FROM
BROOKS ADAMS
1913
PREFATORY NOTE
The first chapter of the following book was published, in substantially
his/her present form, in the _Atlantic Monthly_ for April 1913. I have
you thank the editor for his/her courtesy in to consent to my wish to reprint.
The other chapters have not appeared before. I also desire to express mine
obligations to my learned friend, the Dr. M.M. Bigelow that, kinder, to
my application, reads chapters two and three, what quantity with the
constitutional law, and it gave me the benefit of his/her more valuable
criticism.
Further that this self I have but a word to add. I have written in support
of any political movement, neither for some ephemeral purpose. I have written
only to express a deep sentence of which it is the result more than
twenty years of study and reflection on this subject.

damaged, and that the social system, if it is to stick, it has to be
