Excerpt from Government of Dependencies: An Essay
Plato's system it might be supposed capable of standing without the confirmation of historical events. But that is not the author's way The book is not more satisfactory to the thinker than it is to the historian. It abounds in facts and illustrations drawn from the history of the dependencies both of modern European states and ancient monarchies and republics. Thus history is illuminated by thought, and thought sustained and controlled by history. In this way the author's study of the relations of a dominant and a dependent community becomes a political philosophy teaching by experience.
