Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Politics for Young Americans In the following pages I have attempted to explain in simple language, and by familiar illustrations fitted for the comprehension of boys and girls, the meaning and limits of liberty, law government, and human rights; and thus to make intelligible to then the political principles on which our system of government in the United States is founded. The book grew out of an attempt, in a few letters, to instruct my oldest son in the political knowledge which every American boy ought to possess to fit him for the duties of citizenship. I found my subject much larger than I at first imagined; but interest in the attempt led me on, and what was begun originally for one boy is here printed for the use of others. I have retained the familiar and direct style which one naturally uses in addressing a boy, because thus I hope more easily to interest young people in the subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civics for Young Americans: Or First Lessons in Government; Revised and Enlarged, With an Appendix Containing Explanations of State, County, Town and City Government In preparing this book the author has had primarily before him the fact that just such a book was wanted to throw light upon a common subject not generally or sufficiently treated in school courses of instruction. Besides, there has been a paramount desire to present the subject in a form so simple and entertaining that the young reader may readily understand, and through this understanding, be led to further thought. A basis of interesting knowledge being established, further thought cannot fail to inculcate a love of our country and its laws. The subject of Civil Government involves much that requires for its comprehension mature and extended thought. In view of this fact the author has kept in mind the capabilities of young intellects, and has endeavored to treat that subject so simply, in both the choice of words and the arrangement of thought, as to insure its easy comprehension by the youngest reader. Nevertheless, it is hoped that it will prove interesting to older thinkers who may find time to read it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Young American written by S. G. Goodrich and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young American: Or Book of Government and Law; Showing Their History, Nature and Necessity In a country where government derives its very existence from the people, and where its entire administration is dependent on them, it is clear that it will be good or bad, as the people are intelligent or ignorant, virtuous or vicious. We cannot gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles; we cannot expect a wise government from ignorance, or a pure one from corruption. Hence, the familiar remark, that the safety of our liberty - of our republican institutions, lies in the intelligence and virtue of the people. The diffusion of moral and intellectual light is therefore the great work of the patriot in these United States. And while this is true, as a general remark, it should not be forgotten that there is special reason for the diffusion of political truth. Government is an artificial structure, vast in its dimensions, curious and complicated in its parts. A man can no more be born a government-maker, than he can be born a house-maker, or a watch-maker; he needs to learn his trade as much in the one case as the other.

No little knowledge of the structure and working of our government may be imparted; and it is quite possible to give a very definite notion of the rights and duties of citizenship. This must be done, however, by the teacher. No text-book alone will answer. Whatever aid of that nature is furnished must be supplemented by the teacher's living knowledge and constant interest. It is the hope of the author that this book may serve as a help to teachers in such work - as the nucleus around which such work may gather. Of course each teacher will use it in his own way. But in the appendix will be found a few suggestions which may be helpful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Politics: The Present State of American Political Science This essay is addressed to graduate students. My aim is to tell young men and young women some things it may be good to know about the profession they intend to enter. If old timers think they learn something also, they are welcome to whatever they pick up. If many older members of the profession read this, some of them will find confirmation of their own positions. They may even encounter some of their own ideas stated in their own words. For I have freely utilized what I have heard said over a period of at least three decades. I hope, of course, that I have myself added something to the discussion-if I have, it is not likely to sound new to men of my own age. I have not won any prizes for keeping my thoughts to myself over the years. But the young people, I have hope, will encounter a thing or two here they have not already pondered.
