                                PREFACE

The aim of the present book is twofold: to set forth the leading phases
of the historic socialism, and to attempt a criticism and interpretation
of the movement as a whole. In this edition the changes in the history
are concerned chiefly with the revival of the International, which,
since the Stuttgart Congress in 1907, may be regarded as an accomplished
fact.
