the study of economic science, we can
safely start with no narrower subject
than the Satisfaction of Human Wants.
Labor questions are discussed
with lucidity, from some novel points of

as TO the distribution of the products OF
industry. Under the head of exchange
we find reasonable treatment of money,
Its properties anC relations, and the way
to secure uniformity of value.
Not only in this respect. but in this pri-

points of his treatise, particularly upon
the rights of labor and the distribution of

Not that there is any attempt at fine
writing. Freshness of style and force of
statement give the style its commend
able qualities.
