NEW & FORTHCOMING WORKS

FICTION

THE FRUIT OF THE TREE, by _Hamilton Fyfe_. Crown 8vo, 7/6.

Mr. Hamilton Fyfe is an attentive social observer. He sees that the growing distaste of the more intellectual kind of women for motherhood is bound to have disturbing consequences. Just as in the past men sought in “gay” society distraction from aggravated domesticity, so now they are liable to crave for domestic joys as a relief from childless homes.

Without taking sides Mr. Fyfe describes such a case with an ever-present humour. He does not plead or preach: he is content to set forth problems of personality which have a vivid application in the everyday lives of us all.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN, by _Hugh de Sélincourt_. Crown 8vo, 7/6.

MR. HAVELOCK ELLIS writes: “This novel seems to be, in some ways, his most notable achievement.”

_Observer._—“This is the best novel that Mr. de Sélincourt has yet published.”

SARAH AND HER DAUGHTER, by _Bertha Pearl_. Crown 8vo, 7/6.

This is a story of New York’s Ghetto, showing the Ghetto family as it lives from day to day.

The thing has never been done before. It is the first novel setting forth the whole world of the Ghetto and the emergence of the younger generation into the larger world of American life.

It has the Potash and Perlmutter laugh, and the tears of the sufferers of all ages.

A work of genuine humour and understanding realism.

THE QUEST OF MICHAEL HARLAND, by _Nora Kent_. Crown 8vo, 8/6.

In reviewing Miss Kent’s previous novel, “The Greater Dawn,” _Land and Water_ said: “Mrs. Florence Barclay and Miss Ethel M. Dell have cause to tremble.” Her new story has the same fragrance and delicacy of sentiment that attracted readers in “The Greater Dawn,” and will, we feel confident, increase their number.

GARTH, by _Mrs. J. O. Arnold_. Crown 8vo, 8/6.

_Times._—“A thoroughly well-told ghost story.... It is admittedly exceptional and inexplicable, and in that lies its thrill.”

_Sheffield Telegraph._—“A very clever and exciting piece of work. Good ghost stories are none too common, and this one is very good.”

GENERAL LITERATURE

THE MAKING OF AN OPTIMIST, by _Hamilton Fyfe_. Demy 8vo, 12/6.

CLAUDIUS CLEAR in the _British Weekly_: “Mr. Hamilton Fyfe has written a remarkable volume.... It is needless to say that the book is frank and able and interesting.”

H. M. T. in the _Nation and Athenæum_: “I hope Mr. Fyfe’s book will be widely read, because I think it must be unique.”

H. W. NEVINSON in the _Daily Herald_: “A very remarkable and exhilarating book.”

DIVORCE (TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW), by _C. Gasquoine Hartley_. Author of “The Truth about Woman,” “Sex Education and National Health.” Crown 8vo, 6/-.

This book deals with many aspects on the subject. It shows historically how the present divorce laws developed and how closely they are still allied to the ancient ecclesiastical Canon Law. It proves that most Protestant countries have far more liberal laws, and that, but for accidents in the lives of our kings, our own laws would have been reformed in the 16th century. The harmful way in which the laws work against morality and the family is shown by an analysis of a number of present-day divorce suits. The present position in regard to proposals for an extension of the grounds of divorce is examined, and a contrast is drawn between our petrified laws and the liberal reforms introduced by those of English stock in the dominions over the seas. The author finally brings forward her own proposals and explains her own moral standards. She declares that ecclesiastical defenders of the present law do not understand the spirit of the Founder of Christianity.

STRAY THOUGHTS AND MEMORIES, by the Late _James A. Rentoul, K.C., LL.D._ Edited by _L. Rentoul_. Demy 8vo, 18/-.

_Times._—“Many racy anecdotes.”

_Daily Telegraph._—“Good stories abound.”

_Daily News._—“Racy and warm-hearted memories of a varied life ... should be widely read.”

MY YEARS OF EXILE, by _Eduard Bernstein_. Translated by _Bernard Miall_. Demy 8vo, 15/-.

_Times._—“Herr Bernstein is a calm and dispassionate observer ... full of simple narrative and naïve reflection.”

_Morning Post._—“Of this country and its people he gives a very shrewd and sympathetic analysis ... worth recording.”

A LADY DOCTOR IN BAKHTIARILAND, by _Dr. Elizabeth MacBean Ross_. Crown 8vo, 7/6.

_Daily Mail._—“A really admirable and entertaining study.”

_Medical Times._—“An attractive volume which should make a wide appeal.”

_Geographical Journal._—“This book possesses a permanent value.”

THE KEREN HA-YESOD BOOK. Colonisation Problems of the Eretz-Israel (Palestine) Foundation Fund. Edited by The Publicity Department of the “Keren Ha-Yesod.” Crown 8vo, 2/-.

=THE NEW ERA SERIES=

BREAKING POINT, by _Jeffery E. Jeffery_, with Foreword by _G. D. H. Cole_. Crown 8vo, 4/6.

This book is an attempt to consider the future of civilisation in the light of the present world crisis. It speaks much for Mr. Jeffery’s optimism that while he manfully faces his facts and never in any way evades the issues, his book ends on a hopeful note. He believes that _now_ is the time for mankind to turn the next corner on the road of progress and that ours is the opportunity to seize or to throw away.

ECONOMIC MOTIVES IN THE NEW SOCIETY, by _J. A. Hobson_. Crown 8vo, 4/6.

Perhaps the most telling argument used against drastic schemes of economic reconstruction is that which holds that any system of public ownership and representative government of essential industries would break down because it would fail to create the necessary incentives to production and distribution. In this book Mr. Hobson examines this important question in detail. He analyses these “incentives” both from the producing and the consuming side and proposes many ways by which they might be not only retained but stimulated. He provides satisfactory answers to such questions as: Will the present standards of management, skill, workmanship and factory discipline be improved? Will the consumers benefit? Will people save? _i. e._ Will sufficient fresh capital be forthcoming for the further developments of industry?

It is a valuable book because it successfully counters the argument which has, on appearance at least, some show of reason behind it.

LAND NATIONALISATION, by _A. Emil Davies, L.C.C._, and _Dorothy Evans_ (formerly Organiser, Land Nationalisation Society). Crown 8vo, 4/6.

In the past the importance of the land problem has been neglected, but now the changed conditions brought about by the war call for increased production at home. This book shows that the present system of land ownership impedes production on every hand and stands in the way of almost every vital reform.

The authors contend that no solution of the serious problems that confront the community can be found until the nation itself becomes the ground landlord of the country in which it lives. They put forward a scheme for nationalisation complete in financial and administrative details, providing for the participation of various sections of the community in the management of the land.

PROLETCULT, by _Eden_ and _Cedar Paul_ (authors of “Creative Revolution”). Crown 8vo, 4/6.

Education to-day, availing itself of the widest means, employing the press and the cinemas no less effectively than the schools, imposes upon the community the ideology, the cultured outlook, of the ruling class.

The authors contend that among the working classes there are many who strive for the realisation of a new culture.

Proletcult (proletarian culture) organises and consolidates the thought-forces which will complete the overthrow of Capitalism. It will then inaugurate and build up the economic and social, the artistic and intellectual life of the “new era.” This great and far-reaching contemporary movement is the theme of “Proletcult.”

OPEN DIPLOMACY, by _E. D. Morel_. Crown 8vo, 4/6.

“Foreign Policy” and “Secret Diplomacy” continue to be terms invested with some kind of mysterious attributes. In this volume Mr. Morel endeavours to simplify a problem which still remains complicated and obscure to the general public. He shows us “foreign policy” as an influence working in our everyday lives. He brings “diplomacy” into our homes, and serves it up as a dish upon the breakfast table. He depicts us as helpless automata moving blindfolded in a world of make-believe until we secure an effective democratic control over the management of our foreign relations.

THE NEW LABOUR OUTLOOK, by _Robert Williams_. Crown 8vo, 4/6.

_Morning Post._—“An exceedingly shrewd and lively commentator on the significance of events ... decidedly valuable.”

_Daily Herald._—“We hope this book will have a wide circulation, as it will enable all who read it to realise the difficulties before us.”

SOCIALISM AND PERSONAL LIBERTY, by _Robert Dell_ (author of “My Second Country”). Crown 8vo, 4/6.

“Personal Liberty in the Socialist State” is an old controversy, and the publishers feel that Mr. Dell’s new volume will evoke widespread interest and discussion.

The author shows that Socialism is not necessarily incompatible with personal freedom, or with individualism properly understood, but is rather an essential condition of both. He contends that economic freedom is unattainable under Capitalist conditions by any but the owners of capital and that individual liberty is being threatened by political democracy, which is becoming a tyranny of the majority.

A NEW AGRICULTURAL POLICY, by _F. E. Green_. Crown 8vo, 4/6.

_Times._—“His advocacy is clear and detailed, and his criticisms pointed ... worth noting.”

_Glasgow Herald._—“Brightly and vigorously written by a shrewd observer.”
