5. The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State. By Frederick Engels. Translated by Ernest Untermann. Cloth, 50 cents.
This is one of the most important of the author's works, and although first published in 1884, was never accessible to English readers until our translation appeared in 1902. It contains practically everything necessary to the general reader in the voluminous work of Morgan, and it furthermore gives many additional facts and a coherent, scientific treatment of the whole subject. The book is of great propaganda value, in that it shows the folly of the popular idea that wealth and poverty always have existed and so may always be expected to continue.
6. The Social Revolution. By Karl Kautsky. Translated by A. M. and May Wood Simons. Cloth, 50 cents.
Kautsky is the editor of the Neue Zeit, and is universally recognized as one of the ablest Socialist writers and thinkers in Europe. This book is in two parts. Part I., Reform and Revolution, explains the essential difference between the Socialist party and all reform parties. Part II., The Day After the Revolution, gives straightforward answers to the questions so often asked about what the Socialists would do if entrusted with the powers of government.
7. Socialism, Utopian and Scientific. By Frederick Engels. Translated by Edward Aveling, D.Sc., with a Special Introduction by the Author. Cloth, 50 cents.
This book ranks next to the Communist Manifesto as one of the best short statements in any language of the fundamental principles of Socialism. It is an essential part of every Socialist library, however small.
8. Feuerbach: The Roots of the Socialist Philosophy. By Frederick Engels. Translated, with Critical Introduction, by Austin Lewis. Cloth, 50 cents.
This book is a criticism on the works of a forgotten philosopher, but it is still of timely interest, since attempts are still being made to reintroduce dualist notions into the philosophy of Socialism. Austin Lewis contributes an interesting historical introduction.
9. American Pauperism and the Abolition of Poverty. By Isador Ladoff, with a supplement, "Jesus or Mammon," by J. Felix. Cloth, 50 cents.
A study of the last United States census, bringing out in bold relief the social contrasts that are purposely left obscure in the official documents. An arsenal of facts for Socialist writers and speakers.
