Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Methods and Observation and Reasoning in Politics, Vol. 1 of 2
In the present treatise, therefore, an attempt will be made to survey this foreground of political philosophy, with the view of furnishing a guide to the political student who seeks to reason for himself, and to form an independent judgment upon any department of politics. Ou the one hand, it does not aim at establishing any political theory, or inculcating any system of political doctrine; on the other hand, it does not pretend to be a'logical treatise, but it avails itself of logical rules, established by professed writers on logic, and is merely concerned with their application to politics. It makes no claim to novelty or invention; but it seeks only to extend to politics those methods of observation and reasoning which experience has proved to be most effectual, and which are employed with success in other departments of knowledge. Without proposing to determine truth, it proposes to be instrumental in promoting the deter mination of truth by others.
