Democracy and Government (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Democracy and Government<br><br>"Democracy and Government" was begun in April, 1915, and completed in April, 1917. Since then only minor changes have been made in the text, and a few foot-notes added. The varied political phenomena of the past two years have been purposely ignored because, being chiefly due to causes connected with the war, and therefore largely temporary in character, they are less important in the evolution of political institutions than the phenomena belonging to times of peace.<br><br>The author wishes to thank Dr. Charles E. McStravick, of San Antonio, Texas, for his kindness in reading and criticizing the manuscript.<br><br>San Antonio, Texas, July, 1919.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
