mic Theories of the Leading Thinkers and the Leading Nations. By LEWIS H. HANEY _Cloth, xvii + 567 pp., 8vo, $2.00_ "Dr. Haney's work is both complete and exhaustive without being discursive. We shall look far before finding anything of its kind so satisfying."--_The Argonaut._ "This valuable precis of the world's economic wisdom serves not only as a trustworthy text-book, but also as an authoritative denotement of old economic landmarks. In the light it casts on bygone commercial and political conditions, the rapid progress and impulsive changes in present-day methods of trade and legislation become clearly outlined and intelligible."--_American, Philadelphia._ "The present volume is of suitable compass, and the treatment is such as to make it satisfactory as a text-book."--_The Nation._ "The book should be of value to English readers and students of economics, for unlike French and German economic writers, who have produced several histories of economic thought, only one has been written previously in English, and that is now out of date.

With this purpose in mind the subject-matter has been grouped under the following headings: Part I. The Nature and Import of Sociology; Part II. Social Evolution; Part III. Socialization and Social Control; Part IV. Social Ideals; Part V. Social Pathology; Part VI. Methods of Social Investigation; Part VII. The History of Sociology.
