=PRESS NOTICES.=

"This is an admirable book that may be read by everybody with
advantage."--_Sunday Special._

"It is clearly the thinking of a man who has personally grappled with
the grave questions of his time, and who sees the light beyond, to which
he would lead all men."--_Echo_ (London).

"The book forms an appropriate addition to the Social Science Series, in
which it appears."--_Scotsman._

"A work of ripe thought, full of interest to all to whom the question of
the people of England is vital."--_New Age_ (London).

"Earnest and instructive."--_Literary Guide._

"Mr. Berens treats of ethics and economics from the standpoint of one
who wishes to see the evolution of a social system on the basis of the
golden rule of righteousness, the law of equal freedom."--_Nottingham
Guardian._

"'Toward the Light' is a volume for all students of present day politics
and economics."--_Co-operative News._

"A volume which will be welcomed as an honest and tolerant attempt to
humanise economics, and to point the way to a freer, worthier
life."--_Young Oxford._

"A book to be read by all enthusiastic social reformers; in fact, they
cannot afford to be without it."--_Echo_ (London).

"Mr. Berens' book is one which, by reason of its sincerity and its
fair-minded discussion of a great problem, we should read, mark, learn,
and inwardly digest.... It seems to me the ablest and most effective
work in support of the Taxation of Land Values that has appeared since
the death of Henry George."--_Public_ (Chicago, U.S.A.).

"Those who are uncertain about various knotty points in Political
Economy will find their perplexities stated and explained, in simple and
lucid illustration and argument."--_Single Tax Review_ (New York,
