(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.

lectual quickening and expansion. "—Western Morning News.

■ 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 valu-
able addition to Nietzschean literature.

(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, &c, 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.

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 valu-
able addition to Nietzschean literature.

OTHER NIETZSCHE AN LITERATURE
THE QUINTESSENCE OF
NIETZSCHE.
By J. M. KENNEDY.
370 pages, 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, &c, 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.
