Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cassandra, or the Future of the British Empire
It a favour of fortune that I was able to have my first ?ing in Riddles of the Sphinx, and in this little book I am committing the further imprudence Of having a second. For I am well aware that most of the ideas here ventilated are very debatable (and I hope, worth debating) and that a prophet of ill must expect to have many stones cast at him. No party will be pleased by all the views this little book expresses, nor will any welcome all its predictions. This, however, will not displease me altogether. For it is hardly possible for a philosopher honestly to be a party man, and an irresponsible philosopher's valedictory, like the curate's egg, can hardly aim higher than at being pronounced 'good in.
