Labour and Capital. Edited, with an Introduction, by John P.

Peters, D.D. (G. P. Putnam's Sons. 6s.)—Dr. Peters has collected a number of letters, essays, and statements in various forms, dealing with great economical questions of the day. Both sides are heard ; it does not come within the reviewer's function even to hint at any judgment. It may be observed, however, that a little more civility of language would have been welcome. It is not of much use to invite to a symposium a gentleman who begins by telling us that our "industrial system is based upon intimidation, violence, and legalised theft." Dr. Peters should habe put back this contribution for amendment.
