The reader will find in the following pages referenceto another work by Dr. Ferrero which will shortlycome into publication under the title of Between theOld World and the New. It is in order to explain thatBetween the Old World and the New was brought intoprint in continental editions (in Italy, in France andelsewhere) before the publication of the present work.The author has, however, decided, that for the English-speakingreaders of the two volumes it would be advisableto change the order of publication and to issuefirst this study of Morals and Manners. The secondbook, Between the Old World and the New, will appear,in New York and in London, early in the autumn of1914.
