    IMPORTANT NEW WORKS Vol. I. 8vo. 10s. net. PRINCIPLES OF ECONOMICS. By Dr. N. G. Pierson. Translated from the Dutch by A. A. Wotzel. Some Press Notices. ECONOMIC JOURNAL.—“. . . Is very clear and lucid, but at the same time scientific ; it is not written by a mere theorist but by a practical man ; it contains many practical illustra- tions, and finally, it may be an advantage to the English student to read a book which is not written from the English point of view. For these reasons, economic teachers would be well advised to make the experiment of using this work-as a text-book.” NATURE.—“We would especially refer students to the closing chapter of the book on foreign exchanges as of singular excellence, containing, perhaps, the fullest exposition ever given of the various puzzles as to balance of trade, balance of payments, and balance of indebted- ness, as well as those respecting high and low rates of discount, on which so many people make shipwreck. There has been no more complete exposition of the subject. ... A book which ought to be in the hands of every economic student.” TIMES.—“English students will welcome this translation.” MANCHESTER GUARDIAN.—“Beyond question, Dr. Pierson’s masterly treatise will be accorded a permanently high place among economic classics. ... It is both fresh and profound. Altogether it is a weighty, well-pondered, and living piece of work. . . . Everybody who has an interest in economic questions will gain by examining this important, suggestive, and prac- tical treatise, and no foreign work could be read in a more satisfactory translation.” SCOTSMAN.—“Among English students of economics the appearance of a translation of Dr. N. G. Pierson’s much-praised Principles of Economics should be widely and warmly welcomed. . . . The work of translation has been admirably done.” Two Vols. Svo. 25s. net. DEMOCRACY AND THE ORGANISATION OF POLITICAL PARTIES. By M. Ostrogorski. Trans- lated from the French by Frederick Clarke, M.A. With a Preface by the Bight Hon. James Bryce, M.P. Some Press Notices. TIMES.—“One of the best studies of democratic institutions since the appearance of M. de Tocqueville’s classic work. . . . No one can read these volumes without having his mental horizon widened, and without coming to the conclusion that they form one of the most valuable additions to political literature in recent years.” BOOKMAN.—“ The most important accession to political science that we have come upon since Mr. Bryce dealt with American institutions.” DAILY NEWS.—“Whatever else it may be, Mr. Frederick Clarke’s admirable translation of this striking work is a rich mine of facts — such facts as must be mastered by serious students of modern democratic institutions. ... So far as it goes, Democracy and the Organisa- tion of Political Parties appears the most complete and thorough work of its kind in any language.”
