Socialism and war

The six lectures contained in the volume which is herewith offered to the public at large were first delivered at Arlington Hall, New York City, on the six Thursdays beginning with Thursday, November 17, 1914. It was intended from the first that they should not only be delivered orally, but published in book form so as to give them a larger audiene. Owing to some untoward incidents, however, the work of publication was delayed ; so that their appearance in print will occur almost exactly one year after the oral delivery of the first lecture.
