“A simple explanation of the principles of socialism as advocated by American socialists—a work suited for the busy man on the farm, in the shop, the factory and the store, who has little time to give to abstract treatises.... This work contains fifteen chapters” in which “the various phases of socialism are so elucidated as to be easily grasped by the individual.”—Arena.
“The treatment of the subject is so admirable that we take pleasure in recommending it to our readers.” Amy C. Rich.

Benson, Arthur Christopher (Christopher Carr, pseud.). Life of Edward FitzGerald. [**]75c. Macmillan.
A volume recently added to the “English men of letters” series. The life of the man known to the world mainly thru his “Omar Khayyám” is a “fair subject of public discussion, not only because he was a poet of special charm and fineness, but also because he was a peculiarly interesting specimen of human nature.” (Outlook.)
“Mr. Benson has analyzed the mind of FitzGerald with rare penetration.”

“Mr. Benson has perhaps made of the brief biography required by the scheme of this series all that could be made of it.”

“Mr. A. C. Benson was a capital choice for the writing of this book. Not only is he sympathetic with FitzGerald, but he is a delightful writer.” Jeanette L. Gilder.
