A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The application of the comparative method to the study of early American history has within recent years been attended with results of the most substantial value. The scattered communities along the Atlantic coast which, since 1776, have been united in a common bond of government had their origin in widely diverse sets of conditions. While, therefore, their development has been characterized by institutions bearing a general analogy to each other, there is sufficient individuality and local differentiation to be observed in any one instance, to render a somewhat close comparison of their points of resemblance and difference extremely serviceable. It is plain, moreover, that, the farther down in the scale of local division we can go, the more fruitful will be the study of these local institutions. While, then, the nation is made up of the several States, once colonies or provinces, and while the States are made up of counties; we need to notice that, descending still farther, the counties are made up of towns, or, as in some States, parishes. We may pass, for our present purpose, any consideration of the counties2 in connection with this question. 1B ead before the Ehode Island Historical Society, Jan. 22, 1884, and before the Historical Seminary, Johns Hopkins University, A pril 18, 1884. 2S ee Dr. Edward Channing spaper, on Town and County Government, in the English Colonies of North A merica, Johns Hopkins University Studies, 2d series, X.
