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written previously in English, and that is now out of date. Dr. Haney
has made a distinct contribution to economic literature and one
reflecting credit on American scholarship."--_The Boston Transcript._

In this volume not only the theoretical phases of sociology are treated
with some degree of completeness, but the practical bearings of the
science are also brought out in a series of chapters dealing with social
pathology and methods of social investigation. This survey of the whole
field, including both the theoretical and the so-called "practical,"
finds its justification in the unity it gives to sociology in the mind
of the beginner. It prevents that vicious one-sidedness sometimes
resulting from a study of one phase of a subject before a general survey
has been made. 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. It
has been the endeavor of the authors to bring togethe
