CALL FOR ESSAYS 
 
On November 1, 1997 a conference in commemoration of the 100th anniversary 
of the death of Henry George was held in New York City.   Ten scholars from 
the fields of economics, sociology, and history presented papers on Henry 
George, author of _Progress and Poverty_ (1879) and noted reformer. 
 
The success of the conference as well as increased scholarly interest in 
George as a political economist, social critic, and labor party candidate 
has prompted an effort to publish the papers in a book (not yet under 
contract),  _Henry George: Selected Essays in Commemoration of the One 
Hundredth Anniversary of His Death_.    It is intended to present essays 
which raise and address new questions regarding George and his legacy. 
 
There is room in this book for three and possibly four essays in addition 
to the ten presented at the conference. 
 
Anyone interested in submitting an essay for consideration should send it 
by December 1, 1998 to: 
 
Prof. Edward T. O'Donnell 
Dept. of History 
Hunter College, CUNY 
695 Park Avenue 
New York, NY 10021
