Some Publications. (1907)

From the April 1907 issue of the Socialist Standard

Messrs. Watts & Co. are issuing, as one of the R.P.A. Cheap Reprints, Mr. Dennis Hird’s “An Easy Outline of Evolution,” which has passed through a large edition in a more expensive form. They are also issuing the popular edition of Professor Haeckel’s “The Evolution of Man,” complete in a shilling volume with stout paper covers. It consists of nearly 400 double-column, well-printed pages, and has more than 400 excellent illustrations—truly a remarkable publication at the low price mentioned.

Some publications. (1906)

From the November 1906 issue of the Socialist Standard

Messrs. Watts inform us they are publishing as a sixpenny reprint Hume’s “Human Understanding” and “Principles of Morals.” Also in the R.P.A. Extra Series Mr. Chilperic Edwards’s version of the Hammurabi Code under the title of “The Oldest Laws in the World.” Another sixpenny deals with “Socialism: its Fallacies and Dangers,” and is contributed to by some of the ablest writers in the Individualist Movement. We do not know who these “ablest writers” will turn out to be, but we are sure their views of the “Fallacies and Dangers” of Socialism will be interesting. These latter seem to comprise one of the principal dishes in the literary menu of those who, we suppose, would fain secure recognition as able—if not the ablest—writers in the individualist movement, but we confess that the result of the effort to combat the arguments which the exponents of Socialism have at command have not perturbed us hitherto. We trust that they will not serve us up a rehash of the ancient mixture with which we are so familiar. Enough is as good as a feast.
