Senator Jules Méline, sometime minister of agriculture, President of the representative chamber of France, and Prime Minister, has here given minute and careful instruction on manufacturing and industrial questions in a most interesting manner. “The great object of the book,” says Justin McCarthy in his preface “is to convince the world that the return to the land, and the work that the land still offers in all or most countries, is now the nearest and the surest means for the mitigation or the removal of the troubles which have come on the working populations everywhere, and that the present is the appropriate time for the beginning of such a movement.”
“M. Méline ... is a statesman of the highest rank, who approaches the question in a manner that is at once widely philosophic and highly practical.”
