Samuelson, author of THE Way OUT
etc. Published by F. Tennyson Nicely,
New York. The author premises in en-
tering upon his subject with few mod
est words, dsclaiming Tor the book any
attempt at rhetorical flourishes with
which to conceal from view defective
architecture, weak foundations or false
construction" This sort of writing. he
says, has been ''studously avoided"
His purpose, he adds, is "to build up
and not to destroy" and to rear up
structure of thought and contempla-
ton on broad and strong foundations,
with all the atoms of the structure in
their proper places, to the end that a
noble and lofty edifice may appear"
He adds: II would not take unto my
self the sole credit Of it's creation, for
let book be, as it were, of an uneven
merit, if it represent and develop the
working of new system, it would be
mighty effort were it wrought out en-
tirely by a single mind without the aid
of great research, judicious pruning and
careful inquiry as to the different con-
illusions of different thinkers.
with this introduction, my readers,
the structure Is thrown open, not only
to public inspection, but for public use"
The author With this and other intro
ductory words bespeaks a careful, unbi-
assed reading of the book, If it's true OBJ
ject and aim is to stand properly re-
vealed. The book treats of the science
of government; education; mind; man
and the other animals; degeneracy;
economy; cooperation; labor; law and
egislation-their uses and abuses; cash
iur credit; property; the philosophy of the
tax; the working of the tax; money-its
origin, properties, function--its uses and
abuses-gold or silver, or paper-joint
metalism,' the concluding chapters III
