To this fourth edition of his volume in the “Garden craft series,” Prof. Bailey has added a new chapter on current plant-breeding practice. “For one who already knows something of garden plants ‘Plant breeding’ affords a royal road to modern evolutionary doctrine, while the changes in the text between the first and the present fourth edition show how rapid has been recent progress in this field.” (Atlan.)
“Gives a remarkably simple and readable account of current practice in this department of horticulture, interpreting every process in the light of recent theory.” E. T. Brewster.

Bailie, William. Josiah Warren, the first American anarchist: a sociological study. **$1. Small.
“Warren’s anarchism was of a type different from that exemplified in the terrorists of today; was, in fact, philosophical anarchism in its purest form. Upholding the doctrine of the sovereignty of the individual and the abolition of all government but self-government, and cherishing the idea that the restraints of government are not needed to induce each individual to exercise his liberty with due regard to the rights of others, Warren spent many years in the endeavor to demonstrate in practice the validity of his theories.”—Outlook.
“Those who are interested in the growth of social theories in this country will welcome this little volume.”
