"As you read on you say, not, 'This is like life,' but, 'This is life.' It has not only the complexion, the very hue, of life, but its movement, its advances, its strange pauses, its seeming reversions to former conditions, and its perpetual change, its apparent isolations, its essential solidarity. It is a world, and you live in it while you read, and long afterward; but at no step have you been betrayed, not because your guide has warned or exhorted you, but because he has been true, and has shown you all things as they are."—W. D. Howells, in Harpers' Monthly."The power of this book lies in the author's supreme control of the influences which affect human action, in his vivid apprehension of the operation of inexorable law, in his intuitive knowledge of the action and reaction of spiritual conditions. With a noble art he throws against the shadow, that deepens ever to the end, a radiant soul development that serenely grows brighter till we know it is Tolstoï himself, his experience, his best. It is a great book, and of such creations the most sincere admiration falls sadly short of fitting expression."—Washington Post."The effect of the whole is stimulating and elevating. The book is certainly one of decided genius."—New York Tribune."It is difficult to speak of this noble book without incurring the suspicion of extravagance."—New York Examiner."Will take rank among the great works of fiction of the age."—Portland Transcript."Characterized by all the breadth and complexity, the insight, and the profound analysis of 'Middlemarch.'"—Critic, New York."It is not undue praise to say that, since the publication of Goethe's 'Elective Affinities,' no such relentless analysis of the human emotions, and of the action and reaction of social relations, has appeared as is shown in Count Tolstoï's novel, 'Anna Karénina.'"—Boston Traveller.

Must take its place as an essential in the education of every one who has heart to feel or desire to comprehend what ground for dissatisfaction really exists."—Orange Chronicle."Deserves the most careful study. No question just now should more profoundly interest the thinking men of all classes."—The Age of Steel."The review of the labor organizations in this country from the year 1800 to 1886 is a masterly presentation, and will justify even a poor man buying the book."—The Beacon."A timely book by an able hand. We heartily commend this book to every thoughtful citizen."—Portland Argus."The work is among the best—we think it is the best—which the perplexing labor question has evoked."—The Interior."Every intelligent reader in the country will find the book most useful."—St. Louis Republican."No one who wishes to understand the problems of labor and capital can afford to be without Professor Ely's work."—Rochester Chronicle."Professor Ely's volume deserves the careful study of manufacturers and employers of labor especially. It deals with well authenticated facts more than theories—a remarkable and timely book."—Boston Traveller."His treatment is broad and comprehensive, dealing with the fundamental questions of the labor movement to the exclusion of such minor and incidental topics as are often prone to intrude themselves into a discussion of this nature."—School Journal."We believe it will have a positive effect in helping to maintain kindly relations between the laborer and his employer."—Troy Times."It is without doubt the most complete historical sketch yet published of the origin and growth both of socialism and of labor organizations."—New York Observer."Heartily commended to the careful attention of all concerned in the labor question, whether employers or employed."—Cleveland Plaindealer.

"Well, well," said Mrs. Partington, her spectacles beaming with delight as she turned over the leaves of the new cookery book, "I declare it excites my salivation glands even to read the names of these good things. It seems as though the greatest epicac might find something among all these meats and cosmetics to give a jest to appetite....
