"This volume forms the first of a Classical Series projected by the Manchester University, who are to be congratulated on having begun with a book so original and full of interest.... It is admirably argued, and is instinct with a sympathetic imagination. It is, at the very least, an extremely able attempt to solve a very complex problem."--_Manchester Guardian_. "Mr. Norwood demonstrates on every page his scholarship and knowledge, and gives proof of much painstaking research. The treatise is as valuable as it is interesting."--_Manchester City News_. "It is a most ingenious theory, and a reviewer whom it has left unconvinced is all the more bound to give his testimony to the consistent skill, learning, and independence of judgment with which it is presented. The book ... strikes us as the product of vigorous and independent thought."--_Times_. "Mr. Norwood's learned and ingenious argument."--_Westminster Gazette_. "Mr. Norwood's proposed solution, though novel, is extremely plausible."--_Sheffield Daily Telegraph_. "Lovers of Euripides may not be convinced by his subtle argument, but they will certainly find his book suggestive and stimulating."--_Daily News_. "Mr. Norwood's book has even in the eyes of a sceptic the considerable merit of stating the hypothesis in a very thoroughgoing and able manner, and at least giving it its full chance of being believed."--Professor Gilbert Murray in the _Nation_. "L'interprétation de M. Norwood est certainement très ingénieuse; elle est même très séduisante."--_Revue Critique_. ECONOMIC SERIES. No. I. THE LANCASHIRE COTTON INDUSTRY. By S. J. CHAPMAN, M.A., M.
