Can life be worth living to the hordes of miserable women who have to work from fifteen to eighteen hours a day for a wage of from twenty-five to thirty-five or forty cents? And what have all the study of political economy, all the writing of treatises about labor, all the Parliamentary debates, all the blue books, all the philanthropic organizations, all the appeals to a common humanity, done, in half a century, for these victims of what is called modern civilization? Mrs. Campbell is by no means a sentimentalist. We know of no one who examines facts more coolly and practically, or who labors more earnestly to find the real causes for the continued depression of the labor market, as this horrible state of things is euphemistically termed. The conclusions she reaches are therefore sober and trustworthy.--_New York Tribune._ No work of fiction, however imaginative, could present more startling pictures than does this little book, which is sympathetic, but not sentimental, the result of personal investigation, and a most valuable contribution to the literature of the labor question.--_Philadelphia Record._ Mrs. Helen Campbell's "Prisoners of Poverty," a study of the condition of some of the lower strata of the laboring classes, particularly the working-women in the great cities of the United States, is supplemented with another volume, "Prisoners of Poverty Abroad," in which the life of working-women of European cities, chiefly London and Paris, is depicted with equally graphic and terrible truthfulness. They are the result of fifteen months of travel and study, and are examples of Mrs. Campbell's well-known methods of examination and description. They paint a horrible picture, but a truthful one, and no person of even ordinary sensibilities can read these books without experiencing a strong desire to do something to abate the monstrous injustice which they describe.--_Good Housekeeping._ _Sold by all Booksellers. Mailed, post-paid, on receipt of the price, by the Publishers_, LITTLE, BROWN, AND COMPANY, BOSTON. _In Foreign Kitchens._ WITH CHOICE RECIPES FROM ENGLAND, FRANCE, GERMANY, ITALY, AND THE NORTH.
