Présentation de l'éditeur :
For many reasons, some of which are obvious to the least thoughtful, the history of Switzerland is peculiarly interesting, and not least so to Englishspeaking peoples. In the first place, the playground of Europe is every year visited by large numbers of British and A mericans, some of whom indeed are familiar with almost every corner of it. Then to the A nglo-S axon race the grand spectacle of a handful of freemen nobly struggling for and maintaining their freedom, often amidst enormous difficulties, and against appalling odds, cannot but be heart-stirring. To the citizen of the great American republic a study of the constitution of the little European republic should bring both interest and profit a constitution resembling in many points that of his own country and yet in many other respects so different.
