The Government Class Book: A Youth's Manual of Instruction in the Principles of Constitutional Government and Law (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Government Class Book: A Youth's Manual of Instruction in the Principles of Constitutional Government and Law Part II., Principles of law, contains also two divi sions, the first one presenting the main principles which govern the rights and duties of man to man in his every-day life, and his varied rights connected with personal security, liberty, and property and the second giving the rules by which the relations of nations to each other are regulated. Thus the volume presents a general view of the position of the citizen in all the relations he may sustain in this country: to his fellow citizen, to his State, to his Nation, and to foreign nations. Extensive improvements were made by Salter S. Clark, Esq., of New York, in the original form of this work. Changes and additions had been rendered necessary by historic events. A more natural and logical order was pursued, with proper subordination of topics. Each paragraph of a chapter was confined to a single specified subject. Analyses and diagrams were added, where appropriate, to be used as black board exercises, with review questions for the use of both pupil and teacher. The present edition has been carefully revised. Very few material changes have been made, but some corrections and additions were required to adapt the book to present needs. It is confidently hoped that this work, tested by long experience, may find as much favor in the future as it has received in the past.
