Excerpt from Washington and Lincoln: Leaders of the Nation in the Constitutional Eras of American History
The writer has tried to do in this book what he believes needs to be done in some book. In support of this belief, he would direct attention to the following facts: No one else has attempted to establish the relation of those great leaders in government, - Washington and Lincoln. It is true that the shelves in the libraries are groaning under the burden of books with titles bearing one or both of these names. Some of these books are biographical. Others are descriptive of the political conditions in a given era, with the one or the other leader as the dominant personality. Still others relate the leaders through a study of personal traits of character. But, curiously, among all the books, there is not one which attempts to relate these great men through governmental action and theory.
Again, there is a widespread and growing interest in the theories of government. This interest, though world wide, is nowhere more marked than in the United States. At no time in our history as a nation have more people been interested in governmental problems than to-day.
