1. +Karl Marx: Biographical Memoirs.+ By Wilhelm Liebknecht, translated by
Ernest Untermann. Cloth, 50 cents.

This personal biography of Marx, by an intimate friend who was
himself one of the foremost Socialists of Germany, gives a new
insight into the beginnings of Socialism. Moreover, it is a
charming book, as interesting as a novel, and will make an
admirable introduction to heavier reading on Socialism.

2. +Collectivism and Industrial Evolution.+ By Emile Vandervelde, member
of the Chamber of Deputies, Belgium. Translated by Charles H. Kerr.
Cloth, 50 cents.

The author is a Socialist member of the Belgian Parliament and is
one of the ablest writers in the international Socialist movement.
This book is, on the whole, the most satisfactory brief summary of
the principles of Socialism that has yet been written. One
distinctive feature of it is that it takes up the difficult
questions of how the machinery of production could be acquired and
how wages could be adjusted under a Socialist administration.

3. +The American Farmer: An Economic and Historical Study.+ By A. M.
Simons. Cloth, 50 cents.

"The American Farmer," in spite of its small size, is the largest
contribution yet given to the agrarian literature of this country.
The author, besides being a student of American social conditions,
is thoroughly conversant with practical farming, and there is
little doubt that the farmer who reads the work will have to admit
that the conclusions are based on a real understanding of the
difficulties of his struggle with the soil, with railroads, trusts
and foreign competitors.--Chicago Tribune.

4. +The Last Days of the Ruskin Co-operative Association.+ By Isaac
Broome. Cloth, illustrated, 50 cents.
