Description

Completely revised and enlarged edition (1951) of a book which has
become a standard work on comparative government. This edition brings up to date the
material on institutions and practices of government in Britain, the United States,
and Canada, and analyses more fully the relationship of democratic institutions and
practices to the essentials of the democratic creed.
