What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and table of contents** rather than political cartoon. The left side promotes "The Library of the World's Greatest Scientists" — a seven-volume set featuring Darwin, Spencer, Huxley, Tyndall, and Lombroso, priced at $1.00. This appears to be marketing popular science literature to American readers. The right side lists Judge's August 1917 contents, featuring humorous pieces and drawings by contributors like R.B. Fuller and Hamilton Williams. **Historical context**: Published during America's involvement in World War I, the contents likely reflect contemporary concerns, though specific pieces aren't visible. The scientific emphasis suggests Judge maintained intellectual credibility alongside humor during this period.

These Books Startled the World— They Made Men Think As Never Before The books whose titles are given below are by the greatest and the most original thinkers the world has ever known. Our modem civilization, the product largely of the tremendous advances in knowledge of the last half century—the age of Darwin and his fellow scientists—is the concrete expression of the thought contained in— The Library of the World’s Greatest Scientists DARWIN—SPENCER—HUXLEY—TYNDALL—LOMBROSO Books That Agitated Society These great scientists studied life from every angle. They will help you solve its problems. ‘They will open your eyes to an understanding of its mysteries—to an appreciation of its potentialities. The story told in The Origin of Species is as wonderful as any tale of oriental enchantment. This book rev- olutionized modern thought. = It stirred society with a revolutionary ferment. Where formerly there was chaos of speculation and theory, it substituted a revelation of Nature’s immutable laws. We are seeing the results of the ap- plication of these laws in the physical and mental improvement of the human race. Their application to economic problems has already added untold millions to the wealth of nations. Prof. Lombroso’s Book on Criminology As an illustration of the wide scope of this set, there is the volume on The Female Offender, by Prof. Lombroso. No more startling revelations can be found anywhere than those contained in the picture he draws of one aspect of the underworld in this book. The Social Evil is as old as creation. The lair of “The Scarlet Woman” is located in almost every community. No study of Sociology therefore is complete that does not take into account her malign influence, and the correct measures necessary to combat that influence. Prof. Lombroso’s work made an epoch in criminology because of the wide scope and systematic character of his researches.
