The Three Recent " Butler " Books. 



Life and Habit. By Samuel Butler. Anew 

 edition with author's addenda, and preface by R. A. 

 Streatfeild. Cr. 8vo, $s. nett, postage qd. 



"This new and revised edition is a welcome addition to the libraries 

 of all who are interested in biological speculation. It is a book pregnant 

 with fascinating ideas and illuminating suggestions, which arc presented with 

 the clear and forcible writing so characteristic of the author." Tall Mall 

 gazette. "This is one of the most puzzling and suggestive of the books of the 

 late Samuel Butler. If the value of writing be in its power to provoke 

 thought, Butler's writing was of high value." Birmingham Tott. " He was 

 certainly serious, beneath his brilliant paradoxes ; and, though a pariah in hit 

 own day, he is now recognised as a true if somewhat wayward and satirical 

 genius." Stature. "A great part of Butler's fascination arises from his 

 unequalled power of metaphor and illustration. . . . We wish this excellent 

 re-issue all the success it deserves." Academy. 



Unconscious Memory. E Y 



Butler. A new edition with a 26-page Introduction by 

 Professor Marcus Hartog. Cr. Svo, 5-f. nett, postage ^d. 



"It is nearly thirty years since the first edition of Unconsciout Memory 

 appeared, yet the problem of which it mainly treats is as much to the front to- 

 day as it was then. Mr. Fifield's re-issue is therefore very welcome the 

 more so as Butler's views, after temporary eclipse, are gaining ground among 

 scientific men of philosophical habit of mind. . . . Hi theory has far-reaching 

 consequences. It involves the attribution of some sort of psychical life, not 

 only to cells, but even as with Haeckel to molecules and atoms. In a 

 word, Butler's Weltanschauung is a pan-psychism a manifestation of spirit 

 through matter such as is more and more becoming the philosophical creed of 

 the twentieth-century men of science." Hibbert Journal. 



God the Known & God the 



By Samuel Butler. Now first pub- 

 lished. I/. 6d. nett, postage ^d. 



"Only now has 'Erewhon' really dug into the ribs of the human race and 

 its civilisation, turned it upside down, and laughed at it. ... But you should 

 read also the serious work of the satirist, who has sought God with every will 

 of humour and research. . . . Samuel Butler, the satirist of humanity, could 

 not believe in any ultimate unreason of the universe."
