 tion." Twentieth Century.

 tion." Sunday Times (Tacoma). 



" The effort is noble, and the author has not escaped saying many profound and true 

 things." Christian Union. 



" One of a large number of ' reformatory ' volumes now being printed, but it is better 

 than many of them." Truth Seeker. 



" The book is from a widely-read man, and is written for a high end. In its intellectual 

 and ' spiritual ' aspects, it is educative and stimulating." The New Ideal. 



" The book before us is one of the signs of the times. It prophesies a new age, and 

 exhorts to the life which shall further its coming." New Church Messenger. 



" The book is a natural product of the prophetic element of the times, which is reach- 

 ing forward into the new economic age we are just entering." Teacher's Outlook. 



" The chapters on ' Natural and Social Selection ' are among the most interesting in the 

 book, and require close reading to take in the whole drift of their meaning." Detroit 

 Tribune.

 life and religion of intellectual, moral, social, material and spiritual progress." The 

 Unitarian.

 sense shown in the treatment of the marriage question would help many husbands and 

 wives to live more happily together." The Dawn. 



" This a new and thoroughly original treatment of the subjects of morality, religion 

 and human perfectibility, and furnishes a new ground for the treatment of all social ques- 

 tions. It is radical and unique." The Northwestern. 



" It is in no sense an ordinary work. It makes strong claims and attempts to carry out 

 the largest purposes. Taking the standpoint of science, it attacks the gravest problems of 

 the times with an endeavor to show that the most advanced science will enable us to reach 

 the most satisfactory conclusions." Chicago Inter-Ocean. 



"One of the most important recent works for those who are striving to rise into a 

 nobler life, who are struggling to escape the thraldom of the present selfish and pessimistic 

 age. Many passages in Mr. Peck's work strongly suggest the lofty teachings of those 

 noblest of the ancient philosophers, the Stoics. Those who are hungering and thirsting 

 after a nobler existence will find much inspiration in ' The Kingdom of the Unselfish.' " 

 The A rena.
