To the Second Edition The decade -which, has elapsed since the publication of the first edition of this text has been an eventful one in the field of municipal government. In the preparation of a new edition two objects have been kept particularly in mind. First, An effort has been made to bring the text abreast of the times by a revision of statements of fact and by giving attention to matters of recent interest, such as municipal home rule, the devices of direct government, the newer forms of organization, the relation of the city to its public utilities and municipal finance. In the second place there has been revision of form in the direction of greater simplicity of presentation. It is hoped that the text will prove especially serviceable to those students who must encompass all phases of municipal government: its place in the governmental system, its organization and its functioning, within the limits of a single course. The lists of references at the beginning of chapters include such readings as are readily available and are adapted to the use of undergraduate classes. Acknowledgment should here be made of the assistance gained from the bibliographical labors of Professor William B. Munro of Harvard University. July, 1919. Frank J. Goodnow. Frank G. Bates.
