Synopsis Labour and the Popular Welfare by : W. H. Mallock

This is about the interaction of the Labour Movement, Socialism and the working classes in Great Britain. The author states that " The ultimate end of Government is to secure or provide for the greatest possible number, not indeed happiness, as is often inaccurately said, but the external conditions that make happiness possible." From this point, he builds the rest of his arguments.

Synopsis The «Voyage D'Outremer» by : Bertrandon de La Brocquière

De la Broquière set off for the Holy Land in 1432 for the purpose of spying out the possibilities of a new crusade to be led by the Duke of Burgundy. He returned overland, through the Turkish Empire, alone. His observations of the land, the people, the rulers, the food and the customs make fascinating reading. There is also a long section on the organization and tactics of the Ottoman Army, and the ways that the Europeans can use to defeat it. De la Broquière is a highly competent spy and a very observant tourist.
