Black cloth on boards. No writing or damage. I would have changed the title to "The Way it Worked for Me" in light of the apparent fact that much, if not most, of what happens in politics is based upon the merger or collision of personalities, as opposed to the intellectual consideration of issues. At any rate, anyone who lasts 30 years in such an important environment must have something worthwhile to contribute, even though it were by default. 402 pp. View More...

Brown cloth on boards. Library bookplate. Occasional light foxing. "Not a few of those who come forward to advocate the mental equality of the sexes, do so in order to show that woman is entitled to the same political rights and privileges as man; a doctrine which, if brought into practical exercise, would tend to the total disorganization of the family institution, and, even more effectually than the spirit of the age, dissolve the domestic ties, and destroy all that makes woman efficient as a moral helpmate of man."- Pp. 167-168. Harper's School Library. View More...

Original black cloth on boards. Unclipped DJ very good. Apparently the aim of the book is to bring some new names to the fore of the field of social and political theory. I started to read it, but bogged down before completing the first chapter on Thomas Carlyle. I believe the part of the book to which I was exposed could have been improved by careful editing. If I were doing it I would have shortened sentences by doing away with so many strings of dependent clauses. 217 pp. including index. View More...
