Excerpt from Immigration: And Its Effects Upon the United States
Mr. Hall's Immigration is the first of a series which the publishers plan gradually to augment until it covers the field of controverted topics in American political, economic and social affairs, in which there is any widespread public interest. Each of the volumes will be devoted to a single and to a definite question; and all, it is hoped, will possess certain desirable characteristics in common. Thus, a history will be given of each question in its political and legislative aspects; all the facts that are available and pertinent in respect to it; and a careful and impartial discussion of the policies that have been advocated for the future. But authors will, of course, be free to adopt any method of treatment that they please, and to uphold or to condemn as they may see fit.
So far as possible, the editor wishes to make the series one of genuine weight and consequence, - not only as books and literature, but as a contribution to national life and welfare. The problems with which the Series will deal are all important; those on the right solution of which much of the nation's greatness and prosperity, and even its existence, may well be said to depend. But such a solution, it is believed, can only be achieved in one way, - by thorough understanding, and by intelligent, thoughtful discussion. And it is to such understanding and discussion that the Series will seek, in as weighty a measure as possible, to contribute.
