American Political Ideas e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This study is the outgrowth of investigations begun in the Seminar on American political philosophy given by Professor Dunning, in Columbia University, 1896-97, and the writer wishes to acknowledge his deep sense of obligation for the inspiration then given, and for subse quent encouragement in the prosecution of this work. I am also indebted to my colleagues, Professors Freund, Small, and Dodd for counsel and help; and particularly to Mr. Harold F. Gosnell, Fellow in the Department of P0 litical Science in the University of Chicago, for aid in the reading of proof.
