McCarthy, Justin. Portraits of the Sixties. London: Unwin, 1903. Contents: The early sixties; Charles Dickens; W. M. Thackeray; Thomas Carlyle--Alfred Tennyson; Richard Owen--The brothers Newman; Richard Cobden; John Bright; Sir Stafford Northcote; A parlimentary group; Another parlimentary group; From commons to lords; "Crownless sovereignties;" Sir Richard and Lady Burton; Two philanthropists; Ruskin and the pre-Raphaelites; John Arthur Roebuck; Italy's English sympathisers; Stars that rose in the sixties; Lord Clarence Paget--Thorold Rogers; Goldwin Smith; The Keeleys, Robson, and Webster; The Bancrofts; Three queens of song; Three stage graces; Some queens of society; Last words. The work includes many portraits of those mentioned. The work is written as a personal account of the time period and people discussed. McCarthy uses a collection of photographs taken from the Sixties and characteristic of the epoch as a basis for organizing the work. These portraits "do not profess to be anything like a complete gallery of pictures of the eminent men and women who were conspicuous figures of English life thoughout those years." The author has chosen to portray the Sixties since they "constitute an epoch of great change in almost every department of England's public and social life, and many of the changes which are still only in process of develpment owed their beginning to some of the men and women whose portraits I offer to the public, around which I have intertwined recollections of my own" (480-1).

This work contains seven Socialist lectures which were given at various times. Two of these lectures were previously printed as pamphlets, three had previously appeared in the Socialist weekly The Commonweal, and two are printed here for the first time. Morris apologizes for any repetition among the lectures since the very nature of the audiences requires that "certain elementary propositions--such, e.g., as the encessity for the abolition of monompoly in the means of production" will be stated in each lecture. Morris feels that his lectures give a different perspective on Socialism since Morris himself is neither "a professional economist nor a professional politician." PRB-35

Morris opens his essay on medieval ornamented manuscripts by noting that the two most important productions of art are first the beautiful house and then the beautiful book. "To enjoy good houses and good books in self respect and decent comfort, seems to me to be the pleasurable end towards which all societies of human beings ought now to struggle." Morris then continues with his discussion of the production of medieval ornamented manuscripts.

--- and E. Belfort Bax. Socialism, Its Growth and Outcome. London: Sonnenschein; New York: Scribner's, 1893. Large paper edition. "Only two-hundred and seventy-five copies printed . . . of which this is no. 190." Morris and Bax explain in the Preface that they are not duplicating the information found in various pamphlets, but instead are giving an historical approach to the subject, even though this is "a less exciting method than the building up of �practical' Utopias, or than attempting the solution of political problems within the immediate purview of the Socialist struggle of to-day." The authors trace the development of society from antiquity to the present, ending with "what may be reasonably expected from the new society when it has at last supplanted the ever-increasing confusion of the present day" (17).

The ASU Library acknowledges the twenty-three Native Nations that have inhabited this land for centuries. Arizona State University's four campuses are located in the Salt River Valley on ancestral territories of Indigenous peoples, including the Akimel O’odham (Pima) and Pee Posh (Maricopa) Indian Communities, whose care and keeping of these lands allows us to be here today. ASU Library acknowledges the sovereignty of these nations and seeks to foster an environment of success and possibility for Native American students and patrons. We are advocates for the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge systems and research methodologies within contemporary library practice. ASU Library welcomes members of the Akimel O’odham and Pee Posh, and all Native nations to the Library.
