PICTURES OF THE SOCIALISTICFUTURE

SOME PRESS NOTICES

“Herr Eugene Richter, the Radical member for Hagen in theGerman Imperial Parliament, is, as is well known, a sturdy opponentand acute critic of Socialism. He has embodied his views on thesubject in a little volume freely adapted from Bebel, which has enjoyedimmense popularity in Germany. It has now been skilfully translatedwith the sanction of the author. The volume professes to be a descriptionof the coming socialistic revolution and its results, as described inthe diary of an ardent Socialist, who gradually becomes disillusioned,and finally falls a victim to the counter revolution caused by internalanarchy and foreign invasion.”—Times.

“Herr Richter’s work fairly states what would be the result ofSocialism if men remain as they are now. It is of course open to hisopponents to say that this is altogether an unwarrantable assumption,but if, and when it is made, the book must be pronounced as eminentlyreasonable. As a matter of fact, there could be no other end toSocialism than that which he sets forth.”—Spectator.

“It tells the experiences of an ardent Socialist workman and hisfamily in Berlin during the great coming revolution, and though it isnot directly applicable to English conditions, English readers will findit interesting and suggestive.”—Speaker.

“Socialists will gnash their teeth with exasperation as they read thisbook. Cool and almost invincible logic, and a powerful battery ofstinging satire, is turned on to the Socialist in every page.”—Daylight.

“Deserves to be read by every working man with a stiver to lose, asalso by many well-meaning busybodies that rank considerably higher.”—NationalObserver.

“This is a book which deserves the widest possible circulationthroughout the length and breadth of the land, for it is a powerfulantidote to an insidious political bane.”—Broad Arrow.

“This will be a counter-irritant to the Bellamy remedies for Society,for it depicts the miseries of the socialistic régime and its finaloverthrow.”—Sydney Morning Herald.
