In THE rise and growth of American
politics. a sketch OF constitutional de-
velopments," the author, Henry Jones
Ford offers a systematic explanation of
the characteristics Of American politics,
tracing them from their colonial origins
and English antecedents, through the
various phases of their development,
down to the present day. The adoption
of the constitution is treated as an in
cident of the process, and an important
feature of the work is the account
given of the stresses and reactions upon
practical politics, caused by the con-
densation of the political ideas of the
fathers into rigid frame of govern
ment.
In conclusion, the work attempts to
forecast the ultimate type to which
American politics are tending, and
reaches conclusions more gratifying to
national pride than are usually set
forth in political treatses. CThe Mac
