That doubt will very aoon be abandoned by anyone who takes up Miss Beatrice Potter's luminous and suggestive little volume, contributed to the ' Social Science Series,' and entitled, 'The Co-operative Movement in Great Britain.' Miss Potter writes with a strong social faith; we might, indeed, call it, in a sense, socialistic, if the word were not ambiguous, and, therefore, liable to misconstruction, and apt to create a prejudice. But she writes also with a profound knowledge of the industrial movement of her time, with a clear-sighted capacity to distinguish its essence from its accidence, and with a firm grasp of essential economic principle. Her study of the co-operative movement ' as one form of democratic association?as one aspect of that larger movement towards an Industrial Democracy, which has characterised the history of the British working-class of the 19th century,'? is, therefore, not a mere bald, historical chronicle, but a thoughtful and pregnant study of tendencies, causes, and effects."?The Times.
