About This Item
New York: The Macmillan Company, 1903. Book. Fair. Hardcover. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. "Prof. Patten's little book, which he modestly calls an essay, abounds in bold speculation and startling conclusions. Were it conveyed in some other form than that peculiar language of evolution, so clear and satisfactory to the evolutionary student, but so repellent to the ordinary untrained reader, the book would make a veritable sensation." - New York Times, 4 April 1903. "How is the social surplus transformed into permanent conditions and mental traits? An answer will be given in the following pages, or at least an endeavor will be made to throw some light on it." - page 5. Simon Patten [1852-1922] was chair of the Wharton School of Business. Pp. vii, 214. 19 x 13 cm. Former library copy with usual markings and wear, firmly rebound in green buckram. A worthy reference copy. Batson p.152..
