"This industrious and erudite book is one which cannot possibly be omitted from any library. We
suppose that there is no one in the world more learned in sea literature than Commander Robinson."
Spectator.
"Will charm everyone who has any concern with the evolution of our naval character—the action and
reaction of the sea and its affairs are our island story—and the connection of the navy from its earliest
days with the drama, poetry, and politics. An inestimable contribution to English literature, will appeal
to a wide circle of readers, but will also be treasured as a standard for reference."—Daily Telegraph,

SIR OLIVER LODGE
THE ETHER OF SPACE
In this volume Sir Oliver Lodge advocates the
view which makes the Ether not only all pervading,
but massive and substantial beyond conception—
the most substantial thing, perhaps the only
substantial thing, in the material universe.
PROF. WILLIAM WREDE
THE ORIGIN OF THE NEW
TESTAMENT
Correcting certain inherited opinions on the twentyseven
writings which constitute the New Testament
and the circumstances in which they were formed
in one whole, it gives them a tresh interest, showing
them to be the actual documents of the first
Christian generations, and a witness of the passionate
zeal for the new gospel which was to
conquer the world.
PROF. C. H. BECKER
CHRISTIANITY AND ISLAM
A study of the similarities, differences and the
interaction of ideas between the two schools of
religious thought. The author shows how and
why Christianity expanded when freed from the
grip of Medievalism, and discusses the possibility of
a Moslem expansion under a similar emancipation.
