for,—the belief that such a justice existed was a
terrible delusion, and useful only to a limited extent;
just as it is also a delusion that everything is guilt
which is felt as such. It is not the things themselves,
but the opinions about thingsthatdo not exist,which
have been such a source of trouble to mankind.

little, however, and are so insufficiently informed,
that it rarely happens that we seize upon a thing
and make ourselves lovable at the same time,—on
the contrary we pass through cities, nature, and
history with stiffness and indifference, at the same
time taking a pride in our stiff and indifferent
attitude, as if it were simply due to superiority.
Thus our ignorance and our mediocre desire for
knowledge understand quite well how to assume a
mask of dignity and character.

THE MASTERY OF LIFE.
By G. T. WRENCH.
(STEPHEN SWIFT. )
(In the Press. )
This book is a review of the history of civilisation with the
object of discovering, in the phrase of Nietzsche, “under
what conditions and where the plant man flourished best. "
The review shows that the patriarchal family has always
been the foundation of peoples who have been distinguished
for their joy in and power over life, and have expressed their
joy and power in art works which have been their peculiar
glory and the object of admiration and wonder of other
peoples. On the other hand, peoples who have not based
themselves on the larger humanity of patriarchalism, and
who have not cultivated a masterful aristocracy, have been
distinguished by a weaker and often miserable attitude
towards life, and by an expression, not of power, joy, and
quality, but of exhaustion, pessimism, and doubts about the
objects of existence.
The author contrasts the two types of peoples, the orderly
and artistic, and the dehumanised or mechanical, and shows
how the latter may hope to attain to the mastery of life, both
social and individual. But to carry out the change of social
basis and values, a new kind of men is needed, and this need
leads the author in the last pages to advocate as an essential
preliminary the self-culture of power and will which Nietzsche
taught so brilliantly through the mouth of Zarathustra.

ENGLISH LITERATURE
(1880–1905).
By J. M. KENNEDY.
(STEPHEN SWIFT. )
(In the Press. )
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.

PUBLISHER'S ANNOUNCEMENT.
As this Nietzsche translation is now on the point of being
completed, the publisher 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 after-
wards that of violent contradiction, has considerably dimin-
ished since his real meaning has become 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 bim from all
dry-as-dust philosophers, especially those of German origin.
As the Yorkshire Weekly Post of roth June 1911 has it
“He stands out in the foggy firmament of German thought
like a bright particular star. With the possible exception 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,
will shortly be published as a fitting coping stone to
what the Liverpool Courier has called “this monumental
translation. "

In this book the author has made a plain and lucid

Three Lectures recently given at University College,
London, and other matter besides—together with copious
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
to the works of the philosopher, I shall be surprised. . . . Mr.

ON THE TRACKS OF LIFE:
THE IMMORALITY OF MORALITY.
Translated from the Italian of Leo G. Sera by
J. M. Kennedy.
With an Introduction by Dr. Oscar Levy.
7*. 6d. net.
(John Lane. )
Dr. Sera is a physician who has deeply studied literature
and historical science, and the object of his book is, in the
opening words of the preface : "To establish our conception
of social life on its original basis. " The author adduces
many new and startling theories in regard to the questions he
treats of in support of his views. He holds that the diffusion
of democratic principles is vulgarising science and art, and
that present social conditions, especially work and Christian
teaching, are leading to the intellectual and moral degen-
eration of the race. Stimulating chapters on Stendhal,
Nietzsche, Goethe, The Origin of Society, Work, and the
Aristocratic Ideal, show current opinions of Genius, Aristo-
cracy, Democracy, Sport, and Sexuality in a new light.
Scientific thought is put upon a new basis more in conformity
with modern Continental views. The audacity of Dr.
Sera's theories has evoked much discussion in England and
on the Continent; and his work is certain to appeal to all
serious thinkers, and to students of modern moral problems.
"There are a host of points which Dr. Sera makes which it would
be well if our social conventionalists would consider. For one
thing, his philosophy is based on what men really do and think, as
apart from their professions. "—Sunday Times.
"Written with a vigour and freshness rarely met with in works of
this character, few readers could peruse the volume without intel-
lectual quickening and expansion. —Western Morning News.
"A vigorously written bit of work, packed full of shrewd
thinking. ' —Birmingham Post.
"The volume contains many obiter dicta of great shrewdness,
and of particular value to our own race. "—Globe.

RELIGIONS AND
PHILOSOPHIES OF THE EAST.
J. M. KENNEDY,
Author of "The Quintessence of Nietzsche. "
Crown 8vo, 6s. net.
"All wisdom came from the East," and all the wisdom of
the East is bound up in its religions and philosophies, the
earliest forms of which can be traced back 3000 years B. C.
Mr. J. M. Kennedy has now aimed at giving in a single
volume a concise history of the religions and philosophies
which have influenced the thought of the great eastern
nations, special emphasis, of course, being laid upon the
different religions which have swayed the vast empire of
India. A feature of the book is a section dealing with the
influence of the philosophies of the East upon those of
the West, so far as materials are now available for our
guidance in this respect. It may be remembered, for ex-
ample, that Schopenhauer was greatly influenced by Indian
thought, and that he exercised much influence on Nietzsche,
who, in his turn, as shown in Mr. Kennedy's "Quintessence
of Nietzsche," has not only swayed modern thought, but is
in addition likely to affect the whole trend of philosophy
for many generations to come.

NIETZSCHE: HIS LIFE AND
WORKS.
By ANTHONY M. LUDOVICI.
Preface by Dr. Oscar Levy.
103 pages, is. net.
(Constable & Co. )
In this short monograph on Nietzsche, the latest addition
to Messrs. Constable's Shilling " Philosophies, Ancient and
Modern" series, Mr. Ludovici not only gives the reader
a succinct account of the philosophy of the "Will to Power"
in all its main features; but he also sketches in bold strokes
the groundwork of an attack on Darwin, Spencer, English
Materialism, and English Utilitarianism, which is perhaps
the first criticism of the kind ever attempted from a
Nietzschean standpoint.
Mr. Ludovici is well known in philosophical circles in
Great Britain and abroad as one of Nietzsche's most pene-
trating disciples and critics, not only as having translated
several of his works and written a volume on various aspects
of his philosophy, but also as being author of the standard
Commentary upon Zarathustra, and a successful lecturer
(before University College, London, and various ethical
societies). As a concise, yet complete, summary of the life
and writings of the great German poet-philosopher, there-
fore, the present brochure may confidently be called a
valuable addition to Nietzschean literature.

(t. Werner Ladrie. )
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.

It is claimed for these translations that they have been written by accom-
plished German scholars, who have spared no pains to render the poetical,
passionate, racy, and witty style of Nietzsche in adeauate English. Original
and valuable introductions are prefixed to all the translations, giving all details
as to dates, circumstances, Nietzsche's development, &c, so that each volume
may be bought separately.

WHO IS TO BE MASTER OF
THE WORLD?
An Introduction to the Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche
By A. M. LUDOVICI.
With a Preface by Dr. Oscar Levy.
Crown 8vo, 216 pages, 2s. 6d. net.
(t. N. Foulis. )
In this book the author has made a plain and lucid
statement of Nietzsche's views. The work embodies the
Three Lectures recently given at University College,
London, and other matter besides—together with copious
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
to the works of the philosopher, I shall be surprised. . . . Mr.
Ludovici shows such clearness, method, constructive art, as belong
to a master of exposition. "— Westminster Gazette.
THE REVIVAL OF ARISTOCRACY.

A fierce indictment of the philosophy of the nineteenth
century, and of the events which led to it. Special chapters
are devoted to Napoleon, Stendhal, Goethe, and Nietzsche.
"The ablest exposition of Nietzscheanism that has yet appeared. "
—Manchester Guardian.
"Here we see the philosophy of Nietzsche put into a concentrated
form, and set forth by a clever and biting pen. "—Glasgow Herald.

ON THE TRACKS OF LIFE:
THE IMMORALITY OF MORALITY.
Translated from the Italian of Leo G. Sera by
J. M. Kennedy.
With an Introduction by Dr. Oscar Levy.
7*. 6d. net.
(John Lane. )
Dr. Sera is a physician who has deeply studied literature
and historical science, and the object of his book is, in the
opening words of the preface : "To establish our conception
of social life on its original basis. " The author adduces
many new and startling theories in regard to the questions he
treats of in support of his views. He holds that the diffusion
of democratic principles is vulgarising science and art, and
that present social conditions, especially work and Christian
teaching, are leading to the intellectual and moral degen-
eration of the race. Stimulating chapters on Stendhal,
Nietzsche, Goethe, The Origin of Society, Work, and the
Aristocratic Ideal, show current opinions of Genius, Aristo-
cracy, Democracy, Sport, and Sexuality in a new light.
Scientific thought is put upon a new basis more in conformity
with modern Continental views. The audacity of Dr.
Sera's theories has evoked much discussion in England and
on the Continent; and his work is certain to appeal to all
serious thinkers, and to students of modern moral problems.
"There are a host of points which Dr. Sera makes which it would
be well if our social conventionalists would consider. For one
thing, his philosophy is based on what men really do and think, as
apart from their professions. "—Sunday Times.
"Written with a vigour and freshness rarely met with in works of
this character, few readers could peruse the volume without intel-
lectual quickening and expansion. —Western Morning News.
"A vigorously written bit of work, packed full of shrewd
thinking. ' —Birmingham Post.
"The volume contains many obiter dicta of great shrewdness,
and of particular value to our own race. "—Globe.

RELIGIONS AND
PHILOSOPHIES OF THE EAST.
J. M. KENNEDY,
Author of "The Quintessence of Nietzsche. "
Crown 8vo, 6s. net.
"All wisdom came from the East," and all the wisdom of
the East is bound up in its religions and philosophies, the
earliest forms of which can be traced back 3000 years B. C.
Mr. J. M. Kennedy has now aimed at giving in a single
volume a concise history of the religions and philosophies
which have influenced the thought of the great eastern
nations, special emphasis, of course, being laid upon the
different religions which have swayed the vast empire of
India. A feature of the book is a section dealing with the
influence of the philosophies of the East upon those of
the West, so far as materials are now available for our
guidance in this respect. It may be remembered, for ex-
ample, that Schopenhauer was greatly influenced by Indian
thought, and that he exercised much influence on Nietzsche,
who, in his turn, as shown in Mr. Kennedy's "Quintessence
of Nietzsche," has not only swayed modern thought, but is
in addition likely to affect the whole trend of philosophy
for many generations to come.

NIETZSCHE: HIS LIFE AND
WORKS.
By ANTHONY M. LUDOVICI.
Preface by Dr. Oscar Levy.
103 pages, is. net.
(Constable & Co. )
In this short monograph on Nietzsche, the latest addition
to Messrs. Constable's Shilling " Philosophies, Ancient and
Modern" series, Mr. Ludovici not only gives the reader
a succinct account of the philosophy of the "Will to Power"
in all its main features; but he also sketches in bold strokes
the groundwork of an attack on Darwin, Spencer, English
Materialism, and English Utilitarianism, which is perhaps
the first criticism of the kind ever attempted from a
Nietzschean standpoint.
Mr. Ludovici is well known in philosophical circles in
Great Britain and abroad as one of Nietzsche's most pene-
trating disciples and critics, not only as having translated
several of his works and written a volume on various aspects
of his philosophy, but also as being author of the standard
Commentary upon Zarathustra, and a successful lecturer
(before University College, London, and various ethical
societies). As a concise, yet complete, summary of the life
and writings of the great German poet-philosopher, there-
fore, the present brochure may confidently be called a
valuable addition to Nietzschean literature.

THE QUINTESSENCE OF
NIETZSCHE.
By J. M. KENNEDY.
370 pp. , 6s. net.
(t. Werner Ladrie. )
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.
