This great historical story by the eminent French writer is one of the
majestic series that cover the leading and successive episodes of the
history of the human race. The novel treats of the feudal system, the
first Crusade and the rise of the Communes in France. It is the only
translation into English of this masterpiece of Sue.
The New York Sun says:
Eugene Sue wrote a romance which seems to have disappeared in a curious
fashion, called "Les Mysteres du Peuple." It is the story of a Gallic
family through the ages, told in successive episodes, and, so far as we
have been able to read it, is fully as interesting as "The Wandering
Jew" or "The Mysteries of Paris." The French edition is pretty hard to
find, and only parts have been translated into English. We don't know
the reason. One medieval episode, telling of the struggle of the
communes for freedom, is now translated by Mr. Daniel De Leon, under the
title "The Pilgrim's Shell" (New York Labor News Co.). We trust the
success of his effort may be such as to lead him to translate the rest
of the romance. It will be the first time the feat has been done in
English.

Woman Under Socialism
By August Bebel
Translated from the Original German of the Thirty-third Edition by
Daniel De Leon, Editor of the New York Daily People, with translator's
preface and foot notes.
Cloth, 400 pages, with pen drawing of the author.
Price, $1.00
The complete emancipation of woman, and her complete equality with man
is the final goal of our social development, whose realization no power
on earth can prevent;--and this realization is possible only by a social
change that shall abolish the rule of man over man--hence also of
capitalists over working-men. Only then will the human race reach its
highest development. The "Golden Age" that man has been dreaming of for
thousands of years, and after which they have been longing, will have
come at last. Class rule will have reached its end for all time, and
along with it, the rule of man over woman.
