Excerpt from Cobden Club Essays: Local Government and Taxation
The Cobden Club believes that it is doing good service in giving to the public a series of Essays on the Local Government and Taxation of different countries. Additional light, it is hoped, will be thrown upon these important questions, by exhibiting the origin and character of various systems of Local Government actually at work, as well as by comparing their merits and defects.
The Contributors to this Volume are, in nearly every case, citizens of the respective countries whose local institutions form the subject of their several Essays. They are, moreover, men who have devoted their time and abilities to the careful study of the political and social problems of our day. The Essay on Germany is not, indeed, from the pen of a German; but it has been written by one whose long residence in Germany has made him thoroughly acquainted with the language and customs of that great country. So, too, the author of the Essay on Russia, although not a Russian,. has resided much in that empire, and has acquired no slight personal knowledge of its people, institutions, and language.
