A volume in the series of “French classics for English readers.” In the selections the aim of the editor has been to “keep all the essential parts of the story, and all the scenes which had most literary value and human interest; to retain all the best of the historical satire; and to include other parts which have some special interest, such as the chapters on education.”
“Mr. Page has done his task as well as it could be done.”

[*] Rae, John. Sociological theory of capital: being a complete reprint of the New principles of political economy, 1834; ed. with biographical sketch and notes by Charles Whitney Mixter. [*]$4. Macmillan.
“Rae’s book is a refutation of Smith’s system, and in the course of chapter after chapter he carefully takes the author of the ‘Wealth of nations’ to pieces. The result is that he arrives at a defense of protection as opposed to free trade and of legislative interference as opposed to the laissez-faire policy. Professor Mixter in his recrudescence of Rae has split the book in the middle, giving the first and last parts in an appendix.”—Pub. Opin.
