PUTNAM'S SONS NEW YORK LONDON 27 WEST TWENTY-THIRD STREET 24 BEDFORD STREET, STRAND The Knickerbocker Press 1898 COPYRIGHT, 1898 BY G.P. PUTNAM'S SONS Entered at Stationers' Hall, London The Knickerbocker Press, New York TO THE OTHER AND BETTER MEMBER OF THE COMMUNISTIC SOCIETY TO WHICH WE BELONG THIS TRANSLATION IS INSCRIBED PREFACE, BY THE TRANSLATOR While rambling through quaint old Nuremberg, last summer, I was driven for shelter from rain into a bookshop. In a conversation with the genial proprietor, he called my attention to a book, lately published, that had already made a deep impression upon the world of German readers. A reading and re-reading of the little book convinced me that English readers, as well, will be glad to follow Professor Sombart in his comprehensive and suggestive review of Socialism. Thanks are due to the learned German professor, whose name appears on the title-page, for his courtesy in this matter; also to his German publisher. I would also express obligation to my friend, Professor Sigmon M. Stern, with whom I have consulted freely on some difficult points of translation. The Introduction by Professor John B. Clark, of Columbia University, will be appreciated, I know, by the reader as well as by myself. A.P.A. APRIL, 1898. INTRODUCTORY NOTE
