pictures are of a size that allows for framing (11x14), it being the hope that a new interest in mathematics may be aroused through the decoration of class- rooms by the portraits of those who helped to create the science. PORTFOLIO No. 1. Twelve great mathematicians down to 1700 A.I).: Thales, Pythagoras, Euclid, Archimedes, Leonardo of Pisa, Cardan, Vieta, Napier, Descartes, Fermat, Newton, Leibniz. PORTFOLIO No. 2. The most eminent founders and promoters of the infinitesimal calculus : Cavallieri, Johann and Jakob Bernoulli, Pascal, L'Hopital, Barrow, Laplace, Lagrange, Euler Gauss, Monge and Niccolo Tartaglia. PORTFOLIO No. 3. Ei^'^ht portraits selected from the two former, portfolios especially adapted for high schools and academies, including portraits of THALES — with whom began the study of scientific geometry; PYTHAGORAS— who proved the proposition of the square on the hypotenuse; EUCLID —whose Elements of Geometry form the basis of all modern text books; ARCHIMEDES — whose treatment of the circle, cone, cylinder and sphere influences our work to-day; 'DESCARTES — to whom we are indebted for the graphic algebra in our high schools ; NEWTON — who generalized the binomial theorem and invented the calculus; NAPIER — who invented logarithms and contributed to trigonometry; PASCAL — who discovered the "Mystic Hexagram " at the age of sixteen. PRICES Portfolio I or 2 (12 portraits) on Japanese vellum, size 11x14, $5.00; both for $8.50. Portfolio I or 2 (12 portraits) on American plate paper, size 11x14, $3.00; both for $5.00.

"The issue of this fine collection is equally creditable to the expert knowl- edge and discriminating taste of the editor. Professor David Eugene Smith, and to the liberality and artistic resources of The Open Court Publishing Co" —F. N. Cole, Editor American Mathematical Bulletin, New York. " The selection is well made, the reproduction is handsomely executed, and the brief account which accompanies each portrait is of interest. Prof. Smith has rendered a valuable service to all who have interest in mathematics, by editing this collection. Wherever mathematics is taught, these portraits should adorn the walls."— William F.
