POLITICAL ECONOMY OF NATURAL
LAW.-The purpose of this book, from the
pen OF Henry Wood. is TO outline a political
economy which is practical and natural
rather than theoretical and artificial, being
a study OF Inherent laws and principles.
10 1887 this author issued a volume en-
titled Natural Law in the Business
World" which was well received and
passed through several editions. The
present book is not revised edition, but
substantially a new book of double the
size. The titles OF a few of the twenty-four
chapters will give some idea of its con-
tents. Among them are The law of CO.
operation, the law of competition. COM
blnations of capital, combinations of labor,
profit sharing. socialism, econ omic Iegisla-
ton, can capital and labor be harmonized !?
the distribution Of wealth, the centraliza-
ton OF business, booms and panics, money
and coinage, tariffs and protection, indus
trlal education, etc. Political economy is
interpreted from the standpoint of evoIu-
ton and natural law. The idealism and
optimism OF this hook strongly distinguish
u from many OF the peSsimistic treatises of
the present time. Boston: Lee & Shep-

notable addresses which were delivered it

Indicate the scope of the discussions, full

cumbersome for the general reader. No one.
Whatever may be his own belief, can 10 al
tnis book without obtaining a broader
view OF humanity, nor can he fail to
recognize the fact that there is a common
ground of faith on which all races NAV
unite. This is the universally accepted
ldea that chance does not prevail in this
world. but that its affairs, material as we'll
as spiritual, are directed by supreme
power The volume has been carefully
compiled from verbatim reports of the
proceedings or the congress. and should be
read by all who are in terested in theology.
