Abstract
It may seem a little late to be embarking upon a review of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Webb's (one must defer to their own designation of themselves) book on communism in the Soviet State. But it is not a book to be treated in the hasty way of ordinary reviewing; it has to be read. Still more, it possesses the character of a monument, and one needs to stand back from a monument in order to appreciate it properly.
