The Jungle , published by Doubleday, Page in 1906, was originally serialized in the Socialist newspaper Appeal to Reason , which asked Sinclair to investigate conditions in Chicago's meat-packing industry. Salvaged from the cellar of a farmhouse near Girard, Kansas, along with numerous letters and documents, including Sinclair's correspondence with the Appeal to Reason , the serialization is here reproduced with an introduction and an appendix detailing changes made in the Doubleday edition. Scholars will welcome this version of Sinclair's Socialist novel in its original form. For academic libraries. John Budd, Graduate Lib. Sch., Univ. of Arizona, Tucson
