FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
OTHER NIETZSCHEAN LITERATURE
HIS LIFE AND WORK
By M. A. MÜGGE, Ph. D.
1os. 6d. (Third Edition)
(FISHER UNWIN)
To those who have already perused Dr. Mügge's valuable
book the advent of a third edition will be more than welcome.
The detailed and fascinating story of Nietzsche's life forms a
fitting prelude to the scholarly sketch of the brilliant poet-
philosopher's works comprising the second part of the volume.
The author's keen critique, combined with his absolutely just
and unbiassed appreciation of Nietzsche's contribution to
philosophical thought, furnishes delightful reading in the third
part, which portrays the lonely genius as philosopher, poet
and prophet.
Almost invaluable to the student of Nietzsche is the com-
plete and accurate bibliography, at present the most reliable
compendium of English and foreign literature on this subject
obtainable.
The book supplies a long-felt want, and fulfils most admir-
ably the author's aims, as stated in his preface, viz. , “the
introduction of the philosopher and his philosophy to those
unacquainted with either"; and, “to gain for Nietzsche some
appreciation and justice in the English-speaking world,
where he is so little known, and, when not unknown, so often
misunderstood. "

THE QUINTESSENCE OF
NIETZSCHE
By J. M. KENNEDY
370 PP. , 6s. net
(T. WERNER LAURIE)
This book is valuable as giving not only the first full
account in English of Nietzsche's complete works, includ-
ing the recently published writings and fragments, but
also as the first application of the German philosopher's
principles to English politics, the Church of England,
Socialism, Democracy, and to British Institutions in
general. The publication of the fragmentary works and
letters has thrown new light on Nietzsche's opinions
concerning love, woman, and marriage, all of which are
referred to or cited in the course of the work. Quotations
are given from all Nietzsche's writings, no work of the
philosopher being left unmentioned. For the chapters
dealing with Nietzsche's life, studies, travels, etc. , ample
use has been made of the newly issued autobiography,
“Ecce Homo,” from which several quotations are given.
The volume is tastefully illustrated, and is further pro-
vided with a short bibliography and a full index.

THE GOSPEL OF SUPERMAN
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH OF
PROF. HENRI LICHTENBERGER
WITH AN INTRODUCTION
BY
J. M. KENNEDY
Extra crown 8vo, 232 pages, 5s. net
Although three or four English works dealing with
Nietzsche's philosophy have appeared in the course of the
last few years, it is but natural that the complex personality
of such a many-sided character cannot yet be said to have
been thoroughly examined and discussed. Prof. Lichten-
berger's book, while containing sections which form a good
introduction to Nietzsche's philosophy, aims at giving the
reader a clear insight into the philosopher's psychology; and
his success may be inferred from the fact that the book is
now in its fourteenth French edition, and has been translated
into German by Mrs. Foerster-Nietzsche. Nietzsche's de-
scent and early training, his studies, his “intellectual
emancipation,” and his philosophical message, are all fully
discussed, while the results of recent research are admirably
summed up in the appendix, which, with a good bibliography,
completes the work.

In this book the author has made a plain and lucid

references to the numerous philosophers, historians, and
scientists who may be said to have led up to Friedrich
Nietzsche's position.
“The lectures are well worth reading, as showing what Nietzsche-
anism really means. ”—Glasgow Herald.
“ If this little book does not impel some young and gallant spirits

ENGLISH LITERATURE
(1880–1905)
By J. M. KENNEDY
75. 6d. net
(STEPHEN SWIFT)
The history of English Literature in the last generation
constitutes one of its most fascinating periods, not merely for
the historian, but also, and in a much greater degree, for the
psychologist. The two great features of the middle and
later Victorian era, viz. , Puritanism and Materialism, may be
said to have reached their climax about 1880, and their effect
is still felt on English Literature even at the present day.
By applying certain Nietzschean principles of literary, artistic,
and psychological criticism to the period in question,
Mr. J. M. Kennedy has shown how our modern writers have
been influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by the two
characteristics referred to. His book deals, from a psycho-
logical as well as a literary standpoint, with such well-known
writers as Wilde, Davidson, Shaw, Wells, and Fiona
Macleod, together with several authors who, although
influential in their particular circle, are less known to the
general public, such as Gissing and Ernest Dowson. As a
guide to many puzzling tendencies in recent English litera-
ture, the book forms an invaluable document.
The name of the brilliant young writer has become widely
known in a comparatively short time by his vivid and racy
criticism of English politics, the English Church, and English
Literature. Mr. Kennedy was one of the first of English
critics to recognise the necessity of breaking with last
century's liberal and romantic traditions. He has in all his
books tried to provide the Tory party, which allowed itself
likewise to be infected by the spirit of the age, with a sound
basis of new ideas and principles.

THE LIFE OF FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
VOLUME ONE
THE YOUNG NIETZSCHE
BY FRAU FOERSTER-NIETZSCHE
TRANSLATED BY ANTHONY M. LUDOVICI
Royal 8vo.
With portraits. Price 155. net
(HEINEMANN)
In an age given to a general tendency of levelling up and
down, it is particularly interesting to show the psychological
and spiritual development of genius, because it has been the
tendency to belittle the divine element among us. A first-
hand account of the life of a man of undoubted genius
undoubted even by his enemies and detractors—must be of
interest.
Frau Foerster-Nietzsche is admirably supplied with first-
hand documents and evidence, having from childhood col-
lected everything concerning her brother, who was only two
years her senior. Her method is perhaps best shown in the
following paragraph :
“From the days of my earliest childhood I always regarded my
brother as the highest authority. But this reverence which I
showed for Fritz and which, throughout my childhood and youth
brought me a lot of teasing and chaff-for at heart I am not a
believer in authority-certainly had one excellent practical result
in the shape of the Nietzsche archives, the extraordinary rich
contents of which have been collected by myself alone. From a
very early age I have always kept a treasure-drawer, in which I
preserved whatever I could get hold of that happened to come
from my brother's pen, and had been discarded by him. And if
from the first he had not been so fond of burning things, and had
not occasionally made such raids upon my precious hoard, not one
of his compositions from the time he was eight years old would now
be missing; for when I was only six, though I attached but slight
importance to my own things, I had already started this collection
of my brother's productions. '
The present publication is based on a larger one of several
volumes, issued shortly after Nietzsche's death, and incorpor-
ating the posthumous works. Though published in connec-
tion with the Collected Edition in Germany, it was felt that
it was unfit for translation, and the posthumous works have
since been published independently. The biography itself
appears now for the first time, simultaneously in German and
in English ; and Frau Foerster-Nietzsche has kindly added to
the English book some photographs of Nietzsche at different
times of life, of his birthplace, and his friends, which have not
appeared elsewhere and are not even included in the original.

“NIETZSCHE”
By PAUL ELMER MORE
Price $1
(BOSTON AND NEW YORK: HOUGHTON MIFFLIN Co. , 1912)
This book, which is not written by an admirer but a critic
of Nietzsche, will be welcome to the reader as an independent
opinion on a much ventilated subject. The author's attempt to
place Nietzsche in the history of philosophy and to compare his
works with that of other writers, f. i. Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau,
and the Romantics, is novel and interesting.
The book, somewhat revised, likewise appears in the eighth
volume of the author's Shelburne Essays, published by the same
firm.

In this absorbing work Dr. Chatterton-Hill has produced the
most readable exposition of the philosopher's teaching that has yet
been available for the general reader.
The student commencing the serious consideration of Nietzsche's
doctrine, the casual reader wishing to gain some intelligent notion
of the philosophy of the “Will to Power” and of the “Superman,"
the lover of good literature desirous of enjoying the entrancing
beauty of Nietzsche's style, have in this book a competent and
indispensable guide.

This generous appreciation of Nietzsche by the famous German

should be welcome to all English students conversant with the
German tongue.

PUBLISHER'S ANNOUNCEMENT
As this Nietzsche translation is now completed, the pub-
lisher begs to suggest to that part of the public which takes
the lead in matters of taste and intellect, that these volumes
should not be wanting in the library of any cultured person.
The antagonism to Nietzsche's teaching, which first took the
form of icy silence and afterwards that of violent contradiction,
has considerably diminished since his real meaning has be-
come more generally known through this translation. The
opinion is now gaining ground that in Nietzsche's life-work a
totally new standpoint in matters of politics, art, literature,
and theology is to be found. Even his enemies now readily
acknowledge that Nietzsche at least wrote in an extraordinarily
vigorous and bracing style—a style which distinguishes him
from all dry-as-dust philosophers, especially those of German
origin. As the Yorkshire Weekly Post of oth June 1911 has
it :-“He stands out in the foggy firmament of German
thought like a bright particular star. With the possible ex-
ception of Heine and Schopenhauer, no one has wielded the
German language to better effect. .
The translations have won high praise from press and
public. They have been written by scholars thoroughly
conversant with the German tongue, who have spared
no pains in rendering Nietzsche's passionate and poetic
style in adequate English.
Valuable and original introduc-
tions are added to each of the volumes, giving all particulars
as to dates, circumstances, Nietzsche's development, &c. , so
that each volume may be bought separately.
An exhaustive index, such as exists in none of the
numerous translations, and not even in the German original,
has been added as a fitting coping-stone to what the Liver-
pool Courier has called “this monumental translation. "
