”  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  description ­
  of  the  wild  theories  of  Bakunin,  the  apostle  of  Nihilism. ­
  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.
