Prof. Perry's most elementary text-book, Introduction to Political Economy, presents the subjects of Value, Production, Commerce, Money, Credit, and Taxation, in a way plain and easily grasped by young minds, but at the same time scientifically exact. In his preface the author says: "I have endeavored so to lay the foundations of Political Economy in their whole circuit, that they will never need to be disturbed afterwards by persons resorting to it for their early instruction, however long and however far these persons may pursue their studies in this science."
"This work is not meant in any way to take the place of its author's larger treatise, but rather to occupy a field which, in the nature of the case, that work cannot occupy. It is not an abridgment of that work but a separate treatise, intended primarily for the use of students and readers whose time for study is small, but who wish to learn the broad principles of the science thoroughly and well, especially with reference to the scientific principles which are involved in the practical discussions of our time.... We need scarcely add, with respect to a writer so well known as he, that his thinking is sound as well as acute, or that his doctrines are those which the greatest masters of political science have approved."

Prof. Perry's Advanced Work.
POLITICAL ECONOMY.
Eighteenth Edition.
Rewritten and Enlarged, 1 vol., Crown 8vo. $2.50.
This book has passed through several revisions, to the most thorough of which it was subjected in 1883. It has grown in size, in symmetry and in maturity of thought and expression, so that it is a complete exposition of the science, both historically and topically. The distinctive feature of the work is its discarding the term Wealth and making Value the subject of the science. Original light is thrown on the vexed questions of Land, Money, and Credit, and the whole trend of the book is on the side of sound currency and unrestricted trade.
Professor Perry's style is admirably clear and racy; his illustrations are forcible and well chosen, and he has made a subject interesting and open to the comprehension of any diligent student, which has often been left by writers vague and befogged and bewildering. This work has stood excellently the test of the class room, and has been adopted by many of the chief educational institutions in this country. Among them are Yale College, Bowdoin College, Dartmouth, Trinity, Wesleyan, University of Wooster, Dennison University, Rutgers College, New York University, Union College, Seton Hall College, Hampden-Sidney, and many other colleges and normal and high schools.
