The Logical Vegetarian

“Why shouldn't I have a purely vegetarian drink? Why shouldn't I take vegetables in their highest form, so to speak? The modest vegetarians ought obviously to stick to wine or beer, plain vegetarian drinks, instead of filling their goblets with the blood of bulls and elephants, as all conventional meat-eaters do, I suppose.”—Dalroy.

SOME DELIGHTFUL BOOKS BY G. K. CHESTERTON

* CHARLES DICKENS.

With 2 Portraits in Photogravure. Eighth Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s.

A famous book on Dickens which is intended as a general justification of that author. Mr. Chesterton compares the immense achievements produced by the optimism of Dickens in the realm of reform with the small results produced by the pessimistic method of later days. He treats each of the novels in turn, and he devotes the latter part of his book to a general estimate of the influence of Dickens.
