Excerpt from A Critical History of Modern English Jurisprudence: A Study in Logic, Politics, and Morality A limited edition of this little work has been printed, with a view of submitting it to friends of the author, and others, who, he may have reason to suppose, are inter ested in political science. But in submitting it even to this limited class of readers, the author is painfully con scious, from experience, that both the subject of the work, and the method in which it is treated stand in need of apology. In regard to the subject, - which is Jurisprudence, its study in England and this country, within the last fifty years, has fallen into almost entire neglect; and there is now no subject more generally unpopular. The general reader regards it as belonging peculiarly to the province of the lawyer, and the lawyer, in general, as a study of no practical utility, and, with which, consequently, he has no concern. And the few who are addicted to philoso phy, turning to the works of the modern English jurists, find there something which bears no resemblance to real Jurisprudence, but which has usurped its place, and even its name.

Excerpt from The Historical Method in Ethics and Other Essays The papers here brought together are all that remains of the work of one of the acutest and most thoughtful of the younger generation of philosophical teachers. Their author fell in the war, being one of those who counted his life a little thing to give in so great a cause. He was thirty-three when he died, and he had pub lished next to nothing in his lifetime. These three essays were found in their present form among his papers. The first and longest was clearly intended for publication, either by itself or as part of a larger work on ethics; the other two bore traces of having been originally prepared for some Philosophical Society, but both would have been sent as articles to the philosophical reviews by any one with a less exacting standard of work than Handyside. The three are now published together, both for their own intrinsic value and as a tribute to his memory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Over its lifetime, 'political economy' has had different meanings. This handbook views political economy as a synthesis of the various strands of social science, treating it as the methodology of economics applied to the analysis of political behaviour and institutions.

Excerpt from Essays in Jurisprudence and Ethics The substance of the following Essays has appeared in divers journals and reviews in the course of the last seven years. My first duty is to return my best thanks to the proprietors and editors of those publica tions for the consent they have freely given to the present reproduction. Some additions and rearrange ments have been made, and a few passages have been worked in from articles on kindred subjects which for one or another reason did not seem worth reprinting separately. No unity of design will be expected in a work thus composed of occasional pieces; but I hope that so much unity of purpose and ideas may nevertheless be found in it as will give it a certain measure of coherence. The essays fall into two divisions, in the first of which legal topics predominate, in the second ethical. In' the first it has been my aim to consider legal ideas and institutions as affected by or affecting the wider interests of history, politics, and practical legislation. In the second I have endeavoured to bring to a better defined issue certain points of ethi cal discussion by the help of distinctions founded on familiar legal conceptions, and by specifically applying those conceptions and distinctions to admitted facts.
