i2nio, cloth, 580 pages, $1.7$ 



Within the past seven years there has been in Great Britain 

 a constant succession of important acts : workmen's compen- 

 sation, trade disputes, labor exchanges, old-age pensions, the 

 Lloyd-George Budget, the defeat of the House of Lords, 

 national workmen's insurance a veritable revolution in con- 

 temporary politics. 



Each important act of this kind is here treated in a special 

 chapter, its historical setting explained by the editor, the text of 

 the act given, and extracts inserted from some of the liveliest 

 speeches of Parliament illustrative of the various arguments 

 advanced both for and against it. To the historian, the social 

 worker, and the practical economist the book will prove invaluable. 



American readers owe to Carlton Hayes the best opportunity they have yet 

 had for becoming acquainted at first hand with the details of recent epoch-making 

 legislation on social problems in the United Kingdom. TAe Living Age. 



The record is both convenient and complete. Altogether it is an unusually 

 important and workmanlike compilation of the current history of social politics.
