Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Principles of Colonial Government: Adapted to the Present Needs of Cuba and Porto Rico, and of the Philippines
Assuming that the object of Government is to assure to the governed the enjoyment of peace, order and justice, it is obvious that the principles and form of government must be adapted to the present needs and progressive civilization of the governed; and that, consequently, the form of government best suited to accomplish these ends will depend upon the past experience, present condition and political capacity of the governed.
