Excerpt from The Modern City and Its Problems IN so far as this volume carries a message it is that the American city lags behind the work it should properly perform. It is negative in its func tions, rather than positive in its services. It has been stripped of power and responsibility. It is politically weak and lacks ideals of its possibilities. It has so little concern for its people that they in turn have little concern for it. We have failed to differentiate between those activities which are pri vate and those which are public. We have failed, too, to provide protection to the individual from in equalities of power and position, and have left him a prey to forces as dangerous to his life and comfort as those against which the police are employed to protect. Further than this, we have failed to shift to society the burdens of industry which the com ing of the city has created. We have permitted the sacrifice of low wages, irregular employment, and disease to be borne by the individual rather than by the community. Those who suffer from these conditions are in reality a vicarious sacrifice; a sacrifice which society has no right to accept.

Excerpt from The Better City: A Sociological Study of a Modern City In the following pages a study has been made of a particular city - the one which the writer knows best - in whose welfare his life is bound up. While discussing the problems of this city, he has had a consciousness that he was discussing the problems of city life in general. For while every city has its own peculiar problems, city life in all its essential features is everywhere the same. The average modern city expresses its highest ideals in terms of greatness: Greater New York, Greater Los Angeles. It is the purpose of this book to concentrate thought upon the ethical ideal - believing that a city may become as noted for its righteousness, its morality, its social virtues, its artistic life, as for its ma terial resources. A better city means a better country. May we each have a part in the building of The Better City. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Modern City Henry Ward Beecher says, that three great ele ments enter into the career of a great citizen, viz., that which his ancestry gives, that which opportunity gives; and that which his will develops. So, if human character is the camera of human development, then civic virtue. Will be just what the genius and Will of the people develop. The proper solution of the many complex problems of modern city life, is the solution of the greatest questions of the century. They are as many and as varied, as are the vices and virtues of mankind. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Modern City Planning and Maintenance A movement of the first importance and of great pro portions is taking place among American cities, which while it has not attracted any very marked degree Of attention on the part of the general public, is yet one which will have lasting consequences of the most beneficial character. This movement, the replanning of cities, has only begun to take shape in this country in the last few years, but already great progress has been made, and plans of the most elaborate and magnificent character have been proposed. The subject is one which is of such importance in the social, aesthetic and practical betterment of cities, that it is of vital interest not only to the city administrator, the engineer and the architect, but also to every citizen who has the advancement of his city's welfare at heart. One of the reasons which has retarded public interest in city planning lies in the fact that there is to be had very little information on the subject in a form generally available. While a considerable literature exists in French and Ger man, principally in German, there is but little in English and what there is consists principally of a few books published of late years in England, having in view the object of adapting German practice to English conditions. The purpose of this volume is to present, in a concise and comprehensive form, the principles of the art of city planning as they have been developed in modern times. The covering of the subject in such a way in a single volume has not before been attempted, so that nowhere else is to be found-the summarization of principles and practice as here presented.

Excerpt from The Great Cities of the Modern World There is a saying, as Old as it is true, that he who would be a writer must first Of all have something to write - something new to tell, or some new or better way of putting forth what is already known. This volume has not been called into existence as some thing new, but because there was not, so far as could be found, any work devoted en titely to a description of the outward appearance and real position of the great cities OF the modern world. A metropolis represents a focus of power; the chief forces of a country's civilization are centered in its great towns; and it has been believed that in giving a description of the large cities of the chief countries of the world, and bringing them together in a classified volume, there will be presented in a condensed form the leading features, not only of the great cities of the world, as a whole, but also of the civic national life of all the important countries of the globe. The endeavor has been to prepare a book instructive and interesting to readers of all ages, but especially to place before young people a clear and, in a measure, complete idea Of the greatest cities of our time, rated according to size, importance in intellectual, commercial, and manu facturing power, and descriptive of population and architectural appearance. In all cases the aim has been to make the leading features - either of a single city or a national group - stand out prominently and leave the strongest impression. To combine all these characteristics into a single volume upon so broad a subject it has been necessary to consult a multitude of authorities; and, although these are far too many for the briefest enumeration. It is but just to acknowledge that valuable aid has been received from the standard encyclopaedias and from nearly all the leading works of reference of both special and general character whose scope comes in any way within that of the Great.

Excerpt from The Soul of London: A Survey of a Modern City Similarly, in touching upon moral ideas, a book about places must be passionate in its attempt after truth Of rendering; it must be passionless in the deduc tions that it draws. It must let neither pity for the poor nor liking for established reputations and clean floors, warp its presentations where they bear, say, upon the Housing Question. Its business is to give a picture of the place as its author sees it; its reader must seek in other books, statistics, emotional views, or facts handy for political propaganda.
