Excerpt from Bodies Politic and Their Governments
In the following chapters the author lays before his readers sketches in words of those political organisations with which a study of history has made him acquainted. The sketches are many, their subjects diversified: but each group of kindred subjects is figured in a chapter or a few chapters by itself, and when that is done a tabular view of the subjects in the group is appended. In the tabular view the subjects appear no longer in separate sketches, but in a single small and compact panorama. In the last chapter the separate panoramas are joined together into one, and a birds eye view of political organisations of all sorts is exhibited.
During the last twenty or thirty years the author has been led by his studies to form one after another several different general views of political organisations and political phenomena, each of them, he believes, a little nearer to the truth than the one that preceded it. Eleven years ago one of these views, the best that he could then make, was published under the title, Outlines of Comparative Politics.
