PREFACE

certain moderate success in both Europe and America, and later on a cheap edition had a considerable sale in Great Britain.

Bound up with it here is a paper called "Scepticism of the Instrument," which was read to the Oxford Philosophical Society on November 8th, 1903, and which enlarged upon and cleared up various issues raised in "A Modern Utopia." Following upon that are several papers of unequal merit and various interest that it seems just worth while to reprint in a collected edition of the writer's work.
