    THE MEANING OF MEANING : a Study of the Influence of Language upon Thought and of the Science of Symbolism. By C. K. Ogden and I. A. Richards. Introduction by J. P. Postgate, Litt.D. Supplementary Essays by B. Malinowski, Ph.D., D.Sc. and F. G. Crookshank, M.D., F.R.C.P. 12/6 net. “ The authors attack the problem from a more fundamental point of view than that from which others have dealt with it, and at last some light is thrown on the factors involved. The importance of their work is obvious. It is a book for educationalists, ethnologists, grammarians, logicians, and, above all, psychologists. The book is written with admirable clarity and a strong sense of humour, making it not only profitable but also highly entertaining reading for anyone who wishes to address any remark to a fellow creature with the intention of being understood.'’'—New Statesman. SCIENTIFIC METHOD : an Inquiry into the Character and Validity of Natural Laws. By A. D. Ritchie, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. 10/6 net. “ The fresh and bright style of Mr Ritchie’s volume, not without a salt of humour, makes it an interesting and pleasant book for the general reader. Taken as a whole Scientific Method is able, comprehensive, and, in our opinion, right in its main argument and conclusions.”—British Medical Journal. ' His brilliant book.”—Daily News. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF REASONING. By Eugenio Rignano, Professor of Philosophy in the University of Pavia. 14/- net. “ Professor Rignano’s elaborate treatise, which completely surveys all the chief types of reasoning, normal and abnormal, is a valuable con¬ tribution to psychological literature.”—Weekly Westminster. “ The theory is that reasoning is simply imaginative experimenting. Such a theory offers an easy explanation of error, and Professor Rignano draws it out in a very convincing manner.”—Times Literary Supplement. CHANCE, LOVE and LOGIC : Philosophical Essays. By Charles S. Peirce. Edited with an Introduction by Morris R. Cohen. Supplementary Essay by John Dewey. 12/6 net. “ It is impossible to read Peirce without recognizing the presence of a superior mind. He was something of a genius.”—F. C. S. Schiller, in Spectator. “It is about the clarification of our ideas that Mr Peirce makes his most interesting remarks ; it is here that one sees what a brilliant mind he had and how independently he could think.”—Nation. SPECULATIONS : Essays on Humanism and the Philosophy of Art. By T. E. Hulme. Edited by Herbert Read. Frontispiece and Foreword by Jacob Epstein. 10/6 net . “ With its peculiar merits, this book is most unlikely to meet with the slightest comprehension from the usual reviewer. When Hulme was killed in Flanders in 1917, he was known as a brilliant talker, a brilliant amateur of metaphysics, and the author of two or three of the most beautiful short poems in the language. In this volume he appears as the forerunner of a new attitude of mind, which should be the twentieth century mind.”—Criterion.
