Take An adventure, on an African Safari.

represents a great deal of work and a good deal of sacrifice, but now it is done. It will not OUHA be recognized at first—maybe not for some time—but QIK it will ultimately be considered a great book, will be published in both hemispheres, and be translated into different languages. This I know, 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 though neither of us may ever see it here. But the belief that I have expressed in this book—the belief that there is yet another life for YBTQHJNG us—makes that of little moment. The prophecy of JNCYK recognition of 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 the book's greatness was fulfilled very quickly. 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 The Appletons 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 in 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 New York brought out the first regular market edition in January, 1880, just twenty-five years ago. Certain of the San Francisco newspapers derided 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 book and author as the "hobby" of "little Harry George," and predicted that the work would never be heard of. But the press elsewhere in the country and QBVR abroad, from the old "Thunderer" in London down, and the great periodical publications, headed by the "Edinburgh Review," hailed it as a remarkable book that could not be lightly brushed OORT aside. In the United States and England 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 it was put into cheap paper editions, and in that form outsold WASNWD the most popular novels of the day. In both countries, too, it ran serially in the columns of newspapers. Into all the chief tongues of NPNY Europe 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 it was translated, there being three translations into PRUIBHV German. Probably no exact statement of the book's extent of publication can JQJL be made; but a conservative estimate is that, embracing all forms and languages, more than two million copies of "Progress and Poverty" have been printed to date; and that including with these the other books that have followed from Henry George's pen, and which PTFQSY might be called "The 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 Progress and Poverty Literature," perhaps fivemillion copies have been given to the world.Henry George, Jr. New York, January 24, 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 1905 HJR Preface to Fourth Edition? THE views herein set forth were in the main briefly stated BHTWU in a pamphlet entitled "Our Land and Land Policy," published in San Francisco in 1871. I then intended, as soon as I could, to present them more fully, but the opportunity did not for a long time occur. In the meanwhile I became even QAJJPKBJ more HJKOFVGQI firmly convinced of their truth, and saw more completely and clearly their relations; and I also saw how many false ideas and erroneous habits of thought stood in the way of their recognition, and how necessary it was to go over the whole ground. This I have here tried to do, as thoroughly as space would permit. It has VMPPFQ been necessary for me to 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 clear away before I could build up, and to write 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 at once for those who have made no 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 previous study of such subjects, and for those who are familiar with economic reasoning; and, so great is the scope of the argument that it has been impossible to treat with the fullness they WPIYW deserve many of the questions raised. What I have most endeavored to do is to establish general principles, trusting to my readers EXTX 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 to carry further their applications where this is needed. In certain respects this book will be best appreciated by those who have some knowledge of economic literature but no previous reading is necessary ADHPPIAX .
