Excerpt from Natural Law in the Business World IN presenting this little volume to the public, the writer makes no claim to any new dis coveries, or original theories in the domain of Political Economy; -nor has he any ambition to enter into philosophical or theoretical specula tions. An honest effort to trace out the work ing and application of Natural Law, as it runs through the economic and social fabric, in a plain and simple; though it is hoped practical manner; is all that is attempted. Economic works by theorists and special ists have been multiplied to such an extent, that it seems almost presumptuous for one who has had only a practical business training to venture into a field already so thoroughly ex plored. It is, however, the belief of the writer, that in a great majority of recent works, the sure, continuous, and unerring operation of certain fixed principles, and their resultant effects, has been greatly overlooked or ignored, and sentimental and impractical theories have been substituted for them, 'such a variety of new plans, radical changes, and reforms have been proposed, in order to improve existing conditions, that the world must be re-made in order to give them an op portunity to be tried.
