A co-founder and the first president of the Scottish Labour Party, he was also a prolific writer, this being his debut work.First published in 1895, this is a new edition of March, 1907.

In the publisher's original full cloth binding. Externally generally smart, with some slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine and the extremities. Ownership bookplate to the front pastedown; pencil inscription to the front endpaper. Internally, firmly bound, with a small strain after the front endpaper to the front hinge, which remains firm. Pages are uncut, and bright and clean with just a little spotting to the first and final leaves. Very Good
