Excerpt from The Perils of Peace In revising the proofs of this book I realise how fast events are moving. The return of Russia, which even when I wrote was as obvious to rrie as it must, one would think, have been obvious to everybody ex cept Mr George, is already an accomplished fact. The offensive in the West, which I speak of as a future event, is already in pro gress. It would be unwise to prophesy concerning these matters. Before my book is out the military situation may have changed for the worse or for the better. But it is important to emphasise. The fact that the peril of which I write in this book is one which increases instead of diminishes with the improved prospects of victory. The greater the measure of our apparent success, the larger the concessions which the Enemy will be disposed to make, and the more dangerous the possible efi'ect'of such concessions upon uninstructed opinion. For, as you and I realise, in dealing with the thing called Prussia, the acceptance of any concession short of unconditional sur render, is an act of suicide.

Excerpt from The Price of Peace Men have been wondering why they cannot get rid of war, and why participation in human slaughter has always been identified with respectability and religious duty. So I print the history of: the ancient British priests who personated deity, wrote all scriptures, made war a part of religion, and used kings as their agents for destruction.

Excerpt from The Ensign of Peace Many eminent Philosophers and Divines have laboured with unwearied assiduity for the general good of Mankind, and left behind them a multiplicity of excellent rules, in order to instruct and lead men in the paths of virtue and temperance. I do not pretend to any great degree of knowledge in Philosophy, Divinity, or Physic; yet am certain, that I have hit upon a Medicine which will reduce the Flesh (in a great measure) to the Will of the Spirit, and induce men to walk with pleasure through life, in a more than ordinary good irate of bodily health. A great deal has been said in several pompous advertisements respecting the cure of diseases, though few, I believe, have answered the end proposed. 'Tis far from my design to impose upon the public; and, I hope, such as make a sufficient trial of the Medicine will have no reason to complain of its effects.
