Excerpt from Government for the People The bibliographies appended to each chapter are not intended to be exhaustive, but merely to suggest some of the more available works and articles for use by those who wish to pur sue the subject further. I wish to make acknowledgment of the con stant encouragement which has been afforded me throughout the various stages of my work by Professor David P. Barrows, Head of the Political Science Department and Dean of the Faculties of the University of California. Al though differing with me materially in some of my conclusions, he has always urged me to a sincere expression of my own views. Mr. J. H. Quire has assisted me in the correction of proofs, and Mr. J. R. Douglas, Teaching Fel low in Political Science, has given untiring service in the preparation of the book for the press. My greatest helper has been my wife, who at every stage has been ready with pointed criticism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
