This is a paperback facsimile reprint of an exceedingly difficult book to find.
From the Introduction:
"This book is written about politics. Its aim is not to treat the subject exhaustively, but to plead for a serious examination of the motive and policy of the English Nation. Politics, which embraces all arts, crafts and sciences, which requires for its proper consideration all the best qualities of mind and character, has become since the Reformation the abused hack of those who live by appealing to the ignorance that prevails on the strength of the popular franchise."
