I. INTRODUCTORY 



I. LOCAL GOVERNMENT GENERALLY. 



Short accounts of the systems of local government of the principal 

 countries of continental Europe are given in the Cobden Club Essays: 

 Local Government and Taxation, London, 1875, edited by J. W. 

 Probyn. See also F. Bechard's De L' administration de la France, 2 

 vols. Paris, 185 i, with appendix on municipal organization in Europe. 



The best short description of English local government is M. D. 

 Chalmers's Local Government, "English Citizen" Series, London, 

 1883. See also Local Administration, " Lnperial Parliament" Series, 

 London, 1887, by Wm. Rathbone, Albert Pell and F. C. Montague. 

 For still shorter account read chapter 15 of May's Constitutional His- 

 tory and article on "Local Government in England" by F. J. Good- 

 now in the Political Science Quarterly, December, 1887, vol. 2, pp. Ty^^Z- 

 65, and an article by the same writer on "The Local Government Bill" 

 in the Political Science Quarterly, June, 1888, vol. 3, pp. 311-333. 

 Supplement Chalmers with Cobden Club Essays : Local Government 

 and Taxation in the Llnited Kingdom, London, 1882, edited by J. W. 

 Probyn. The mo^t exhaustive work on English local offices is Ru- 

 dolph (jueist's Self Government : Commiinalverfassung u. Verwaltungs- 

 gerichte in England, untranslated, 3d ed., 1876. For full bibliography 

 see Gomme's Literature of Local Institutions, London, 1886. 



The best short outline of local government in the United States is 

 an article by S. A. Galpin on " Minor Political Divisions of the United 

 States,'' in Gen. F. A. Walker's Statistical Atlas of the United States. 

 The papers on the local institutions of several of the States in' the 

 Johns Hopkins University Studies in Historical and Political Science 

 are especially valuable. Chas. M. Andrews has articles on Connecti- 

 cut towns in the Johns Hopkins Studies, vol. 7, and in the Annals of 

 the American Academy of Political Science, October, 1890, vol. i, 

 pp. 165-91. Especially important is Prof. Geo. E. Howard's Local 

 Constitutional History of the United States, vol. i.: "The Develop- 

 ment of the Township, Hundred and Shire," printed as an extra vol- 

 ume in this series. John Fiske's lecture on "The Town Meeting," 

 delivered at the Royal Institution, was printed in Harper's Magazine, 

 vol. 70, pp. 265-272, and in his American Political Ideas, N. Y.,
