IN PERIL OF CHANGE
Essays written in Time of Tranquillity
BY
C. F. G. MASTERMAN, M.A.,
Author of “From the Abyss.”
“Mr Masterman has a singular gift for correlating widely different phenomena, and is always quick to discern the inner significance of literary and other fashions. He attempts to describe the tendencies of English civilisation, to estimate the nature of its dominant ideals, and to point out recent changes which have occurred in these, the nature of the foundation upon which they rest, and the likelihood of catastrophes in the future.... The book is clever, interesting, useful.... We welcome its appearance.”—Athenæum.
“All who care to make acquaintance with one of the new forces of which the twentieth century will see the victory or the defeat will do well to read ‘In Peril of Change.’”—Westminster Gazette.
“The essays are of high literary quality, vigorous, yet unaggressive; just in appreciation and sympathetic in treatment. One cannot overpraise such stimulating and thoughtful work as Mr Masterman’s.... It is a good thing for a man to think, but it is better still to make others think, and this is exactly what ‘In Peril of Change’ does.”—Daily Telegraph.
“Let everyone who wants to read quickening and suggestive ideas on modern problems and principles buy the book, for whether the reader agrees or disagrees he is compelled to think.”—Pall Mall Gazette. London: T. FISHER UNWIN
