“Can not but prove welcome to fair-minded men....  To read it is to have an object-lesson in the meaning of evolution....  There is no better book on the subject for the general reader....  No one could go through the book without being both refreshed and newly instructed by its masterly survey of the growth of the most powerful idea of modern times.”—­The Scotsman.

==BOOKS ON SOCIAL SCIENCE.==

==Socialism New and Old.==

By Prof.  WILLIAM GRAHAM, 12mo.  Cloth, $1.75.

“Professor Graham’s book may be confidently recommended to all who are interested in the study of socialism, and not so intoxicated with its promises of a new heaven and a new earth as to be impatient of temperate and reasoned criticism."_—­London Times._

“Professor Graham presents an outline of the successive schemes of three writers who have chiefly influenced the development of socialism, and dwells at length upon the system of Rousseau, that of St. Simon, and on that of Karl Marx, the founder of the new socialism, ’which has gained favor with the working classes in all civilized countries,’ which agrees with Rousseau’s plan in being democratic, and with St. Simon’s in aiming at collective ownership....  The professor is an independent thinker, whose endeavor to be clear has resulted in the statement of definite conclusions.  The book is a remarkably fair digest of the subject under consideration."_—­Philadelphia Ledger._

==Dynamic Sociology:==

Or, Applied Social Science, as based upon Statical Sociology and the less Complex Sciences. By LESTER F. WARD, A.M.  In 2 vols. 12mo.  Cloth, $4.00.

“A book that will amply repay perusal....  Recognizing the danger in which sociology is, of falling into the class of dead sciences or polite amusements, Mr. Ward has undertaken to ’point out a method by which the breath of life can be breathed into its nostrils.’”—­Rochester Post-Express.

“Mr. Ward has evidently put great labor and thought into his two volumes, and has produced a work of interest and importance.  He does not limit his effort to a contribution to the science of sociology....  He believes that sociology has already reached the point at which it can be and ought to be applied, treated as an art, and he urges that ’the State’ or Government now has a new, legitimate, and peculiar field for the exercise of intelligence to promote the welfare of men.”—­New York Times.

==Criminal Sociology.==

By Prof.  E. FERRI.  A new volume in the Criminology Series, edited by W. Douglas Morrison, 12mo.  Cloth, $1.50.
