Excerpt from The Government of Maryland In the writing of this guide to the scheme of gov ernment of our state, the author has set as her goals; accuracy, brevity, and clearness. She realizes fully that the curtain has been merely lifted on one fascinating phase after another of our government's activities. But it is hoped that the glimpse will lure readers on to fur ther study. It is difficult to condense into paragraphs what can be handled adequately only by whole chapters. Citation of authorities has had to be largely eliminated. Even the bibliographies are drawn so as to direct to the most suitable and accessible references rather than to furnish complete lists of authorities. It is hoped that the qualities striven for are present in sufficient measure to induce readers to follow its dry pages, if not with pleasure, at least with some profit. That it will prove to be without error she knows better than to hope. A com prehensive and absolutely accurate piece of work, especially on so involved and difficult a subject as govern ment, is not prepared in a few short months. Most of all, it is hoped that the book will prove a handy book of refer ence at a time when citizens are going to need to know just what duties pertain to each state office. We ask that we be judged by what we have attempted, and not by what we might or, possibly, ought to have undertaken. Grateful acknowledgment is made to Mr. A. S. Cook, State Superintendent of Education, and Mr. F. R. Kent for kindly reading the chapters on Education and Political Parties, respectively. In a very special way the author wishes to acknowledge her indebtedness to Dr. Horace Flack and Miss Ella Hitchcock of the Department of Legislative Reference, without whose valuable compila tions, materials, and constant friendly helpfulness the task would have been impossible in the time available. Dr. Flack has in addition read and made valuable sug gestions for four chapters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
