Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Secret Sessions of the Senate: Their Origin, Their Motive, Their Object, Their Effect In the absence of some explanation it is very likely that, in speaking of the Senate as plainly as I shall, without ever having been a Senator, I should subject myself to the charge of presumption. Let me say, therefore, that for many years my interest in public administration has led me to reflections and inquiries as to the manner in which it is affected by secret sessions of the Senate. Prior to April last, I had been for twelve years a Civil Service Commissioner, though for a portion of the time with no very active duties. This period covers the official life of three Presidents, as such, and a considerable portion of that of two others. The duties of a Civil Service Commissioner afford unusual opportunities for learning and appreciating not only the object and effects of these sessions but the views taken of them both by Senators and Presidents; and I may add that these views are very diverse. I had become so painfully impressed with the disastrous effects of these sessions, that, before leaving office, I had resolved to use the first opportunity for inviting public attention to them. These pages are the result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
