Preface

The importance of tlie stud} of tlie Science of Government in a country whei a every one has an influence in tlie affairs of government, does not need to be argued. Books suitable for its study in our educational institutions should be furnished. This volume is designed as a text-book for our higher institutions. It contains, in a compact form, the facts and principles which every American citizen ought to know. It may be made the basis of a brief, or of an extended course of instruction, as circumstances may require. Though primarily designed as a text-book, the general reader will find every portion of it perfectly intelligible.
