I may specially mention a small volume by Mr.G.Wilshire of New York--a leading publisher and disseminator of socialistic literature--which was devoted to examining my own arguments seriatim.

To the principal criticisms of this writer allusions will be found in the following pages.

Most of my socialistic opponents (though to this rule there were amusing exceptions) wrote, according to their varying degrees of intelligence and education, with remarkable candour, and also with great courtesy.

Mr.Wilshire, in particular, whilst seeking to refute my arguments as a whole, admitted the force of many of them; and did his best, in his elaborate _resume_ of them, to state them all fairly.
The contentions, and even the phraseology of socialists are in all countries (with the possible exception of Russia) identical.

All are vitiated by the same distinctive errors, and it is indifferent whether, for purposes of detail criticism, we go to speakers and writers in this country or America.
