Modern Democracies Vol 1 Of 2 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Modern Democracies, Vol. 1 of 2 The book is not meant to propound theories. Novelties are not possible in a subject the literature of which began with Plato and Aristotle and has been enriched by thousands of pens since their day. What I desire is, not to impress upon my readers views of my own, but to supply them with facts, and (so far as I can) with explanations of facts on which they can reflect and from which they can draw their own conclusions.
