Original red cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine. Some dirt and spotting to boards, crushed spine ends, and pages are generally fragile. No markings other than library catalog number pasted to spine, and library stamps. Elliot, and Lankester in his preface, seek to rebut specific components of Henri Bergson's philosophical thought, specifically those which they consider counterfactual according to the scientific knowledge of the time. Most of Elliot's response is directed towards Bergson's books Matter and Memory, and Creative Evolution, and the critique addresses Bergson's concepts of time, consciousness and life force, and instinct, and he rebuts these concepts mostly within a materialist perspective. Contents include The Philosophy of Professor Bergson; Reasons for Dissenting from the Philosophy of Professor Bergson; The Progress of Philosophy; The Automaton Theory; The Origin of Fallacies; The True Province of Philosophy.
