About this edition

The Standard was Henry George’s weekly, published in New York from January 1887 to August 1892. This edition gives the text of each issue as it was printed: original spelling, punctuation and misprints are kept, and uncertain readings are shown in [brackets?]. Headlines on this page are the paper’s own. Where a piece is unsigned, no author is given.

The edition is a draft and grows week by week. Each issue page carries its own date of revision.
