Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Socialism Its Nature, Its Dangers, and Its Remedies Considered
As to the subject matter of this volume it may be pro perly asked how far is it merely translation, how far adaptation, and how much Of original matter does it con tain It would be very difficult to give a precise answer to this question, nor would it help much in the general appreciation Of the volume before the reader. The chief Object has been throughout the following pages to re produce in a readable form the arguments Of the original author intact, and hence translation in a condensed form has been adopted to a great extent in this volume. The same desire has led the presentauthor in some few instances to translate almost literally the words Of the German work, even at the risk Of incurring censure from the critics for using a phraseology bearing the impress Of German modes Of thought and expression. The intel ligent reader will make allowances for this peculiarity, since What he loses in style he will gain in the value Of a faithful translation, where that is most desirable.
