For the method and philosophy OF the Orsaniza-
ton we speak of we refer our readers to this little
book. which contains very plain succinct and
generally forcible statement Of the whole. Not that
we pledge ourselves to defend Al the considerations
which il presents We can, however safely say
that there il not one which will not repay reAec-
tim. We know no work Of such convenient size,
certainly Of none in the English language which
gives so good a statement of the views held by
those disciples of the theory OF Association who
who have given il the most profound and scientific
study The work is divided into three parts. The
First treats Of the present state Of Labor and OF
some of the evils and miseues herewith con-
nected the Second describes the simple arrange

Gated the Third enters upon the Philosophy OF the
matter and attempts to demonstrate that Organi-
cation TO be in conformity with the laws and de-
sign of the Creator. The Second Part IS especially
well stated The writer supposes country village

brings forward a plan for the organization OF the
laborers in squads, companies and baitalions. The
entire scheme is thus brought wildly and clearly
before the mind and the author is right in his belief
that i, will be easily understood from his statement
He shows also incidentally that the plan may be
partially or wholly adopted according to circum-
stances and the wishes OF the parties
The Third Part occupies above half OF the book.

what has gone before. though it explains the alb

based. This Part is in the form Of a dialogue. We
