The Distribution of Wealth
A Theory of Wages, Interest, and Profits
Cloth, 8vo, 445 pp., $3.00
"It is not too much to say that the publication of Professor Clark's book marks an epoch in the history of economic thought in the United States. Its inspirations, its illustrations, even its independence of the opinions of others, are American; but its originality, the brilliancy of its reasoning, and its completeness deserve and will surely obtain for it a place in the world literature."—Henry R. Seager, in the Annals of the American Academy.
"Professor Clark's book deserves more attention from general readers than
they are accustomed to bestow upon works on abstract economics. It is,
indeed, a book written by an economist for economists, but its style, its
clear and basic thought, illuminates a subject which the thinking public
continually discusses."—The Outlook.
The Control of Trusts
An Argument in Favor of Curbing the Power of Monopoly by a Natural Method
Published by the Columbia University Press
Cloth, 12mo, 60 cents
"Not only has Professor Clark something to say, but he says it with
such force and brevity that the busiest man or woman can find time to
listen to him. Moreover, he understands the rare art of writing a
preface. The straightaway manner in which he outlines the scope of his
book reminds one of the famous first lines in Macaulay's 'History of
England,' and promises much which this book fulfils."—Boston
Advertiser.

An Introduction to the Study of Agricultural Economics
By Henry C. Taylor, M.S.Agr., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Political Economy in the University of Wisconsin.
The factors of agricultural production and their economic properties
are first studied; then the forces and conditions which determine the
prices of agricultural products, and the principles to be followed in
estimating the value or proper rent-rate of land and equipments.
The Economics of Distribution
By John A. Hobson, Author of "The War in South Africa: Its Causes and Effects."
The Political Science Quarterly declared this book a welcome
addition to the literature of economic theory. "By its critical as
well as by its constructive work it helps to force readers out of the
deep rut in which Ricardian formulas have so long caused economic
thought to run."

By FRANKLIN HENRY GIDDINGS
Professor of Sociology, Columbia University
Democracy and Empire
With Studies of their Psychological, Economic, and Moral Foundations
Cloth, 8vo, $2.50
"The work as a whole is the most profound and closely reasoned defence of territorial expansion that has yet appeared.... The volume is one of rare thoughtfulness and insight. It is a calm, penetrating study of the trend of civilization and of our part in it, as seen in the light of history and of evolutionary philosophy."—The Chicago Tribune.
"The question which most interests both Professor Giddings and his
readers is the application of his facts, his sociology, and his
prophecy, to the future of the American Empire.... The reader will
rise from it with a broader charity and with a more intelligent hope
for the welfare of his country."—The Independent.
The Principles of Sociology
An Analysis of Phenomena of Association and of Social Organization
8vo, Cloth, $3.00
"It is a treatise which will confirm the highest expectations of those who have expected much from this alert observer and virile thinker. Beyond a reasonable doubt, the volume is the ablest and most thoroughly satisfactory treatise on the subject in the English language."—Literary World.
"The distinctive merit of the work is that it is neither economics nor
history.... He has found a new field and devoted his energies to its
exploration.... The chapters on Social Population and on Social
Constitution are among the best in the book. It is here that the
method of Professor Giddings shows itself to the best advantage. The
problems of anthropology and ethnology are also fully and ably
handled. Of the other parts I like best of all the discussion of
tradition and of social choices; on these topics he shows the greatest
originality. I have not the space to take up these or other doctrines
in detail, nor would such work be of much value. A useful book must be
read to be understood."—Professor Simon N. Patten, in Science.
The Elements of Sociology
A Text-Book for Colleges and Schools
8vo, Cloth, $1.10
"It is thoroughly intelligent, independent, suggestive, and manifests an unaffected enthusiasm for social progress, and on the whole a just and sober apprehension of the conditions and essential features of such progress."—Professor H. Sidgwick, in The Economic Journal.
"Of its extreme interest, its suggestiveness, its helpfulness to readers to whom social questions are important, but who have not time or inclination for special study, we can bear sincere and grateful testimony."—New York Times.
"Professor Giddings impresses the reader equally by his independence of judgment and by his thorough mastery of every subject that comes into his view."—The Churchman.
