Monsieur George Bourgin discovered in the National Archives in Paris several manuscripts shedding light on the life and doctrines of Saint-Simon. One is a petition addressed by Saint-Simon to the Chamber of Deputies under the Restauration. Here the great utopist exposes a political system most suitable for his country and gives a survey of the means how to increase France's wealth, how to start a really national education-campaign, and how to guide the French morale in the path of positive peace. The other texts consist of letters, probably addressed to Decazes, in which he endeavours to obtain his assistance in favour of the young school of Saint-Simon.

44 p., 27 cm. ; Eduardo Paz was a Brigadier General in the Mexican Army during the 1910 revolution who wrote extensively on military matters, with a particular focus on modernization of equipment and strategy. His volume on the Mexican-American War is an early work and examines the differing approaches of the Mexican and United States armies on such basic questions as supply, drill exercises and tactics, communication during combat, and field engineering. Paz provides a detailed look at the actual order of battle for both sides, along with brief sketches of the leadership styles of Generals Winfield Scott and Santa Anna. Suggestions are made for a more scientific approach to the military education of junior officers and emphasis given to the importance of morale among the rank and file soldiery.

One of the most influential of the Victorian philosophers, Henry Sidgwick (1838–1900) was the author of the masterpiece of utilitarianism, The Methods of Ethics. He also made important contributions to fields such as economics, political theory, and classics. An active champion of higher education for women, he founded Cambridge's Newnham College in 1871. He attended Rugby School and then Trinity College, Cambridge, where he remained his whole career. In 1859 he accepted a lectureship in classics, and held this post for ten years. He then changed direction and in 1869 took up a lectureship in moral philosophy. In this book, published in 1886, Sidgwick gives an objective summary of ethical philosophies throughout history. He considers general issues in ethics and then gives a detailed critique of the work of major philosophers from early Greek thinkers through to his nineteenth-century contemporaries

A two-page letter from Frank B. Wilson to Frank N. Seerely, dated May 24th, 1916. In this letter, Wilson tells Seerley about what he is doing in Canada. He also informs him that he intends to keep in touch with his friends at Springfield and send news later on. ; Frank B. Wilson (1889-1969) was born in Kingston, Ontario. He attended school in Ottawa, where his father opened a bicycle store which ultimately developed into one of the city's first automobile sales outlets. Frank attended Stanstead College (Class of 1908) and later enrolled at Springfield College (Class of 1916). Wilson went overseas in World War I as a captain in the 2nd division, being attached to the Canadian YMCA war services. In 1917 he was promoted to the Adjutant of the Overseas War Services. On his discharge he served for a year with the National Council of YMCA and, prior to his return to Montreal, studied education psychology at Columbia University. It was in 1928 that he first became associated with the Mutual Life Assurance Company. At the outbreak of World War II, he volunteered for overseas duty but was turned down. Instead he chose to contribute his services by organizing entertainment for the armed forces, becoming chairman of the Auxiliary Services Entertainment Committee for the Montreal Military District No. 4. In 1941 he was appointed personnel superintendent of the D.I.L. shell-filling plant at Bouchard near Ste. Therese, which post gave him the opportunity to boost the morale of hardworking employees there. After 2.5 years he was able to return to his insurance post. He passed away on May 27 1969. Frank N. Seerley graduated from the International Young Men's Christian Association College in 1890 and began working at the college as an instructor in the same year. He served as a member of the Springfield Board of Education from 1896 to 1912. In 1907, he served as an official lecturer for the American Society of Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis. From 1917 to 1918, he gave lectures on sex hygiene in encampments for the War Work Council. After World War 1, he served as Dean of Springfield College from 1918 to 1934. Seerley was awarded the Tarbell Medallion in 1942.

Thomas Hill Green (1836–82) was one of the most influential English thinkers of his time, and he made significant contributions to the development of political liberalism. Much of his career was spent at Balliol College, Oxford: having begun as a student of Benjamin Jowett, he later acted effectively as his second-in-command at the college. Interested for his whole career in social questions, Green supported the temperance movement, the extension of the franchise, and the admission of women to university education. He became Whyte's professor of moral philosophy at Oxford in 1878, and his lectures had a lasting influence on a generation of students. Volume 3, published in 1888, contains a memoir by Nettleship, Green's pupil and editor, drawing on Green's recollections, as well as the memories of friends and family. The rest of the volume consists of essays on topics ranging from Aristotle to Christian dogma

Henry Sidgwick, (1838–1900), philosopher, classicist, lecturer and fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and supporter of women's university education, is well known for his Method of Ethics (1874), a significant and influential book on moral theory. First published in 1883, this work considers the role the state plays (and ought to play) in economic life, and whether economics should be considered an Art or a Science. Sidgwick applies his utilitarian views to economics, defending John Stuart Mill's 1848 treatise of the same name. The book calls for a return to traditional political economy by eliminating 'needless polemics'. Sidgwick also outlines the need to bridge the gap between his analytical or deductive method and the inductive method employed by Mill's critics, the new generation of economic philosophers including John Elliot Cairnes and William Stanley Jevons. The second edition, reissued here, was published in 1887

A pamphlet written by Dr. Luther Gulick for soldiers during World War I emphasizing the attributes necessary to win the war such as guts, determination, grit and the belief that you will win. More than anything, Gulick explains, in order to be the best soldier possible you must be the best man possible. ; Luther Halsey Gulick is known as the father of physical education and recreation in the United States. He came to the School for Christian Workers, now Springfield College, in 1887 where he helped found the physical training department and served as its first director. Gulick also created Springfield College's seal, the inverted triangle, whose three sides represent the whole man - in spirit, mind and body. Later the triangle was adopted by the YMCA and is still the basis for the symbol they use today. In 1918, Gulick answered a call from the YMCA to serve as chairman of its International Committee on Physical Recreation of the War Work Council. He traveled to France, where he conducted a survey among the soldiers of the American Expeditionary Force. The survey aimed at determining the moral and physical well being and sex hygiene of the servicemen. Gulick died at his summer home in Maine at the age of 52
