Excerpt from Irregularity of Employment and Fluctuations of Prices

On consideration it was decided to, attempt some thing like a re'sume' of the facts and opinions brought out in the Conference, by asking several of those who had taken a prominent part in its proceedings to set forth their doctrines in a more extended form; and, inasmuch as the project had its birth in Scot land, it seemed good that these statements should in the first instance be delivered to audiences in some of the largest centres of Scottish industry. Care was taken that in the selection of subjects, and of lecturers, no single aspect or tendency should have undue prominence, and at the same time that no important section of opinion should be unrepresented. The lectures were given in Edinburgh, in Glasgow, and in Dundee, during the months of May, June, and July of this year, and the amount of interest which they aroused seems to promise that in a col lected form they will be welcomed by a wider public as a valuable aid to the understanding of the present position of industrial problems.

Each lecture is here printed as it was delivered, subject only to the corrections of the author; and it will of course be understood, from the nature of the scheme, that the various writers are in no sense responsible for-any opinions or statements in the volume outside of their own lectures.
