Excerpt from Collectivism a Study of Some of the Leading Social Questions of the Day
M. Le Paul Leroy Beaulieu's great reputation as a writer on social subjects is a guarantee of the knowledge and thoroughness with which the subject of this book has been treated.
His statement and explanation of the doctrine is conspicuously fair, his examination of its various forms is exhaustive, and his exposure of the fallacies upon which the claims of collectivism are based is clear and complete.
The translator felt, therefore, that if this work were made available to the British public, it would be of great value in assisting the formation of a sound opinion upon a question of such vital importance to the future of humanity. M. P. Leroy Beaulieu very readily gave his permission for its translation into English. The book, however, is of considerable length, and the cost of publication of a full translation would have greatly restricted the circulation; the translator therefore requested permission to publish an abridgment - a request to which M. P. Leroy Beaulieu very kindly acceded.
Whilst the translator is painfully conscious of the loss arising from curtailment, and of his inability to do justice to the delicate precision of the French language, he ventures to hope that nothing essential to the argument has been omitted.
The translator desires to record his gratitude to M. P. Leroy Beaulieu for the permission so graciously given.
