 VALISM — THE PHILOSOPHY OF GERMANY — OF FRANCE — OF 

 ITALY — OF HOLLAND — OF BRITAIN — OF AMERICA. 



Not content with presenting an historical sketch of past opin- 

 ion and tendency on the subject of the Beautiful, Prof. Knight 

 shows how these philosophical theories have been evolved, how 

 they have been the outcome of social as well as of intellectual 

 causes, and have often been the product of obscure phenomena 

 in the life of a nation. Thus a deep human interest is given to 

 his synopsis of speculative thought on the subject of Beauty and 

 to his analysis of the art school corresponding to each period 

 from the time of the Egyptians down to the present day. He 

 traces the sequence of opinion in each country as expressed in its 

 literature and its art works, and shows how doctrines of art are 

 based upon theories of Beauty, and how these theories often have 

 their roots in the customs of society itself.

The diffusion of European, and, more particularly, of English, 

 civilization over the face of the inhabited and habitable world is 

 the subject of this book. The treatment of this great theme covers 

 the origin and the historical, political, economical and ethnological 

 development of the English colonies, the moral, intellectual, in- 

 dustrial and social aspects of the question being also considered. 

 There is thus spread before the reader a bird's-eye view of the 

 British colonies, great and small, from their origin until the present 

 time, with a summary of the wars and other great events which 

 have occurred in the progress of this colonizing work, and with 

 a careful examination of some of the most important questions, 

 economical, commercial and political, which now affect the rela- 

 tion of the colonies and the parent nation. The maps and dia- 

 grams are an instructive and valuable addition to the book.
