” A most thoughtfully considered and valuable treatise.”
Socialism of To-day. By Kmile de Lavei eye.
Translated from the French by Goddard H. Orpen. Including
“ Socialism in England,” hy the Translator. LONDON : Field Sr Tuer,
The Leadenhall Press, E.C. [Six Shillings.
S ocialism v. Individualism is rapidly becoming the most
pressing, as it is the most momentous, question of the day.
An English version of M. de Laveleye’s account and criticism of
European Socialism is therefore a welcome contribution to the
subject. It embraces a lucid statement of the views of Marx and
Lassalle, the founders of German socialism, and a graphic des
cription of the wild theories of Bakunin, the apostle of Nihi
lism. Mr. Orpen has largely added to the importance of the
work by giving the first comprehensive account ever published
of socialism in England. He accurately describes and carefully
criticises the three socialistic movements conducted by the Land
Nationalisers, the Christian Socialists, and the thorough-going
Social Democratic Federation, respectively. The book appears
opportunely at a time when all Europe is astounded at the
electoral victories of the Social Democrats in Germany.
