Excerpt from Papers on the Legal History of Government: Difficulties Fundamental and Artificial
The papers following the first one (Unity in Government) have appeared in the printed Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society. The Introduction and the first paper have not heretofore been printed. The whole is the outcome of studies in Legal History in the Law School of Boston University.
I cannot lay down these pages, which I have pondered and pondered, without repeating the anxious question raised in the second and third papers: Is Law, which consists essentially in the attempt of man to control his lower nature, destined to prove unequal to the task, and break up into a thousand chaotic Communes? Hope c. kindles in the Potential Energy of life; but Optimism must not be permitted to brush the danger aside.
