Mr. Wilson's Essay in Book Form

THERE is little occasion to talk about the contents of a book of slender physical proportions when it may be read in the first two pages of this issue of the Atlantic. But the fact that, simultaneously with the appearance of the August number, the Atlantic Monthly Press is bringing out Mr. Wilson’s brief essay. The Road away from Revolution, between covers of its own is a fact well worth mentioning. The significance of its message — the first that Mr. Wilson has delivered since his retirement to private life— will speak for itself. The bibliographer will enter the small volume in the long list of Mr. Wilson’s writings published in book form; and a multitude of readers concerned with social conditions and human progress will want to give it that permanence as a possession which no issue of a magazine can possibly achieve.

To this end the Press is coöperating with much satisfaction.
