Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Problem of City Government: Abstract of an Address by the Hon. Seth Low, of Brooklyn, N. Y., To the Students of History and Politics in the Johns Hopkins University
We are now ready to consider the main question. What does good government consist in, and how are we to get it in American cities? Any high conception of good city government implies, first of all, efficiency; second, honesty; third, economy, without parsimony; fourth, foresight; fifth, civic courage. Let us consider these in their order. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
