In the series of " Social Questions of To-day "
(Methuen and Co.), we have Trusts, Pools, and Corners, by J. Stephens Jeans. Mr. J. S. Jeans assumes an independent attitude with regard to the questions which he treats. He does not consider himself called upon to pronounce any definite approval or condemnation of the Trust system generally. He gives us, indeed, to understand that any such definite approval or condemnation would bo a mis- take. The system has its good side and its bad. On the whole, we may trust, our author thinks, that the evils will in time correct themselves. Meanwhile, we have some interesting information about the efforts which have been made in this direction, and some curious parallels from history.—In the somewhat similar "Social Science Series" (Swan Sonnenschein and Co.) we have The Tyranny. of Socialism, by Yves Guyot, edited, with Introduction, by J. H. Levy. Mr. Levy gives a sketch of the author's career and work, and indicates the points on which he differs from him.
