Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reader's Guide in Economic, Social and Political Science: Being a Classified Bibliography, American, English, French and German, With Descriptive Notes, Author, Title and Subject Index, Courses of Reading, College Courses, Etc When the Society for Political Education was established in 1880, with that devoted apostle of progress, Richard L. Dugdale, as its first Secretary, its field was almost unworked. There seemed to be little interest in the subject in America; books on political economy and allied topics were few and slow of sale; the Society was a pioneer in the renascence which has since developed. One of its first tasks was to acquaint Americans with the literature of its subject, and one of its first publications therefore was the Bibliography (Tract No. 2) in the preparation of which Mr. Dugdale had the co-operation of W. G. Sumner, David A. Wells, W. E. Foster, Geo. Haven Putnam, and others. The progress of ten years is well shown in the present work, in which the bulk of the great editorial labor has been done by my indefatigable associate, George lies, a worthy successor of Richard L. Dugdale, who has been Secretary of the Society during the past two years. The Guide has had the very helpful co-operation of a great number of specialists in most of the specific subjects, and is notably indebted to Professors E. R. A. Seligman, Richmond M. Smith, and F. J. Goodnow, of the University Faculty of Political Science of Columbia College, Worthington C. Ford, Rev. J. G. Brooks, of Cambridge, Mass., and Percival Chubb; to Professors Felix Adler and James Bryce; to Messrs. H. C. Baird, G. H. Baker, F. Bancroft, Geo. W. Cable, D. R. Dewey, D. B. Eaton, B. E. Fernow, David Dudley Field, Rev. R. J. Holaind, S.J., C. H. Kellogg, Gifford Pinchot, Wm. Potts, W. M. F. Round, W. W, Spooner, D. A. Wells, Andrew D. White, Horace White, F .W. Whitridge, and C: F. Wingate, for general or special revision. The present Bibliography is planned on the general lines of cataloguing approved by the American Library Association, and provides in fact, though not in form of page, a department of the "A. L. A. Catalogue." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
