A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Origins of Popular Superstitions, Customs and Ceremonies. By T. SHARPER KNOWLSON. Crown 8vo, 6s. net. We meet people every day who are superstitious, but who can give no intelligent account of the origin of those beliefs that it is dangerous, for instance, to sit thirteen at table, or to break a looking-glass. To trace a habit of thinking and of action to its source is frequently to dispel an illusion; at any rate, the interest of the search for origin has a charm all its own, and Mr. Sharper Knowlson, working on the basis of old authorities, has brought forth a mass of attractive exposition respecting popular beliefs and customs which cannot fail to secure the reader's attention. By the same Author, The Education of the Will. Crown 8vo, 6s. net. Can Will-power be trained? If so, how? These are the two main questions before Mr. Sharper Knowlson in "The Education of the Will." As a book it covers the middle ground between the erudite studies of professors of medicine and psychology on the one hand, and the extravagant literature of many "New Thought" writers on the other hand. The author's aim is to popularise the results of research, and set forth in a strictly practical manner the best known methods of developing Will-power. The volume is a vigorous attempt to combine theory with practical wisdom. T. Werner Laurie, Clifford's Inn, London.
