Second Edition. 6s. “ Mr. Havelock Ellis belongs, in some measure, to the continental school of anthro- pologists ; but while equally methodical in the collection of facts, he is far more cautions in the invention of theories, and he has the further distinction of being not only able to think, but able to write. His book is a sane and impartial considera- tion, from a psychological and anthropological point of view, of a subject which is certainly of primary interest.”—Athenceum. XXV.

Hobson, M.A. 3s. 6d. “Every page affords evidence of wide and minute study, a weighing of facts as conscientious as it is acute, a keen sense of the importance of certain points as to which economists of all schools have hitherto been confused and careless, and an impartiality generally so great as to give no indication of his [Mr. Hobson’s] per- sonal sympathies.”—Pall Mall Gazette.. XXVI. APPARITIONSANDTHOUGHT-TRANSFERENCE. By Frank Podmore, M.A. 3s. 6d. “A very sober and interesting little book. . . .
