Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Local Self-Government Un-Mystified: A Vindication of Common Sense, Human Nature, and Practical Improvement, Against the Manifesto of Centralism, Put Forth at the Social Science Association, 1857 The Manifesto of Centralism here noticed, was first published to the world in the columns of ´The Times, on the 17th October, 1857. The first edition of the present work was published on the 7th November following. A large edition having already become exhausted, a few chiefiy verbal revisions have been made in this edition; and two Extracts, on. the important point of certainty in the Law, have been added. That Manifesto of Centralism itself, did not contain a single fresh point, either of argument, suggestion, or illustration. Every point in it had been already abundantly considered in my previously published works. But the particular parade, and specially official character, of the promulgation of that Manifesto, plainly showed how highly desirable it was, to bring within a simple form, and a shape and price accessible to every one, a general view of the real Principles and practical questions that are.at stake; and, at the same time, to expose the true character of the means that are alone able to be taken, and of the most plausible pretences that are able to be used, even by interested Officialism itself, in order to mystify and mislead the Public mind upon these subjects. The object of the present publication is, then, not temporary, but permanent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
