BOOKS EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD READ.

The State: Elements of Historical and Practical Politics.

By WOODROW WILSON, Author of Congressional Government.

This book exhibits the actual organization and administrative practice of the chief modern governments in proper relations with the

practice of governments in the past, and with the general principles of jurisprudence and politics, as these have been developed by historical criticism. Price, $2.00.

The best authorities have been followed and followed intelligently, and the arrangement of details has evidently been elaborated with the most careful industry. The style is clear and there is a cer tain vivacity in the narrative that relieves the dryness of the theme.- The Nation.

Principles of Political Economy. By CHARLES GIDE, Professor of Political Economy in the Uni

versity of Montpellier, France. Translated by E. P. JACOBSEN, formerly of University College, London. With an introduction and notes by JAMES BON AR, LL.D., of London.

Professor Gide has Adam Smith's faculty of making his readers think for themselves, and accept no conclusion without following out the process that leads to it. He lays a just emphasis on the need of impartiality and freedom from preconceptions. In a book written for real students of a subject, the truth should be told without reserve or fear of consequences. Price, $2.00.

Comparative View of Governments.

BY JOHN WENZEL, Assistant Librarian, College of Liberal Arts, Boston University.

This consists of outlines of the four great constitutional governments, -United States, France, England and Germany,-arranged in

parallel columns in such a way that similar topics are grouped together. Price, 15 cts. Sent postpaid on receipt of price.

The American Citizen. BY CHARLES F. DOLE.

PART I treats of the essential elements of all government. II. The main facts about the conduct and methods of our government in town, city, state and nation. III. Treats of labor, capital, wealth and kindred topics. IV. Social subjects, crime and

punishment, charities, intemperance, etc. V. Aims to interest the people in the rights and duties of nations toward each other, and in the question of war and arbitration. Price, 90 cts.

PROF. FRANCIS G. PEABODY, of Harvard College, says: "I should think it most serviceable and important for the work it was meant to do, and it fills a place which, so far as I know, is entirely empty of literature."

Studies in American History. By MARY SHELDON BARNES (formerly Professor of History at Welles

ley College), and Prof. EARL BARNES, of Leland Stanford, Jr., University. Fully illustrated with maps and list of authorities. 430 pages. Half leather. Price, for introduction, $1.12.

Almost all history is written from some partisan standpoint. But the authors of this book, Americans, aim to write an impartial Ameri can History; to show during the Revolution, even, the feelings of British and Tories, who are generally given scant hearing by writers this side the Atlantic. Then, too, in the vexed and perilous days of

slavery and war, they state the sentiments of both sides. Going to the prime sources of history, the annals of the day, they are run

together, making a narrative, perhaps not so thrilling as one that tells our side only, but certainly one that is vastly more beneficial. An

interesting portion of the book is the concluding chapter, where per tinent issues of the day are named as subjects for the consideration of the student. Price, $1.12,

Burke's American Orations. The speeches on American Taxation, 1774; On Conciliation with

America, 1775; and Letter to the Sheriffs of Bristol, 1777. With introduction and notes by A. J. GEORGE, A.M. Price, 60 cts.

" These three pieces are the most perfect manual in all literature for the study of great affairs, whether for the purpose of knowledge or action."-JOHN MORLEY.
