ècole libre des sciences politiques in his course on "Systèmes généraux d'impots," and also some of the same material to be found in his article entitled "Impot" in M. Lèon Say's new French "Dictionary of Political Economy." The book is divided into an introduction and three parts, which treat respectively of the history of writings on taxation, definition, and incidence of taxation; Utopian systems, existing systems, and systems capable of application; and the great fiscal divisions of existing systems.

Contemporary socialistic literature has received a contribution in a brochure by Louis Strauss, entitled "L'extension universitaire de Bruxelles-Les doctrines sociales au xixe siècle. Critique du cours de M. van der Velde." (Antwerp: Jos. Themis, 1893). This is a criticism of a University Extension course given by M. van der Velde in which he discussed social doctrines under such headings as "Political Economy," "Christian Socialism,” “Historical School,” “Collectivism," "Anarchism." Mr. Strauss discusses from the liberalist point of view the utterances of Professor van der Velde, which are socialistic in their tendency.

"Essais. et études," par Émile de Laveleye. (Pp. 412. Première Série, 1861-1875. Paris et Gand, 1894). This collection and reprint of essays already published in various reviews and journals will be warmly appreciated by the numerous friends of Professor de Laveleye in all countries. Changed methods in scientific study have almost done away with the brilliant essayist of a half century ago who was able to range over a wide field of subjects, treating each with a measure of completeness and a fineness of finish that varied with the essayist's general mental vigor rather than with his special knowledge. Professor de Laveleye may be considered as a connecting link between the two régimes. He was a trained and able economist, and yet it was in his brilliant contributions to reviews and magazines that he was best known. Although he left many notes that he had been collecting for a number of years previous to his death, with the intention of writing a large work on political economy, his literary executors have decided that these are not in shape worthy of publication, and have undertaken to place in convenient and permanent form some of his essays already published in widely separated journals. The first volume contains essays arranged chronologically and covering the period 1861-1875. A list of their titles will show at once the breadth of subject-matter covered, and the names of the reviews or magazines where they were originally published may enable the reader of this notice to find those that interest him even without access to the volume containing the collection. Some of the essays form important contributions to the subject treated, and all of them are excellent reading. Professor de Laveleye

already made two similar collections during his lifetime. One published in 1863 entitled, "Questions contemporaines" (essays covering period 1856-60), and the second published in 1869 entitled "Études et essais." Had he personally superintended the publication of this volume he would have doubtless made some changes in the text of the articles as originally published, but his editors have wisely decided to reprint without any alterations. They also promise us one or two forthcoming volumes which are to contain his principal essays from 1875 until the present day. The subjects of the essays in the present volume are:

I. "Le dictionnaire rationel de de Potter." (Revue trimestrielle de Bruxelles, October 1861.)

2. "Le mouvement littéraire en France depuis 1830." (Revue trimestrielle de Bruxelles, January, 1862.)
