Synopsis

Excerpt from A History of Politics

Some ten years ago, Sir Frederick Pollock published a valuable and interesting little book on the history of political speculation.1 But the author is not aware that any one has yet attempted to summarize, in a brief, popular form, the record of political action. It has occurred, therefore, to the promoters of this Series, that such a summary might prove interesting, if only by way of comparison.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Some ten years agoS ir Frederick Pollock published a valuable and interesting little book on the history of political speculation. But the author is not aware that any one has yet attempted to summarize in a brief, popular form, the record of political action. It has occurred, therefore, to the promoters of thisS eries that such a summary might prove interesting, if only by way of comparison. These pages profess to give, then, a brief account of what men have done not of what, they have thought in that important branch of human activity which we call Politics, or the Art of Government. But if it should be objected that what men do is really always the outcome, more or less perfect, of what they think, the answer is, that we recognize, for practical purposes, a distinction between what the world, in theory at least, believes to be best, and that which it actually succeeds in achieving. And a comparison of the two objects can hardly fail to be instructive. To the other, and inevitable objection, that it is impossible, within the narrow limits of a popular sketch, to deal with such a subject as the History of Politics, the author An Introduction to the History of theS cience of Politics. By (S ir) Frederick Pollock. London, 1890. A new edition has recently been published.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
