Excerpt from Trade Unionism Considerable difference of Opinion exists as to the origin Of trade unions. At one time it was confidently stated that trade unions were directly derived from the old guilds of the Middle Ages. This statement was principally based upon the views of Dr. Brentano and particularly upon his work on the history and development of guilds and the origin of trade unions.

Excerpt from Trade Unions The workman's trade union plays so large a part to-day in the industrial and social life of civilised nations that it cannot wisely be overlooked or misunderstood by statesmen, or ignored by that general public by whose goodwill the statesman rules. The very complexities of modem life, placing our daily needs and comforts at the mercy of a multitude of persons, make the trade union so potent for good or ill. A national coal strike by the Miners' Federation sees the price of necessary household fuel rise to prohibitive heights throughout the land, and the temporary stoppage of a multitude of industries. A strike of railwaymen or other transport workers may paralyse all trade for many a day and bring disaster to thousands. Too commonly it is only when a grave labour "crisis" occurs that those who are not members of trade unions give any serious consideration to the existence of these workmen's associations. And the want of understanding is a fruitful cause of delay in the settlement of trade union demands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Faith of a Quaker There arise also the insistent questions which beset all mystics, and which in Quakerism demanded a corporate, instead of an individual, answer. Was the light infallible? Was the claim to it an assumption of spiritual exaltation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.
