In the preface to Introduction to Economics, Seager explains, that "the principal feature which distinguishes it from other college text-books is its full treatment of the subject of distribution.
This is the part of the study which is of greatest interest and importance ; yet it is the 
part most neglected in current manuals..."
In a review of this work the American economist Herbert J. Davenport (1904) commented:
"In almost all respects this new manual is all that a book of the sort ought to be—— thoroughly modern in doctrine : wide in sympathy; marvelously deft in avoiding offense and in touching lightly on contested points, yet in all cases calling both instructor and pupil to face fairly the point in question ; clear, sprightly, and stimulating in style and in manner of presentation.
And all the while there is room for the instructor and for his initiative and individuality.
No teacher inferior in training or wanting in class-room skill would better attempt this book...
His catholic quality of temper and lack of dogmatism render.
Professor Seager's doctrinal positions of less controlling importance for text-book purposes.
While his work is noticebly Austrian in tone and method, yet it is such in a manner which need not offend even the radically conservative.
Merely as indicating a general point of view, it may be noted that the marginal-productivity theory of distribution is adopted, with perhaps some degree of vagueness or vacillation as to the relation between distributive shares and competitive costs..."
