PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL ECONOMY, WITH SOME OF 

 THEIR APPLICATIONS TO SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY. By 



John Stuart Mill. 2 vols. 8vo. Cloth, $4.00 ; half calf, extra, $8.00. 



In the whole range of extant authorship on political economy, there is no writer except 

 Aflam Smith with whom John Stuart Mill can, without injustice, be compared, in 

 originality, Adam Smith, as being the acknowledged father of the 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 oi" information, breadth 

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

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

 written in a luminous and smooth, yet clear-cut style; and there is diffused over it a soft 

 atmosphere of feeling, derived from the author's unaffected humanity and enlightened in- 

 terest in the welfare of the masses.

 WITH CRITICAL, BIBLIOGRAPHICAL, AND EXPLAXATORY XOTES, 

 AXD A SKETCH OF THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL ECONOMY. By 

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

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

 Colleges. 8vo. 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 

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

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

 militating against the general tenor 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 

 writers of other schools who offer opposing views on controrerted questions : and of some 

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

 by an appearance of too great abstractness, aud to render them, if possible, rnore easy of 

 comprehension to the student who first appioacbes Political Economy through this 

 author.-'— i^^AOWi Preface.

 DEXTS AXD TEACHERS. By J. LaurExVce 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 to 

 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 general form, in order that they might assist inquirers in any part of the 

 country."— i^rcwi Preface.
