Apella or the Future of the Jews
A Quarterly Reviewer
Originally published in 1925
"Cogent, because of brevity and magnificent prose style…It should not be missed." Spectator
"…his arguments are a provocation to fruitful thinking." Morning Post
This volume attempts to foresee the future of the Jews across the world, in the light of their previous history, the situation in Russia and the modern developments of Zionism. Inter-marriage, Jewish nationalism, Jewish religion and reform movements are among the subjects discussed.

Vicisti, Galilaee?
Or Religion in England: A Survey and a Forecast
Edward B Powley
Originally published in 1929
"…a book to be read, thought over, and discussed by all Christians who are not afraid to take the shutters down." Guardian

Perseus, of Dragons
H F Scott Stokes
Originally published in 1924
"A diverting little book…both quaint and various." Morning Post
This volume gives an account of the dragon in history: in ancient Greece, in early Christendom and in modern Europe and explains how the dragon-story originated from the myths and customs of pre-historic Egypt. The author then maintains that in twentieth century England the dragon is not dead, that the characteristics of respectability, bigotry and cant represent the modern day dragon.
