Kirkup, Thomas. History of socialism. *$2.25. Macmillan.
“This third edition ... has been revised at a few points and enlarged by some forty pages. The first twelve chapters are substantially unchanged, but the thirteenth, treating of the growth of socialism, has been completely rewritten to bring it up to date. The concluding chapters deal with the alleged forces now making for the coming of socialism, and review in a dispassionate, if sympathetic way the philosophy of the movement.”—Nation.
“But none have surpassed Mr. Kirkup in philosophical grasp of the essentials of socialism, or have presented the doctrine in more intelligible form.”
