We believe this work is culturally important and have elected to bring the book back into print as part of our cont...

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Excerpt from The Wages Question: A Treatise on Wages and the Wages Class The term Production of Wealth does not need, for our present purposes, to be defined. Consumption, in the economical sense, is the use of wealth. The actual destruction of wealth thereby may be total or partial, rapid or slow, according to the nature of the material and the object to which it is directed. The Consumption begins when the use begins. About the Publisher ...

Excerpt from Money in Its Relations to Trade and Industry I have seen no reason to modify at any essential point the views of the nature and uses of money which were set forth in that work, and I have not thought it necessary to alter modes of expression merely to avoid the appearance of identity between corresponding portions of the two books. Not only the general progress of Opinion, but the course of public events during the past two year...

Excerpt from Discussions in Education The collection into a volume of the following addresses and papers relating to education is in accordance with the expressed intention of the late President Walker.

Excerpt from History of the Second Army Corps in the Army of the Potomac When, in 1882, after spending much time in collecting materials, I began to work actively and continuously upon the history of the Second Corps, of the five commanders of that illustrious body of troops four were still living, and ready to give me their valuable suggestions and advice. As I write these closing lines, of the five four are dead. Among the prominent staff-o...

Excerpt from First Lessons in Political Economy This book has been prepared for use in High Schools and Academies. In writing its pages, I have been well aware that the object sought is the most difficult at which an economist can aim. Whether this effort to reach the minds of pupils of fifteen, sixteen or seventeen years has been successful, will only be learned on actual trial. In preparing a text-book for students in the period of life in...

Excerpt from An Oration Delivered by Gen'l Francis a Walker: At the Soldiers' Monument Dedication in North Brookfield, Jan, 19, 1870 My Friends: This is peculiarly the Soldiers' Day.
