The undersigned takes much pleasure in an
no1ncing the publication of this important vol
ume, which will be found to be a complete wade
nec,tm for all those who would study the great
and absorbing questions of the day, now
rapidly forcing themselves upon the attention of
the people, and through them upon their servants
in all legislative bodies. These questions must
and ufH be solued, and no man in public life has
done more towards this end than William L.
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 avewedly the case with the
English system. The book now offered to the
public will fully vndicate his titlo to such a
position.
