Excerpt from City Government in the United States
In two little books entitled "Municipal Home Rule" and "Municipal Problems," published respectively in 1895 and 1898, the author of the following pages attempted, in some cases, somewhat exhaustively, the treatment of what appeared to him to be the most important problems connected with the study of city government as they presented themselves in the United States. The method of treating these questions, on the one hand, did not involve a systematic exposition of the subject, but, on the other hand, did involve a comparison of American institutions with those of some of the more important European countries.
In the book now presented to the public the author"s intention has been to confine himself almost exclusively to a study of American conditions and at the same time to broaden the scope of the inquiry so as to embrace the entire field of city government so far as that is regarded from the viewpoint of organization and structure.
