all his best economy, adaptability to the end, and firmness, the image
which has arisen in his mind. Everything outside us is only the means for
this constructing process, yes, I would even dare to say, also everything
inside us; deep within lies the creative force which is able to form what
it will, and gives us no rest until, without us or within us, in one or
the other way, we have finally given it representation." The future, with
all its possibilities, is still a future infinitely far away, however well
it may be to fix our eyes on the constellation towards which our solar
system may seem to be moving across the sky.

Meanwhile, every well-directed step, while it brings us but ever so little
nearer to the far goal around which our dreams may play, is at once a
beautiful process and an invigorating effort, and thereby becomes in
itself a desirable end. It is the little things of life which give us most
satisfaction and the smallest things in our path that may seem most worth
while.

By MRS. HAVELOCK ELLIS

WITH A PREFACE BY EDWARD CARPENTER AND
AN INTRODUCTION BY MARGUERITE TRACY

_Demy 8vo_    PRICE 10/6 NET    (_By Post, 11s._)

Questions of Marriage and Divorce, of sex variation, of love in the past
and in the future all come up for subtle consideration. The items of our
common knowledge are regrouped. Here we see clearly revealed the personal
conception of life that lay behind Mrs. Havelock Ellis's brilliant novels.
We are arrested and spell-bound by the same understanding, the same
directness of touch, the same beauty.

Preface, by Edward Carpenter. Introduction, by Marguerite Tracy. Note, by
Havelock Ellis.

PART I.--LOVE AND MARRIAGE. The Love of To-Morrow. A Noviciate for
Marriage. Semi-Detached Marriage. Marriage and Divorce. Eugenics and the
Mystical Outlook. Eugenics and Spiritual Parenthood. Blossoming Time. Love
as a Fine Art.

PART II.--THE NEW CIVILIZATION. Democracy in the Kitchen. The Masses and
the Classes. The Maternal in Domestic and Political Life. Political
Militancy: Its Cause and Cure. War. The New Civilization. The Philosophy
of Happiness. Bibliography. Index.

OPINIONS:

"Bold in pursuit of honesty."--_Observer._

"The charm of style, the frankness and courage, the delicacy and idealism
which marked her life's work are here in full measure."--_Challenge._

"A wholly sincere, clear-headed woman, Mrs. Ellis was often misunderstood
because she was sane."--_W.L. George._

"Stimulates thought, arouses controversy, may shock the timidly
conventional."--_Sunday Times._

THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF HEREDITY

75 Diagrams and Illustrations. Large Crown 8vo. Cloth.
7s. 6d. net (by post, 2s. 3d.).        _Revised Edition._

"Dr. Herbert's hook can be recommended as a trustworthy 'first aid' in the
study of a difficult subject. His style is lucid and concise, and he has
provided a glossary which will be of service to many."--_Athenaeum._

"We have only praise for the result."--_Eugenics Review._

"Dr. Herbert will be found a safe guide. He writes as clearly and as
simply as may be upon a subject in which it is practically impossible to
avoid technical language.... The book may be cordially recommended as
admirably adapted for the class for whom it is intended." _Westminster
Gazette._

*       *       *       *       *

THE FIRST PRINCIPLES OF EVOLUTION

90 Illustrations. Large Crown 8vo. Cloth, 12s. 6d. net (by
post, 13s. 6d.). _Revised Edition._

"The author attempts to examine and test the principles of the theory of
evolution as applied to the known phenomena of the cosmos. To do this at
all satisfactorily in little more than 300 pages, and at the same time
bring under review all that is most valuable in recent scientific
research, is no easy task. We may say at once that, in our opinion Dr.
Herbert has succeeded wonderfully well."--_Athenaeum._

"Contains not a single dry page--far and away the most compact and
complete account of evolution in all its aspects."--_Globe._

"We congratulate Dr. Herbert on his masterly arrangement.... It will serve
as an admirable introduction to a difficult subject."--_Dundee
Advertiser._

*       *       *       *       *

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE
PHYSIOLOGY AND PSYCHOLOGY OF SEX

49 Illustrations. Large Crown 8vo. Cloth. 7s.6d. net (by post, 8s. 1d.).

This fills a gap in the literature of sex. It gathers together for the
general reader a vast array of facts about sex, mating and
reproduction which have never before been so clearly and directly
stated.

"For a simple statement, expressed in language as far as possible free
from technicalities, of the principal phenomena of generation, Dr.
Herbert's book is the best that we have seen."--_Cambridge Review._

"It is therefore a real satisfaction to find a sex manual which may be
placed with confidence in the hands of any educated person.... He has
certainly produced the best little manual which we yet possess in this
field."--HAVELOCK ELLIS in _Eugenics Review._

BY MRS. HERBERT.

SEX LORE. A Primer on Courtship, Marriage and Parenthood.
55 Illustrations. Crown 8vo. Cloth, 7s. 6d. net (by post, 8s. 1d.).

"The author in simple, non-technical language expounds the main facts of
sex, especially with regard to biology and physiology, and she treats this
delicate subject in a tactful manner. A special feature of the book is the
large number of illustrations. The volume is intended for the 'younger
generation,' but parents and teachers would be well advised to peruse the
book, which should prove invaluable for educative purposes. '--_Medical
Times._

"... may be left with confidence in the hands of any educated person who
is attaining to manhood or womanhood."--_Aberdeen Daily Journal._

we could not well ask more of him."--HAVELOCK ELLIS in _Daily Herald_.
