Excerpt from Studies in History Economics and Public Law, 1910, Vol. 38 The importance of population movements in the United States and the occupation of the Public Domain rests in the fact that they have created a condition of successive change; of social unstability; of social, economic and poli tical restlessness; and have carried with them peculiarly vital developments in various phases of American life. No population removal of history, perhaps, has been accom panied by any more marked social phenomena than that be ginning in America at the close of the Revolutionary War and continuing to the present. No movement within the range of modern times has been fraught with greater im port than has this one which transplanted a portion of the roots of a vigorous people on a restricted sea-board to the wilds of a frontier which shortly teemed with life and civilization.

Excerpt from The History of Economics Highly as we may esteem the great Economists of this and other countries, it is essential to remember the character Of the great Economical contests up to the present time. They have been almost entirely destructive. The first Economists found the public mind and the administration infected with an immense mass of rooted prejudices, errors, and abuses. Their first efforts were, therefore, naturally directed to sweep these away; to beat down and abolish false doctrines of all sorts; to extirpate bad and mischievous laws interfering with the natural order of things; to abolish legislative interference with wages, with prices, with the interest of money, and with the commercial intercourse of nations; to establish, in fact, freedom of contract and exchange. And in this Economists Of'all nations are agreed. The repeal of the Corn and Navigation Laws in England may be regarded as the consummation of the destructive era of Economical Science in' this country. We have now arrived at a new and distinct phase of the Science; that, in fact, at which the period Of destruction has ended, and that of construction has come.

Excerpt from The Economic Utilization of History: And Other Economic Studies The contents of this little volume consist in the main of studies which have already appeared in print. All of them have, how ever, been revised, and the greater part of the first two chapters is new. Though the studies have been written for special occa sions during the past four years, they all represent one point of view, and the last nine chapters may be considered an appli cation in the several fields of labor legisla tion, business organization, and charity, of the scientific methods advocated in Chap ters I, II, and III. In order to bring out better this continuity of thought most of the essays have been subdivided, and new titles assigned to them.

Excerpt from History of Economic Thought: A Critical Account of the Origin and Development of the Economic Theories of the Leading Thinkers in the Leading Nations It is the aim of this book to present a critical account of the whole development of economic thought in the leading nations of the Occidental world; and, while keeping the purely economic viewpoint, to indicate some of the most important relations of economic thought with philosophy and environmental conditions. As it is designed to serve as a textbook for the growing number of advanced students who study the history of Economics, every effort has been made to give a fair and well-rounded account of the thought of the leading writers, avoiding the emphasis of some newly discovered point or interesting but obscure writer which would characterize a monograph. Doubtless there will be some difference of opinion about the relative space here devoted to the different economists, and some cases of omission or bare mention will be criticized. It should therefore be stated that a twofold test has been the basis of selection in this regard: first, what has been the writers effect upon the stream of economic thought? next, what important point in theory has he originated or developed? If his contribution has been both discovery, in theory and a profound effect on his contemporaries, then he deserves considerable discussion. These two phases of importance do not necessarily go together, as the experience of Lloyd, Gossen, and others bears witness. In covering so vast a field it has seemed desirable to standardize the method of treatment to some extent.
