ANCIENT TYPES
OF MAN

Illustrated

From discoveries of ancient human remains made within the last half-century, anthropologists are now able to place in order changes that have taken place in the posture, gait, height, and to some extent the habits of man during a period of at least a half-million years. Prof. Keith, who is one of the foremost investigators in this field, tells the story of the various forms which the body of the man has assumed, in a lucid and attractive way.

"The kind of book that only a master of his subject could write. It must interest every thinking person."—British Medical Journal.

PERSONAL
RELIGION IN EGYPT
BEFORE CHRISTIANITY

"The author gauges what ideas were already part of the religious thought in the first century, and what were the terms and ideas in Christianity which were new to mankind. The current literature of the time was as naturally taken for granted by Christians as were the books of the Old Testament which were familiar to them. The separation of the new ideas in the teaching of Christ and of the Apostles from the general terms of religion at the time, is the only road to understanding what Christianity meant to those who actually heard the teaching."

Notts Guardian.

"A suggestive and thought-provoking book, a real contribution to the study of comparative religion."

Methodist Recorder.

By Prof. ERNEST A. GARDNER

RELIGION AND ART IN
ANCIENT GREECE

"Anything from such an authority on Greek art is welcome. This subject in the hands of Professor Gardner becomes a profoundly interesting study in the philosophy of religion. He has dealt with the religion of Greece as it affected the art of sculpture, and with the reaction of that art upon the ideals and aspirations of the people and its influence upon the popular and the educated conceptions of the gods. It is well worth the trouble to study the religious art of such a people, and this is an epitome of the subject such as readers can get nowhere else."

THE REVOLUTIONS OF
CIVILISATION

Illustrated

In the light of history—so enormously extended in recent years—the author surveys the waxing and waning of civilisation as evidenced in sculpture, painting, literature, mechanics, and wealth. In tracing the various forces at work in this fluctuation he arrives at most significant conclusions, notably in connection with race mixture and forms of government.

"We know nothing that exhibits in so brief a compass the extraordinary vicissitudes of human progress and retrogression since the dawn of history."—Birmingham Post.

CRETE, THE FORERUNNER
OF GREECE

Map, Plans, etc.

"The wondrous story of a great civilisation which flourished before Abraham was born, and left behind a memory of itself in the Arts of Ancient Greece and in the traditions of a golden age and a 'Lost Atlantis.'"—Evening Standard.

"We have now the material for forming a very fair conception of the fruitful contribution made by Crete to Grecian and European civilisation. What was long accounted fable—statements of Herodotus and Thucydides—have been turned into established fact. The book supplies material for forming judgments on some of the most interesting and still highly debated problems of early Greek history."

Glasgow Herald.

THE
ANCIENT EGYPTIANS

Illustrated

An account of the Egyptians of the unrecorded past as revealed by the investigations of the anthropologist. The author traces to their source the various streams of alien immigrants which made their way into the Nile valley, and correlates his facts with the great racial movements in the neighbouring continents. He shows how the Egyptians inaugurated a higher civilisation—particularly in bringing the Stone Age to a close and introducing the use of metals.

"This is a brilliant little book, illuminating the whole subject of the history of the human race since man assumed his proper shape."—Manchester Guardian.
