published in 1928 "Few wittier or wiser books have appeared in this
stimulating series." Spectator "...delicious fun." Guardian A

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. 90pp 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 Who was Jesus?
How did Christianity begin, become orthodox, receive recognition as
the state religion of the Roman Empire? What has been the history

and surveys of state of English churches in the early 20th century.
114pp 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.
