Excerpt from Outlines of Lectures on the Taxation of Land Values: An Explanation With Illustrative Charts, Notes, and Answers to Typical Questions, of the Land-Labor-and-Fiscal Reform Advocated by Henry George

Hard Times, which Twas then delivering in the United States and Canada.

For book publication I adapted the principal points of those lectures to the Singletax, the one theme to which all the subjects are related. They were originally pub lished in this unified form in 1894 as Outlines of Post's Lectures. That edition having been exhausted, the sec ond, somewhat revised, was published in 1899 under the more appropriate title of The Singletax. The third was issued in 1906 under the same title and Without re vision; and when this edition also had been exhausted, the fourth Was issued in response to requests from Great Britain as well as the United States and Canada. In complying with those requests it seemed best to alter the title and the text so as to conform to a habit of speech which, originating in Great Britain and spreading into Canada and the United States, had tended to substitute for single tax the phrase taxation Of land values. The fifth edition is in nearly every respect like the fourth which is now out of print.
