Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Celebrate John Marshall Day: February 4, 1901
George Ticknor Curtis, in his work on the Constitu tional History of the United States, closes his preface by saying: Perhaps some future Gibbon, centuries hence, will write the 'decline and Fall of the American Repub lic. Let us hope, however, that in the meantime some thing will be done for the welfare of mankind; that some still greater improvements will have been made in the science of government and that if the decadence of our institutions must be recorded, the way will have been pre pared -for better ones to take their place.
