The best exposition of the Socialist idea.
Also a popular Edition in stiff Paper Covers at 1/- net.
_The Daily News_ says:--"Mr. Wells puts his case in a sane, practical manner which should show the opponents of Socialism that they are not dealing with dreamers or fanatics, but have a reasoned view of society which they must confront with reason and with an alternative."
_The Pall Mall Gazette_ says:--"The charm of Mr. Wells' style makes the reading of any work he produces a pleasure, and the sanity of his thinking prevents the warmth of his feelings leading him into those excesses which are too commonly indulged in by writers on both sides of the socialistic question."
_The Westminster Gazette_ says:--"We have seldom read a book from which an honest reader could get a more wholesome moral stimulus than 'New Worlds for Old.'"
_The Daily Telegraph_ says:--"'New Worlds for Old' contains much that must give any intelligent thinker pause. As a piece of socio-political journalism it invites the attention of every citizen in the nation."
_The Christian World_ says:--"Apart from its literary charm, this book should be read by English people if only to dissipate the singular notions concerning Socialism which are current amongst many of them. Brimful of ideas and suggestions, fascinating in its style, with not a dull sentence in it, this book, by one of the acutest minds in England to-day, on the question which looms beyond all others in interest and importance, cannot but compel the attention of thoughtful men of all schools, whatever their attitude towards its conclusions."
