Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Development of Constitutional and Civil Liberty: Being a Series of Eight Lectures Delivered Before the Post-Graduate Classes of the University of Georgetown
The following lectures, delivered before the Post Graduate Classes of the University of Georgetown, in the winters of 1895-6 and 1896-7 are not intended to be a treatise on the subject with which they deal, but simply what they purport to be, a series of lec tures on the subject, addressed to an intelligent class of young men, for the purpose of stimulating inquiry and directing attention to the long contest through which our precious heritage of constitutional and civil liberty has been secured. If, in acceding to a request for thelr publication, I can reach others than those to whom they were addressed, and I can be instrumental thereby, even in the slightest degree, in promoting a love of our free institutions and a patriotic desire for the preservation and perpetuation of our system of constitutional liberty, the publica tion will not have been in vain.
