Progress and Poverty: an Inquiry into the Cause of Industrial Depressions and of Increase of Want with Increase of Wealth: the Remedy, N. York, 1880, 8vo; Lon., 1881; new ed., 1884.

"Mr. George endeavors to show that the cause, or principal cause, of poverty and wretchedness in the midst of wealth and abundance in the world is the private ownerfrom the many a rental for the use of something which is ship of land, whereby a few persons are enabled to exact limited in quantity and indispensable to the human race. Although we have to consider Mr. George's positions essentially unsound, we find many admirable passages, style is for the most part engaging, and often eloquent. and a notable spirit of candor pervading his work. The So far from being a work of communistic tendencies, the reader will find in it arguments to overthrow nearly all the communist theories of the present day."-Nation, xxxi. 65, 117.

"This is Progress and Poverty' over again, with less argument and more passion, less political economy and more tirade and bombast. We do not underestimate the evils which Mr. George depicts, but his remedy for them is as worthless and futile as it would be atrocious if it he advocates woman suffrage, and frankly avows socialistic could be carried into execution... In his present work views. ... Mixed up with all his absurdities there are dashes of sturdy good sense in all Mr. George's writings.

Barring a few slight blemishes of diction, ('will' for shall,' etc..) his style is in every respect admirable. His method of developing a subject greatly resembles that of Herbert Spencer; but Mr. George's style is fresher and more brilliant."-Nation. xxxviii. 237, and xxxix. 294.

"Throughout his book there runs a vein of cheerful optimism; of the cynicism and scepticism which mark so many of the revolutionary class there is scarcely a trace. Nor can we agree with those who think that Mr. George's idea, which here reappears, of the nationalization of and by the confiscation of rent, is a dangerous one. In a country like ours such a proposal is so extravagant and unpractical that it may be dismissed as harmless. The Mr. George may hide from us the valuable truths or sugreal danger seems to be . . . that the colossal blunder of gestions of truth that may undoubtedly be found in the book."-Acad.. xxv. 87.

"Mr. George is the master of a clear and vigorous style, and although he looks almost exclusively at the darker side of things, although his denunciations of modern society are unduly severe, his facts often unfairly stated, and his deductions generally absurd, many of his observations are not without warrant; and it is perhaps well that we should be reminded, even in overstrained language, that our soproblems are pressing for solution."-Spectator, lvii. 923. cial system is not perfect, and that some momentous social

"The most interesting parts of his book are the chapters in which he explains where the real strength of protection lies; it is in the assumption that the getting of work, not the getting of the result of work,' is the end to which idea he discusses the matter in a way that is both fresh and national policy should be directed. In following out this suggestive."-Ath., No. 3065.
