This book attempts to make a really interesting, simple and suggestive introduction to industrial and economic history. It is intended to induce our young men and women of all classes to study earnestly this important subject, which has, up to the present, been impossible, because the text-books are too expensive or else too learned and academic.
_Contents_: Part I. THE MANORIAL SYSTEM. Part II. TOWNS AND GUILDS. Part III. STATE REGULATION AND THE MERCANTILE SYSTEM. Part IV. THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION.

It is suggested that this volume may be of considerable assistance not only to students using the ordinary text-books, but also to those whose work is based on some such series as Messrs. Bell's +English History Source Books+. The author's object has been to produce a volume that will be an aid to, and not a substitute for, reading, and it is hoped that it may be of value as giving a summary of important events and a review of national development.

Among the topics dealt with in this brilliant and most original study are: Greek morality, a general view; the morality of the Cosmopolitan Age, of the Roman Republic, and Empire; some aspects of the Middle Ages; theory and practice, 1265-1600; the psychological problems of modern life and the political and religious aspects of conduct.
"The book will be found helpful to any one who takes an intelligent interest in the subjects which it treats. The author has read widely and grasped what he has read; he does not aim at originality, but he succeeds in being essentially fairminded, and his summary, which gives the kernel of many authorities, will be of real use as an introduction both to politics and ethics separately, but more particularly in their relations to each other."--_Cambridge Review._
A SKETCH OF THE GROWTH OF THE CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION
AUTHOR OF "A MODERN HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE"
A most valuable contribution to a much-neglected side of constitutional development--that of the organs of central government, with special emphasis on their wonderful expansion during the last one hundred years. An invaluable book for the advanced student.
