Résumé :
William Hurrell Mallock, a prominent British philosopher, wrote this 1878 English satire based upon the religious liberalism or scientific optimism of Arnold, Pater, Huxley, Tyndall, Ruskin, Jowett, and other leading Victorians. Dedicated to `Violet Fane', this Peacockian symposium in novel-form introduces her as Mrs Sinclair. Other characters admittedly drawn from life are Dr. Jenkinson (Jowett), Mr. Herbert (Ruskin), Mr. Storks (Huxley) and Mr. Stockton (Tyndal), Mr. Luke (Matthew Arnold), Mr. Rose (Walter Pater). An important title in the history of utopian literature.. Mallock was also known for his books on atheism and socialism as well.

Burkholder Media Classics...Of making many books there is no end (Ecclesiastes 12:12). Everywhere we look we can find books. Hardly is there a place, whether in the home, in the shop, in the workplace, in the museum, or in the religious institution, where we do not find some type of literature. And like Solomon said, of making many books there is no end. It was true in his day, and it is true in our day. And this is why Burkholder Media has undertaken the task of reprinting Public Domain works that have been written and preserved through the ages. Public Domain books are not under copyright stipulations, and can be distributed freely without permission from the original publisher. But in so doing, Burkholder Media takes every effort to giver proper credit to whom credit is due. Therefore, these reprints retain all pertinent information to acknowledge the original authors and publishers. There is no lack of books being written today, and many good books can be found among this plethora of writing. And yet, there is something special about old books, books that have stood the test of time. This does not mean all old books are good books. In fact, many of the books that have been preserved throughout history are not fit for the Christian mind. Many of them are of little use to the Christian, and as a company, Burkholder Media has undertaken the task of reprinting only those books of value to the Christian mind. Burkholder Media appreciates any and all feedback from our readers. We strive toward excellency, not only in the layout of our books, but also in the character of our books. Everything we do, we do to the glory of God. May He alone be glorified for any and all good that may come from this project of reprinting books that the whole family can be edified wherewith and strengthened in their Christian faith.
