Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies in the Constitutional History of Tennessee
I am not unconscious of the peril of writing of the events of the last forty-five years, but the work would have been incomplete without the considera tion of that period, and I have endeavored to be fair in all respects. I have regarded it as a duty to discuss frankly the insufficiency of the Constitution of 1870, for the present needs of the State, and to criticise freely the excessive conservatism of the people in re taining it so long.
I am indebted for valuable assistance to Mrs. John C. Brown and Mr. W. S. Morgan of Nashville.
