The undersigned takes much pleasure in an.
nouncing the publication of this important vol
ume, which will be found to be complete vade
mecaon for all those who would study the great
and al, absorbing questions of the day, now SO
rapidly forcing themselves upon the attention of
the people, and through them upon their servants
In all legislative bodies. These questions must
and aotH be so1ced, and no man in public life has
done more towards this end than William u.
Kelley, of Pennsylvania,
Judge Kelley has already taken rank among
the ablest of the teachers of social science, as
presented from the American standpoint, the
principles of which are demonstrated by a care
| full induction from facts, and not based upon as
sumptions, as is avowedly the case with the
English system. The book now offered to the
public will fully vindicate his title to such
position.
