“The author, Mr. John Graham Brooks, takes up and discusses
through nearly four hundred pages the economic significance
of the social questions of the hour, the master passions at
work among us, men _versus_ machinery, and the solution of our
present ills in a better concurrence than at present exists--an
organization whereby every advantage of cheaper service and
cheaper product shall go direct to the whole body of the
people.... Nothing upon his subject so comprehensive and at the
same time popular in treatment as this book has been issued
in our country. It is a volume with live knowledge--not only
for workman but for capitalist, and the student of the body
politic--for every one who lives--and who does not?--upon the
product of labor.”--_The Outlook._
Mr. Bliss Perry, the editor of _The Atlantic Monthly_, says
of it: “A fascinating book--to me the clearest, sanest, most
helpful discussion of economic and human problems I have read
for years.”

_The Larger Aspects of Socialism_
_Cloth, $1.50 net; postpaid, $1.63_
“For the second time William English Walling has made a notable
contribution to the literature of Socialism.”--_Mary Brown
Sumner in The Survey._
“Your two books, together and separately, constituted the
supreme English contribution to Socialism.”--_Professor George
D. Herron._
“This book is exceptionally suggestive and interesting....
It is to be hoped that Mr. Walling will continue to give
us such careful and suggestive analyses of socialistic
thought.”--_Alexander Fleisher in The Annals of the American
Academy._
“The author has earned a right to a front-rank place among
the American Socialist ‘intellectuals.’... A clear-sighted
observer, and a reporter honest with himself and the
public.”--_The Nation._
“You are certainly one of those exasperating men who must
be counted with. I have gone over your first book with
admiration and extreme disapprobation. There is no book with
which I have any acquaintance which is so truthful in telling
what a considerable body of our countrymen are thinking
about.”--_Professor Albert Bushnell Hart._

distinct and new point of view.”--_The New York Times._
