Economic Classics.

Professor W. J. Ashley is editing a series of books under the title "Economic Classics." The volumes now ready are those on Adam Smith (select chapters and passages) and Ricardo (first six chapters). There will appear in a few days a volume on Malthus (parallel chapters from the first and second editions). In addition there will be published later volumes from the works of Mun, Child, Turgot, Quesnai, Roscher, and others.

Professor Ashley has sole charge of editing the series. The volumes are neat in appearance and convenient in size. They are being published by Macmillan and Company.
