Thornton. ON LABOUR : Its Wrongful Claims and Rightful 

 Dues ; Its Actual Present State and Possible Future. By WILLIAM 

 THOMAS THORNTON, Author of" A Plea for Peasant Proprietors," 

 etc. Second Edition, revised. 8vo. 14^. 



The object of this volume is to endeavour to find "a cure for human 

 destitution" the search after which has been the passion and the 

 work of the author's life. The work is divided into four books, 

 and each book into a number of chapters. Book I. "Labour's 

 Causes of Discontent" II. "Labour and Capital in Debate" 

 III. "Labour and Capital in Antagonism." IV. " Labour and 

 Capital in Alliance." All the highly important problems in Social 

 and Political Economy connected with Labour and Capital are 

 here discussed with knowledge, vigour, and originality, and for a 

 noble purpose. The new edition has been thoroughly revised and 

 considerably enlarged. " We cannot fail to recognize in his work 

 the result of independent thought, high moral aim, and generous 

 intrepidity in a noble cause. . . . . A really valuable contribution. 

 The number of facts accumulated, both historical and statistical, 

 make an especially valuable portion of the work." WESTMINSTER 

 REVIEW.
