Excerpt from Syndicalism: A Critical Examination Even in the dreaded weapon of Syndicalism, the strike, we find nothing but the ancient weapon of British trade unionism.

They can lay down their tools. It is, therefore, not by a servile mpying, but it is a proo...

Excerpt from National Defence: A Study in Militarism I have tried in this book to prove that militarism of an unlimited kind is a necessary consequence of the political policy which European States have been pursuing hitherto.

Excerpt from The Government of India This book was written in all its substantial parts before the Government took steps to meet the conditions which the war had created in India. I venture to publish it, however, because it indicates a different point of view from that which appears to be animating the Government, though in some respects their practical proposals do not materially difier from mine, but also - and this is the chief reason - b...

Excerpt from A Key to the Book of Revelation In offering to the public another edition of the present work, I feel called upon to express my gratitude for the approbation with which it has been met, which has been far more general and decided than I, as a new writer, on a very difficult subject, had any reason to expect. Persons of different religious denominations, and many of them entire strangers to me, and to whom I must have been wholly ...
