Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings. Careful attention has been made to accurately preserve the original form
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.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the Dorr Rebellion, the unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the Rhode Island government and replace it with a more democratic one from 1841-1842, and the culmination of nearly 70 years of agitation for expanded suffrage in the state. The author conducted extensive research to gather original source material to construct a comprehensive, balanced account of this event. The study examines the development of the state's unique unwritten constitutional history alongside its written charter, and deconstructs the political and constitutional struggle that led up to the rival conventions of 1841. The work includes illustrations of the era and concludes with the lasting significance of the author's insights on this main subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
