Walker's Political Economy. Advanced Course. 



By Francis A. Walker, President of the Massachusetts Institute of 

 Technology, viii + 537 pp. 8vo. Revised and Enlarged. ^ 



The peculiar merit of this book is its reality. The reader is 

 brought to see the application of the laws of political economy 

 to real facts. He learns the extent to which those laws hold 

 good, and the mariner in which they are applied. The subject 

 is divided, as usual, into the three great branches of pro- 

 duction, exchange, and distribution. An interesting and 

 suggestive " book " on consumption is added which serves to 

 bring in conveniently the principles of population. The last 

 part of the volume is given to the consideration of various 

 practical applications of economic principles. 



Walker's Political Economy. Briefer Couise. 



viii -I-41S pp. lamo. 



The demand for a briefer manual by the same author for 

 the use of colleges in which only a short time can be given to 

 the subject has led to the publication of the present volume. 

 The work of abridgment has been effected mainly through 

 excision, although some structural changes have been made, 

 notably in the parts relating to distribution and consumption. 



Walker's First Lessons in Political Economy. 



Elementary Course. X-1-332PP. izmo. 



This book is addressed to pupils fifteen or sixteen years of 

 age. What has been attempted is a clear arrangement of 

 topics ; a simple, direct, and forcible presentation of the ques- 

 tions raised ; the avoidance, as far as possible, of certain 

 metaphysical distinctions which the author has found per- 

 plexing ; a frequent repetition of cardinal doctrines, and 

 especially a liberal use of concrete illustrations, drawn from 

 facts of common experience or observation.
