Excerpt from A Boy's Control and Self-Expression: Illustrated With About 250 FigsT is supposed that a book should keep within reach, or at least within sight, of a single point, as anyone walking round St. Mary's of the Scilly Isles usually keeps within sight of the simple looking Marconi Station.

Excerpt from What Foods Feed UsThose whose natural instinct is unperverted require no rules of diet, no hints as to what to avoid. By preference they choose what is really needed for building their body, repairing its waste, supplying its fuel, removing its refuse. They enjoy simple and cheap foods, and need have little fear that they will be either starved, or over-stimulated, or clogged. Their physical conscience tells them alike what to tak...

That our evidence does not often justify that dogmatism with which pre-historic forms or constructions have hitherto been mapped out as certainties, and that many views hitherto stated and accepted as certainties still remain to be proved to be certainties?The new matter in this book is, roughly ...

Excerpt from Failures of VegetarianismSimpler Foods which I make the basis of my own food-supply, e.g. Cheese, Plasmon, and milled nuts. The name is misleading.
