INTRODUCTION TO POLITICAL ECONOMY. By ARTHUR LATHAM PERRY, Professor of History and Political Economy in Williams College. Revised edition. 12mo, $1.50.
FROM THE PREFACE.—"I have endeavored in this book 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."
THE N. Y. EVENING POST.—"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."
AMERICAN POLITICAL ECONOMY. By FRANCIS BOWEN, Professor of Natural Religion and Moral Philosophy in Harvard College. 8vo, $2.50.
This treatise presents views compatible with the idea that "every country has a political economy of its own, suitable to its own physical circumstances of position on the globe, and to the character, habits, and institutions of the people."
THE PHILADELPHIA AGE.—"If our members of Congress would vote themselves a copy of this book, and read it, fewer wild schemes would be concocted by them, and a great saving of time and the people's money would be secured."
THE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN.—"His arguments are worth considering, and his whole book is of high value to any American to study economical questions."
CONTEMPORARY SOCIALISM. By JOHN RAE, M.A. 8vo, $2.50.
Such a book as this which Mr. Rae has written—a thorough history and analysis by a man of singularly candid and liberal mind, equally without prejudice and fanaticism—has long been needed and earnestly wished for by every student of socialism, and in all countries.
THE LONDON SATURDAY REVIEW.—"A useful and ably written book."
THE CONGREGATIONALIST.—"No subject more needs thorough and impartial discussion at present than this, and the work before us by John Rae is eminently able and helpful. It is distinguished in a remarkable degree by breadth of view and the grasp of underlying and widely reaching principles, and also by his minuteness of detail and the careful relation of facts and figures in support of its position."
COMMUNISM AND SOCIALISM. In their History and Theory. A Sketch. By THEODORE D. WOOLSEY, D.D., LL.D., late President of Yale College. 12mo, $1.50.
This book is the only comprehensive review of its subject, within small compass, yet exactly meeting the needs of the reader, that is accessible in English. The candor of the discussion is remarkable; the book is the argument of a perfectly fair reasoner, painting nothing in too dark colors, but taking his opponents at their best.
THE N. Y. COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.—"The work is an epitome of the history of the socialistic and communistic movement, and will prove a most valuable text book to all who have not made themselves familiar with this great subject."
