Practicable Socialism, New Series

The first edition of Practicable Socialism was printed in 1888, the second in 1894.

But so to do would not have been in harmony with our feelings. My husband counted the sin of numbering the people as due to a debased moral outlook, and the contemplation of results as tending to hinder nobler efforts after that which is deeper than can be calculated. Of him it is truthful to quote His souls wings never furled. The papers have been grouped in subject sections, and though the ideas have for many years been set forth by him in various publications, in most instances the writings here reproduced are under six years old.
