PRIJVCIPLiES OF POLITICAL ECONOMY, WITH SOME OF 

 THEIR APPLICATIONS TO SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY. By 



John Stuart Mill. 2 vols. Svo. Cloth, $4.00; half calf, extra, $8.00. 



In the whole ran<?e of extant authorship on political economy, there is no writer except 

 Aflain Smith with whom John Stuart Mill can, without injustice, be compared, iu 

 originality, Adam Smith, as being the acknowledged father of tlie science, takes the pre- 

 cedence, as he does also in exuberance of apt illustration. But in rectitude of understand- 

 ing, clearness, and sagacity. Mill is fully his peer ; in precision of method, range of topics, 

 and adaptation to the present state of society, he is altogether his superior. The "Wealth 

 of Nations " now belongs, indeed, rather to the history of the science than to its exposi- 

 tion. But the "Principles of Political Economy" is an orderly, symmetrical, and lucid 

 exposition of the science in its present advanced state. In extent of information, breadth 

 of treatment, pertinence of fresh illustration, and accommodation to the present wants of 

 the statesman, the merchant, and the social philosopher, this worli is unrivaled. It is 

 written in a luminous and smooth, yet clear-cnt style; and there is dift'used over it a soft 

 atmosphere of feeling, derived from the author's ur.aflected humanity and enlightened in- 

 terest in the welfare of the masses. 



MILL'S PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL ECONOMY : ABPJDGED, 



WITH CRITICAL, BIBLIOGRAPHICAL, AND EXPLAXATORY NOTES, 



AND A SKETCH OF THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL ECONOMY. By 



J. Laurence Laughlin, Ph. D., Assistant Professor of Political Economy in 



Harvard University. With Twenty-four Maps and Charts. A Text-Book for 



Colleges. Svo. 658 pages. Cloth, $3.50. 



" An experience of five years with Mr. Mill's treatise in the class-room convinced me, 

 not only of the great usefulness of what still remains one of the most lucid and systematic 

 hooks yet published which cover the whole range of the study, but I have also fceen con- 

 vinced of the need of such additions as should give the results of later thinkirg, without 

 militating against the generaltenor of Mr. Mill's system; of such illustrations as should 

 fit it better for American students, by turning their attention to the application of princi- 

 ples in the facts around us; of a bibliography which should make it easier to get at the 

 wriiers of other schools who offir opposing views on controverted questions ; and of some 

 attempts to lighten those parts of his work in which Mr. Mill Irightened away the reader 

 by an appearance of too great abstractness, and to render thorn, if possible, more easy of 

 comprehension to the student who first approaches Political Economv through this 

 author."— i'^AOWi Preface. 



THE STUDY OF POLITICAL ECONOMY. HINTS TO STU- 

 DENTS AND TEACHERS. By J. Laurence Laughlin, Ph. D., Assistant 

 Professor of Political Economy in Harvard University. 16mo. Cloth, $1.00. 



" The existence of this little book is due to an attempt to convey, by lectures to students, 

 an understanding of the position which political economy holds in regard, not merely tf> 

 its actual usefulness for every citizen, but to its disciplinary power. . . . The interest 

 which the public now manifests in economic studies led me to put the material of my lect- 

 ures into a ereneral form, in order that they might assist inquirers in any part of the 

 country."— i^rom Preface.
