Studies of Political Thought: From Gerson to Grotius (Classic Reprint)

At the time I delayed publication in order to secure completeness. Since then, many causes have increased the delay, and made perfection farther off than ever. Still, I have read a good deal more in the six literatures, all so vast, with which the lectures deal, and the conclusions are based on a wider induction than when first set forth. The volume, however, is but a course of lectures, intended merely to convey suggestions, and not a comprehensive treatise. Some day, perhaps, Mr Carlyle will give us that. So far as the notes go I have made them as little numerous as possible. Those familiar with the literature will be aware that adequately to illustrate by quotation topics in the text would swell this little volume into aC yclopaedia. I have reduced the errors, both in text and notes, so far as was practicable for one with many other occupations, to whom the use of a great library has been the fleeting boon of an occasional holiday. In so vast a range of topics I cannot hope to have avoided mistakes. They will not, it is hoped, militate against such interest as the book may possess.
