“Tt is an able and exhaustive treatise, within a reasonable compass. Some 
of its conclusions will be disputed, although sterling common sense is a char- 
acteristic of the book. To the political student and the practical statesman it 
ought to be of great value.”"—New York Herald. 
‘The author traces the subject from Plato and Aristotle in Greece, and Cicero 
in Rome, to the modern schools in the English field, not slighting the teachings 
of the American Revolution or the lessons of the French Revolution of 1793. 
Forms of government, political terms, the relation of law written and unwritten 
to the subject, a codification from Justinian to Napoleon in France and Field in 
America, are treated as parts of the subject in hand. Necessarily the subjects 
of executive and legislative authority, police, liquor, and land laws are con- 
sidered, and the question ever growing in importance in all countries, the rela- 
tions of corporations to the State..’°—New York Observer. 
‘*“The preface is dated at Alexandria, and the author says in it that a two 
years’ journey round the world—in the course of which he visited the chief 
centers of politica] life, ancient and modern, in Europe, America, Australasia, 
Polynesia, and North Africa—not on!y helped him with illustrations, but was of 
no small use to him in stimulating thought. Mr. Amos treats his subject broad- 
ly, and with the air of having studied it exhaustively. The work will be of real 
assistance to the student of political economy, and even to the reader who wishes 
to extend his general knowledge of politics without a regular course of reading.” 
— Boston Transcript. 
“The work is one of the most valuabie of its series, discussing its subject in 
all its phases as illustrated in the world’s history. The chapters on Constitu- 
tious, on Foreign Relations, on the Province of Government, and on Right and 
Wrong in Politics, are particularly able and thoughtful. In that on Revolu- 
tions in States, the unreasonableness of the attempted revolution of the South- 
ern States in this country is disposed of in a few incisive sentences.’”°—Bosten 
Gazette.
