Excerpt from Socialism
In order to facilitate the ready understanding of the divisions used in the book, the following summary is added: The term utopian is used to refer to those people, who at various times, have conceived of creating an idealistic form of government here on earth. For the most part these earthly millenniums have been the idealized expression of some existing type of organization. Thus Plato, in his Republic, idealized the Greek city-state of his day.) Sir Thomas More, in his Utopia, worked out with faultless precision a government based upon a form already in existence. Bellamy, in his Looking Backwards, attempted the same thing for the present age. In general the utopians can be divided into two classes Those who have been content to set forth their ideals in great literary masterpieces, such as More's Utopia, Plato's Re public, and Campanella's City of the Sun and those who have tried by actual experiment to establish an ideal system of government, such as the colonies organized by Robert Owen, William Morris, and many others.
Christian Socialism, as the name implies, is founded upon the teachings of Christ. It is an attempt to apply Christianity to social and economic problems. While the Christian Socialists have never been large numerically yet they have had enrolled in their ranks persons of international repute.

Excerpt from Socialism
The purpose of this book is to give the reader a general knowledge of Socialism. Discussions bearing on technical phases of the question, that form a large part of the Socialistic writings of the day, have been purposely omitted. The volume is one that the busy reader can pick up at odd moments without having to hold in mind from day to day a laborious chain of reasoning. The discussions are popular rather than technical and, in so far as possible, are non-partisan.
To facilitate an easy reading, the leading schools of Socialism are treated separately. Thus the Utopians and the Christians, although having some common beliefs, are each given a section. The followers of Karl Marx, the acknowledged orthodox Socialists, and the disciples of Edward Bernstein, the avowed revisionists, are treated separately.
One feature of the book which will commend itself to the general reader is the extensive bibliography. Nearly two hundred references to some of the best Socialistic writings, both affirmative and negative, have been gathered together, and, in order that the reader will lose no time when using these references, they have been divided into five groups corresponding to the five general divisions into which the book itself is separated. In a word the whole arrangement of the book is admirably suited to the reader who wishes to gain a general knowledge of Socialism, while the extensive reference lists permit the person with time and inclination to carry on extended researches.
