First and Last Things is a 1908 work of philosophy by H. G. Wells setting forth his beliefs in four books entitled Metaphysics, Of Belief, Of General Conduct, and Some Personal Things. Parts of the book were published in the Independent Magazine in July and August 1908. Its main intellectual in uences are Darwinism and certain German thinkers Wells had read, such as August Weismann. The pragmatism of William James, who had become a friend of Wells, was also an in uence. The origins of the First and Last Things are to be found in a reading and discussion group of which Amber Reeves was a part. The group was based originally on the Young Fabians and probably closely affiliated with the Oxford socialist movement. Wells was invited in the fall of 1907 to deliver three lectures to the group, and as he says in the volume's opening pages, my notes soon outran the possibilities and he expanded these memoranda into a book. Each RADLEY CLASSIC is a meticulously restored, luxurious and faithful reproduction of a classic book; produced with elegant text layout, clarity of presentation, and stylistic features that make reading a true pleasure. Special attention is given to legible fonts and adequate letter sizing, correct line length for readability, generous margins and triple lead (lavish line separation); plus we do not allow any mistakes/changes/ additions to creep into the author's words.
