Source text (please read only from this text!): variousI have selected twelve works by American sociologist John Graham Brooks, most of which are articles published in journals between 1892 and 1914. All twelve are sourced from Archive.org and according to this link, all of his work is now in the public domain: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:John_Graham_Brooks. The titles are:
Old Age Pensions in England - 1892
The Unemployed in German Cities - 1893
Philosophy and Political Economy - 1893
The Future Problem of Charity and the Unemployed - 1894
The Papal Encyclical Upon the Labor Question - 1894
The Pope and the Encyclical on Labor - 1895
The Social Question in the Catholic Congresses - 1896
Insurance of the Unemployed - 1896
The Label of the Consumers League - 1900
The Issue between the Open and Closed Shop - 1905
The conflict between private monopoly and good citizenship - 1909
The Problem of Syndicalism - 1914
After spot checking a few, it appears that most of the works listed above are less than 2000 words each, except two coming in at about 5200 and 6400. He wrote several full-length books, each having several hundred pages, that would be suitable for future projects. (Summary by )
