Prospectus pamphlet advertising three volumes for sale from John A. Norton, publisher and bookseller of "Law and Miscellaneous" titles. Henry C. Carey, 19th century political economist, was responsible for influencing the early Republican Party and trade policies of the time, mostly in his work on protective tariffs. The praise for his sociology tomes in this prospectus range from "worth attentive perusal," to "a noble volume," though praise for him is much more effusive: "a prophet in his own country."
