Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The French Assembly of 1848 and American Constitutional Doctrines
This study was begun at Paris in 1913, before France and the United States were allied in war a second time. In the light of this alliance, it becomes peculiarly gratifying to find that a close friendship existed between the two countries in the early days Of the Second Republic. The extent to which this friendship was based on a like attitude toward constitutional problems and issued in an endeavor to find similar solutions has seemed a question worthy of in vestigation.
I wish to express my gratitude to M. Emile Bourgeois, professor Of diplomatic and political history at the Sor bonne, to M. Georges Renard, professor at the College de France and editor of La révolution do 1848 for helpful sug gestions at an early stage Of my work and for invaluable assistance in gaining access to the archives of the Chamber Of Deputies and to the archivists Of the Chamber for their unfailing courtesy. I am indebted to Professors James. Harvey Robinson, James T. Shotwell and Charles A. Beard Of Columbia University for kindly encouragement, to Pro fessors Charles D. Hazen, William A. Dunning and Wil liam R. Shepherd for useful criticisms, to Professor Hazen for unstin'ted aid in correcting proof, and to my wife, Blanche 0. Curtis, for faithful cooperation in overcoming the mechanical difficulties of the task and for continued in Spiration.
