THE PASSING OF THE AMERICAN

BY MONROE ROYCE

Crown 8vo. Cloth. 5s. net

MODERN AMERICA UNVEILED

Mr Monroe Royce is a fearless and discerning critic, and The Passing of the American is no ordinary book.

With refreshing candour the author reveals the prevailing conditions of his own race to-day, not in the spirit of a carping cynic, but of one who would arrest the downward trend of the national character.

Not since “Henry George” wrote Social Problems has a more powerful, brilliant, and startling presentation of the industrial, social, political, and religious life of the American people been written—and much of it applies with equal force to all Western civilised nations.
