NOTICES OF BOOKS. 



The Industrial Revolution of the i8th Century in England. By 

 Arnold Toynbee. Humboldt Publishing Company, New York 

 (Price, 60 cents.) 



The point of view of the author of this important work is that of one 

 who, while he admits the benefits conferred upon mankind by the old 

 school of political economists — Adam Smith, Ricardo, Malthus, and the 

 rest — believes that their work is done, and that the world has got be- 

 yond them, and stands in need of something more. The work is a 

 history of " the bitter argument between economists and human be- 

 ings^''' to use the striking phrase of his chapter on " Ricardo and the 

 old political economy." When the economic relations of men are 

 studied by an observer who, to abundant learning, adds the quality of 

 human sympathy, the result is no "• dismal science." Besides the trea- 

 tise named above, the presejit work contains three popular addresses on 

 " Wages and Natural Law," " Industry and Democracy," and "Are 

 Radicals Socialists?" as also papers on " The Education of Co-opera- 

 tion," and " The Ideal Relations of Church and State."
