"The author has evidently reflected deeply on the subject of Socialism, and his views are broad, equitable, and quite up to date. In a score or so of chapters he discusses Socialism from manifold points of view, and in its manifold aspects. Mr. Maxwell is not a fanatic; his book is not dull, and his style is not amateurish."--_Hull Daily Mail._ "There is a good deal of charm about Mr. Maxwell's style."--_Northern Daily News._ "The book is well worthy of perusal."--_Hull News._ "The reader who requires more intimate acquaintance with a subject that is often under discussion at the present day, will derive much interest from a perusal of this little work. Whether it exactly expresses the views of the various socialists themselves is another matter, but inasmuch as these can seldom agree even among themselves, the objection is scarcely so serious as might otherwise be thought."--_Publishers' Circular._ "A temperate and reverent study of a great question."--_London Quarterly Review._ "Mr. David Maxwell's book is the timely expression of a richly-furnished mind on the current problems of home politics and social ethics."--_Eastern Morning News._ Price, One Shilling.
