The Prevention of Poverty or Progressionnl Economy as a System of Natural Law , and Reorm as a Science , by William Voickman , London , Triibner and Co ., 57 and 59 , Ludgate-hill . Mr . Voickman urges that his essay is no
attempt whatever nt thc advocacy of . a " rhapsodical Arcadian" system of life , or of any absurdly levelling scheme of wealth distribution . On the contrary it is one of his objects to show the Heedlessness of such views or schemes , and the sufficiency of naturally economic law for a
diversified well being . He contends that human society , is naturally and de facto a progressional and economical partnership ; so endowed by birth-right , as to be well nigh secure against the possibility , of poverty , if the natural conditions of its endowments be but properly understood
and obeyed . He shows that such " endowed partnership" is not only a provision of well-being for all , it is also the guarantee of that enlightened liberty rind individuality , so enjoyable to each , and so fruitful of general advancement . He asserts " Reform to be a science , & c . " The
author then urges that the individual and State alike are possessed of thrce , birthright , commonwealth endowments , viz : —Intelligence , labour , power , and land . He says "These are thc primary sources of wealth , and are only operative in combined action , any one or two of them being
simply powerless for the securing of well-being . To alienate any ono or more of them from a state or an individual is to reduce such individual or state to starvation or slavery . He then goes on to show that reform as an active principle lies in the necessities ofthe masses . By the application
of the co-operative or partnership princple to profit-division as between employer and employed the interests of capital and labour would become identical , both indeed , would be advanced , and the control of cheapening power ivould be enjoyed by the many , ami not confined , as now , to the few . Thus union would be established
among the masses , for a people thoroughl y united could not fail to secure their every desire . The author concludes with several chapters in which he deals with luxuriousness , starvation , co-operative colonisation , the capitalisation of labour , republicanism , rmd also with the land as a commonwealth , -Src .
The " Little Dressmaker ( No . 7 , Vol . 2 ) , is specially devoted to fashions for children and dolls . A beautifully coloured illustration is given , showing the latest fashions for children ' s and dolls , clothing , with the cut paper patterns . This little work is an invaluable assistant to those who
choose the patterns for their little ones . It is altogether a most useful publication , printed with great care , on line paper , and in which every tletail is rendered with perfect fidelity . The plates are well executed , which makes it a work of art as well as that of fashion . We wish it
every success . " The Penny-a-Week Country Daily Newspaper . " London , 1 x 3 , Strand . This novel little daily is established to supply every rural parish with a daily newspaper friendly to Christianity and good government . It is a marvel of cheapness ; twelve persons
subscribing one penny each per Yveck , may have 12 copies every morning , post-free , thus making the " Country Daily Newspaper" only a penny per week . It is a neat and handy sheet of four pages , of two columns each , and contains all the news up to the hour of publication . It is printed oii good paper , in clear type , " setup " and printed by steam power .
