Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The American Republic and Its Government: An Analysis of the Government of the United States
With a view to this larger study of American politics, and as leading up to it, it seems to me necessary to recog nize that between the field for the elementary text-books in Civics and that of the advanced classes in the universi ties that call for special and extensive study in works like that of Mr. Bryce, there is an intermediate field. My effort has been to fill this gap, to provide an intermediate book for advanced courses ln-high schools or for elemen tary courses in the colleges. It is believed that in this field of Civics there are classes of students well prepared for more advanced work than is ordinarily pursued in high schools, whose interest will be more easily and effectively aroused and sustained by a somewhat elaborate discussion of the more important subjects in the study of the American Government and its principles. For this purpose it seems better to present more extensive treatment of fewer subjects than to reconsider the great variety of miscellaneous topics usually contained in the books on elementary Civics.
