PUBLISHEES' NOTE.

THE literary reputation and the high social and political rank of the Duke of Argyll have attracted unusual atten- tion to his arraignment of Henry George's doctrine as to property in land. Mr. George has made a vigorous and aggressive reply, which is here given in juxtaposition with the Duke's attack. This passage-at-arms triply challenges attention because of the burning interest in the question itself at present, the representative character of the dis- putants, and the dialectic skill with which the controversy is conducted.
