original work Professor Nicholson has brought his
subject up to date. He is a believer in the idea that
an agreement or compromise is not impossible between
the extreme advocates of monometallism and the
more reasonable bimetallists, and he sets forth his
views clearly and intelligently.

TENANT'S GAIN NOT LANDLORD'S LOSS;

AND OTHER ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF THE LAND QUESTION.

BY J. SHIELD NICHOLSON, M.A.,

Professor of Political Economy in the University of Edinburgh ;
late Scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge.

One Volume, crown 8vo. Price 5s.

"Fair rent and fixity of tenure, the crofter question and the nationalisation of land, the effect of appreciation of gold on future rents, and the general principles aimed at by all schools of land reformers, are among the topics dealt with by Professor Nicholson, with grasp of detail and originality of treatment as refreshing as they are unusual.......A chapter on Ricardo's theory of rent is by far the best criticism of that doctrine with which we are acquainted.......Similar novelties of treatment abound throughout his excellent little book, which can be recommended to all interested in the land question."-Athenæum.

"Assuredly no apology is needed for the publication of this little book, which, though small in size, contains much useful matter."-- Westminster Review.

"This is a well-timed and clever book."-Scotsman.

"A careful and well-considered examination of the question."-Morning Post.

"He has brought to bear on some of the practical problems of political economy a fresh and vigorous intellect, acute observation, and firm logical grasp."-British Quarterly Review.

"Professor Nicholson's "Tenant's Gain not Landlord's Loss' deals specially with the existing situation in England, and, as the title indicates, mainly with the differences between landlords and tenants; but he travels in the course of his little book over most of the important economic aspects of the land question. He is well-informed, judicious, discriminating, and throws out many valuable suggestions."-Contemporary Review.
