Abstract
THE first of these “little books on great subjects” is considerably shorter than the other two and costs five times as much. But in view of the facts that it will appeal to a much smaller circle of readers, is well bound and is printed on good paper, it cannot be regarded as overpriced; it is rather the others that are extraordinarily cheap.
