Excerpt from Order and Progress: Thoughts on Government; Studies of Political Crises This volume, without pretending to be a systematic treatise, is something more than a casual collection of essays. Of the two parts of which it consists, the first is new; the second contains some essays which appeared in the 'Fortnightly Review,' and which are now republished with the courteous consent of the Publishers and Editor. These have now been rearranged, condensed, and revised. I have so little taste for a medley of published articles, that, in spite of constant invitation, I should still hesitate to present them in a permanent form, were it not that those now offered to the public were originally written on a regular plan, to urge a particular policy. I withheld them from collection in a volume until circumstances might permit me to work them into a whole, and set forth the principles on which they were written.
