A SOURCE BOOK OF AMERICAN POLITICAL THEORY.

By BENJAMIN FLETCHER WEIGHT, JR., The MacMillanCompany, New York. 1929.

Professor Wright has performed a great service to all interested in the development of American political thought by his competent editing with introductory notes of the important materials in this field. The selections cover a wide range of men and encompass the main political ideas set forth in Amererica from the time when John Cotton penned his "Letter to Lord Say and Sele" in 1636 to the time when Herbert Hoover discoursed upon government and business in the Presi- dential campaign of 1928. Lawyers and stu- dents of history and politics should find this book an invaluable aid.
