LIBERTY
BENJ. R. TUCKER, Editor
An Anarchistic journal, expounding the doctrine that in Equal Liberty is to be found the most satisfactory solution of social questions, and that majority rule, or democracy, equally with monarchical rule, is a denial of Equal Liberty.
APPRECIATIONS
G. BERNARD SHAW, author of “Man and Superman“:
“Liberty is a lively paper, in which the usual proportions of a half-pennyworth of discussion to an intolerable deal of balderdash are reversed.”
ERNEST H. CROSBY, author of “Captain Jinks, Hero“:
“In these days of running after false gods, it is refreshing to find one American remaining unflinchingly true to Liberty, and using in her defence not his emotions, but a peculiarly keen and vigorous intellect and style.”
JOHN COTTON DANA, Librarian of the Free Public Library, Newark, N.J.:
“Liberty is good for your intellectuals, being full of plain, hard thinking.”
HENRY BOOL, merchant, manufacturer, farmer, dairyman, and florist, Ithaca, N. Y.:
“Pursuing its policy of equal liberty with consummate ability and unswerving purpose, Liberty is the unrivaled exponent of Absolute Free Trade.”
SAMUEL W. COOPER, counsellor at law, Philadelphia:
“Liberty is a journal that Thomas Jefferson would have loved.”
EDWARD OSGOOD BROWN, Judge of the Illinois Circuit Court:
“I have seen much in Liberty that I agreed with, and much that I disagreed with, but I never saw any cant, hypocrisy, or insincerity in it, which makes it an almost unique publication.”

MODERN MARRIAGE
BY
Emile Zola
TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH BY
BENJ. R. TUCKER
In this story Zola takes four typical marriages,—one from the nobility, one from the bourgeoisie, one from the petite bourgeoisie, and one from the working people,—and describes, with all the power of his wondrous art, how each originates, by what motive each is inspired, how each is consummated, and how each results.
A new edition from new plates, and at a reduced price.

CARLOTTA CORTINA

FRANCIS DU BOSQUE
A very remarkable story of New York’s Italian quarter,—in fact, one of the best short stories ever written in America.

Here’s Luck to Lora
AND
OTHER POEMS
BY
WILLIAM WALSTEIN GORDAK
Mr. Gordak comes entirely unannounced, but his verse speaks well for him. He is a natural poet who writes evenly and melodiously of the beauties of nature and the daintier side of love. Nothing in his little book is cheap. His muse has a lofty flight, and his teachings uplift.—Oregonian, Portland, Ore.

The Anarchists
A Picture of Civilization at the Close of the Nineteenth Century
BY
JOHN HENRY MACKAY
Translated from the German by
GEORGE SCHUMM
PRESS COMMENTS
New York Morning Journal.—”‘The Anarchists’ is one of the very few books that have a right to live. For insight into life and manners, for dramatic strength, for incisiveness of phrase, and for cold, pitiless logic, no book of this generation equals it.”
St. Louis Republic.—”The book is a prose poem.”

The Philosophy of Egoism
BY
JAMES L. WALKER
(Tak Kak)
My nose I’ve used for smelling, and I’ve blown it:
But how to prove the RIGHT by which I own it?
Schiller, freely translated
“No more concise exposition of the philosophy of Egoism has ever been given to the world. In this book Duty, Conscience, Moralism, Right, and all the fetiches and superstitions which have infested the human intellect since man ceased to walk on four feet, are annihilated, swept away, relegated to the rubbish heap of the waste of human intelligence that has gone on through the progress of the race from its infancy.”—Liberty.
Cloth, 75 cents; Paper, 35 cents
Slaves to Duty
BY
JOHN BADCOCK, JR.
Assailing the morality superstition as the foundation of the various schemes for the exploitation of mankind. Max Stirner himself does not expound the doctrine of Egoism in bolder fashion.

The Attitude of Anarchism
TOWARD
Industrial Combinations
BY
BENJ. R. TUCKER
An address delivered in Central Music Hall, Chicago, on September 14, 1899, before the Conference on Trusts held under the auspices of the Civic Federation.
Chicago Chronicle.—”The speech which roused the most intense degree of enthusiasm and called forth the greatest applause at yesterday’s sessions of the trust conference fell in rounded periods and with polished utterance from the lips of a professed Anarchist.”
Prof. Edward W. Bemis in the New York Journal.—”Benj. R. Tucker, the famous Anarchist writer, gave the most brilliant literary effort of the conference thus far.”
Prof. John R. Commons in the Chicago Tribune.—”The most brilliant piece of pure logic that has yet been heard. It probably cannot be equaled. It was a marvel of audacity and cogency. The prolonged applause which followed was a magnificent tribute to pure intellect. That the undiluted doctrines of Anarchism should so transport a great gathering of all classes here in Chicago would not have been predicted.”

MUTUAL BANKING

CHARLES A. DANA’S
PLEA FOR ANARCHY
Proudhon
and
His “Bank of the People”
BY
CHARLES A. DANA
A defence of the great French Anarchist; showing the evils of a specie currency, and that interest on capital can and ought to be abolished by a system of free and mutual banking.
The series of newspaper articles composing this pamphlet appeared originally in the New York “Tribune,” of which Mr. Dana was then managing editor, and a little later in “The Spirit of the Age,” a weekly paper published in New York in 1849 by Fowlers & Wells and edited by Rev. William Henry Channing. Editor Channing accompanied the publication of the series by a foot-note, in which he stated that the articles had already appeared in the “Tribune,” but that “Mr. Dana, judging them worthy of being preserved in a form convenient for binding, has consented to revise them for our paper.”

The Ballad of Reading Gaol
By C. 3. 3
[OSCAR WILDE]

Cloth, One Dollar; Paper, Ten Cents
The cloth edition has covers of blue and vellum, and is beautifully printed from large type on hand-made antique deckle-edge paper. It is a sumptuous book of 96 pages, and should be in every library.
PRESS COMMENTS
Albany Press.—”Strong writing, almost too strong; it is horrible, gruesome, uncanny, and yet most fascinating and highly ethical…. One of the greatest poems of the century, a permanent addition to English literature…. It is the best Lenten and Easter sermon of the year.”
Brooklyn Citizen.—”Many of the stanzas are cries out of the lowest hell. The poem, indeed, takes rank with the most extraordinary psychological phenomena of this or any time.”
Indianapolis Journal.—”The work is one of singular power, holding the reader fascinated to the last line. Nothing approaching it in strength has been produced in recent years.”
Philadelphia Conservator.—”People who imagine themselves superior to the prisoners in jails should read this poem. People who love invasive laws should read this poem. People who think existing governmental methods of meeting social invasion civilized should read this poem. People who do not know that laws may make as well as punish crime should read this poem. In fact, everybody should read this poem. For somewhere it touches everybody, accuses everybody, appeals to everybody.”
