Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Civil Service in Great Britain: A History of Abuses and Reforms and Their Bearing Upon American Politics In submitting these pages to the public, it seems proper I should state that the views they express concerning administration in Great Britain are not based solely upon the authorities cited. During a sojourn of more than a year in that country, I had given special attention to the subject. The general studies then made have been recently verified by special inquiries conducted in her principal Executive Departments; and it is but just to add that these later investigations were undertaken pursuant to the request conveyed to me in the following communication: Honorable Dorman B. Eaton, Chairman Civil Service Commission: Sir - The Act of March 3, 1871 (R. S., § 1753), having, in terms, conferred certain authority upon the President for the regulation of the Civil Service, the proper exercise of which may make it desirable that he should posses fuller information concerning the methods of such regulation in countries where that service sustains relations most analogous to those of the Civil Service of the United States, I have been requested by the President to say to you that he hopes you may find it practicable to investigate and make a report to him concerning the action of the English Government in relation to its Civil Service, and the effects of such action since 1850. But I must add that, there not appearing to be any appropriation available for such purpose, you will not be authorized to incur any expense for which the United States is to be held responsible. In bringing the substance of the report submitted to the President before the public in this volume, I may be mistaken in the value of the facts it presents as a contribution to the literature of reform; but I cannot be in my painful sense of the many defects in the execution of the work.
