CRITICAL NOTICES.
"This edition has the marks of mature power and complete grasp of the subject, and that finished style in which thought and language have become perfectly adjusted to each other. The statements and illustrations convey the thought clearly and aptly."—Boston Watchman.
"You have made an exceedingly valuable contribution to the science of political economy. I am not a little surprised that a college professor should have written a book so intelligible to the common mind, and so eminently practical and instructive. Accept my thanks for your kindness in sending me the book, and my grateful acknowledgments as your fellow-citizen for the service you have rendered the country. It is, in my judgment, the ablest and most valuable work yet published upon the science of which it treats. I do not see where it could be improved in matter, or style, or arrangement."—Hon. H. McCullough, Secretary of the U. S. Treasury.
"Your book interests students more than any I have ever instructed from."—President T. D. Woolsey, Yale College.
"So far as I have been able to read it, it seems to my humble judgment remarkably clear, as well as well-timed and sound."—Hon. W. E. Forster, M.P., Leeds, Eng.
"The gem of your work is 'foreign trade.' It is the best thing I have ever seen, the most clear and satisfactory. If my friend Cobden were alive, he would send you his congratulations and thanks."—Hon. Amasa Walker, M.C., Lecturer on Political Economy, Amherst College.
"As a manual for general reading and popular instruction, Prof. Perry's book is far superior to any work on this subject before issued in the United States."—New York Times.
"We cordially recommend this book to all, of whatever school of political economy, who enjoy candid statement and full and logical discussion."—New York Nation.
"There is more common sense in this book than in any of the more elaborate works on the same subject that have preceded it. It is the most interesting and valuable one that has been given to the American public on this important subject."—New York Independent.
"In all the portions of the book which we have read the author shows himself to be a clear, strong, bold, and generally sound thinker."—New Englander.
"Prof. Perry has certainly produced one of the best elementary treatises on political economy that we have ever met with in any language."—New York Commercial.
"Prof. Perry is a vigorous thinker, a clear and forcible writer."—Princeton Review.
