The subject is fascinating and at last I have an understanding of what happened to the Liberals. Georgism and LVT is essential to that understanding. I was completely unaware of Georgism until about a year ago as many, no, most, still are but it solves the puzzle. It never seemed to me that the rise of the Labour Party alone was enough to explain what happened to them.

What a resource it is! I have in mind that the first issue was 8 pages; the text fills 80 pages when I put it into a PDF. Many names which surface later in the movement show up here -- Thomas Shearman, John Codman, Judge Maguire, "The Standard" was in some senses an outgrowth of the NYC Mayoral election of the preceding November. I look forward to additional issues! Thank you for posting this. What a resource it is! I have in mind that the first issue was 8 pages; the text fills 80 pages when I put it into a PDF.

“The Standard” was in some senses an outgrowth of the NYC Mayoral election of the preceding November.

I look forward to additional issues!
