Excerpt from Federal and Unified Constitutions: A Collection of Constitutional Documents for the Use of StudentsGerman Reich may profitably be compared with its predecessor, the constitution of the North German Con federation of 1867, which served the German Empire from 1871 to the revolution of November, 1918.Certain extracts from the speeches of the statesmen con cerned in the setting-up of the new constitutions have been included in order to shew something of the ideas that moved them. Considerations of space have severely limited such selections, but students who are desirous of extending their reading in this direction, may be referred to Elliot's Debates on the Federal Constitution, Alexander Hamilton's arguments in the Federalist, and Messrs. Egerton and Grant's Canadian Confederation, which con tain much valuable material of a similar kind in relation to the United States and the Dominion of Canada. He sponsible government in the British Empire is so closely bound up with federation that no apology is necessary for the inclusion of extracts concerning it.My acknowledgments are due to my former pupil Mr. Laurence Hollingsworth, ba, now of the Depart ment of Education, Zanzibar, for his patient and skilled assistance in preparing the various documents for the press.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
