Synopsis
Excerpt from The Platform, Vol. 1 of 2: Its Rise and Progress
As a great experiment in that world-lasting problem, the system which the British people have adopted, and are attempting to work out, must, whether it fails or whether it succeeds, attract the closest and most searching attention of rulers and peoples in other countries, and at later times than ours. It is, therefore, I venture to think, the more essential that the position, and power, and func tions of the Platform, as an institution of government in this kingdom, should be clearly and distinctly defined.
