5th EDITION. Ready Immediately. By DAVID NUTT, 57 TO 59 LONG ACRE, LONDON, W.C. THE FIFTH AND REVISED EDITION OF Thoughts on Ultimate Problems THE A STATEMENT OF VIEWS, OFTEN ORIGINAL AND STARTLING, ON By F. W. FRANKLAND, J.P., F.I.A., F.S.S. (Lond.), LATE ASSOCIATE ACTUARY OF THE NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY; HE fifth and revised edition of this brochure-the author of which is a son of the late Sir Edward Frankland, K. C.B., the distinguished scientific chemist-contains a series of short studies on various keenly controverted subjects in Theology and Metaphysics. It is a result of forty years of anxious study of and earnest meditation on problems, some of them very fundamental, which have specially agitated the world since the publication of Darwin's "Origin of Species" half a century ago, and the fierce ordeal of minute and searching criticism to which New Testament writings have been subjected during somewhat more than the corresponding period. Having himself been able, largely as a result of these studies and meditations, to regain and hold fast (even if, to some extent, only in the attitude of hope) the essentials of the Christian Faith, Mr. Frankland thought that some of the religious and philosophical constructions he has here attempted might perhaps be helpful to others. Starting from the standpoint of Objective Idealism or (what the author holds to be the same thing) Panpsychic Realism, Mr. Frankland has worked out a theory of the Hegelian Absolute (of which he considers that personality must be predicated), of the Time-process, of Automatic Selection as chronologically the prius of telic action in Nature, and of the "transliminal" brain-activities of Collective Mankind as the milieu or locus both of Divine Providence and of Posthumous Personal Existence. Press Notices of the Fourth Edition. "This somewhat surprising book comes from New Zealand with a breezy freshness. In the author's exposition of what he denominates Panpsychic Realism' there is a touch, here of Leibniz with his Monads,' there of Herbart and his Reals,' and again of Schopenhauer, though with that philosopher's pessimism relieved, if not removed. This is all suggestive, to say the least. Many readers of this brochure will find in its freshness and its independence, along with its real erudition, a stimulation of interest which is, perhaps, the best justification for any publication whatever. Some of the intellectually 'elect,' in this older land, may find in it not only quickening but illumination." The Homiletic Review. From Nature (London) of March 2, 1911: "This collection of studies on philosophical and religious subjects has now reached a fourth edition, which is sufficient proof that the author's treatment of profoundly important matters has appealed to a wide circle of readers." The Rev. E. W. LEWIS, M.A., B.D., says in The Liberal Christian Monthly: "This volume is interesting because it is written by a man deeply versed in the positive sciences, and consists of a series of short studies on theological and metaphysical subjects. Interesting also because it is a product of a mind of this training and calibre trying to find true ground for the essentials of the Christian Faith in the midst of modern religious unrest. It is apologetic from the pen of a scientific laymen who has thought things out for himself. The small volume is, if anything, overweighted with fact and argument; almost every paragraph would bear expansion. It is emphatically a student's book, and will repay close consideration.' From The Weekly Times of February 12th, 1911: "Those of our readers who are metaphysically inclined will be interested in the announcement of some short studies in this field by Mr. F. W. Frankland, J.P., F.I.A., F.S.S., London, who is already well-known in philosophic circles through his numerous metaphysical and theological works. The new book now promised by David Nutt will be sold for 1s. 6d. net. Mr. Frankland is English born-one of the many distinguished thinkers now resident in the dominions beyond the seas, who are making the entire Empire their grateful debtors."
