king Mammon and the Heir Appar-
ent," by George A. Richardson. Arena
Publishing Company, Copley Square.
London. Paper, so cents. The character
and purpose of this volume is clearly in
dicated by its title. 1t deals in the main
with the question of the inheritance of
wealth. The author contends that the in
heritance of wealth, beyond a certain
modest amount at least, is a fundamental
wrong, and should be abolished. This
contention he bases on two main princi-
pies: The right of every human being to
fair opportunity to labor; and the
wrong involved in all claims to wealth
that are not based upon some form of
productive effort The Inheritance of
wealth, he contends, violates both these
principles. 1t violates the former because
a person who inherits no wealth does not
start level with one who inherits say
81, 900 900 or more; and Ii violates the latter
because a person who inherits wealth
(''the heir apparently obtains it without
any productive effort of his own.
