has ever been produced by an American scholar."--_Pittsburg
Post._

"The comprehensiveness and range of Mr. Lowell's work is one of
the reasons for the unique place of his 'Government of
England'--for its place is in a class by itself, with no other
books either by British or non-British authors to which it can be
compared. Another reason is the insight, which characterizes it
throughout, into the spirit in which Parliament and the other
representative institutions of England are worked, and the
accuracy which so generally characterizes definite statements; all
contribute to make it of the highest permanent value to students
of political science the world over."--Edward Porritt in _The
Forum_.
