A Handbook To Political Questions Of The Day And The Arguments On Either Side

Excerpt from A Handbook to Political Questions of the Day: With the Arguments on Either Side That this book has been of use to many, by way of reference and help to the better understanding of political questions, I have often been assured; and it seemed to me, that, without infringing on the plan of the Ideas, there was room for a handbook on somewhat similar lines, which might be not altogether useless. Instead of the arguments being reduced to ideas, the arguments them selves, which govern each question, might be placed side by side, with the view of clearing the ground, and with the hope that some student of politics might be the better able to accept the true and reject the false, and so arrive at just conclusions.

Excerpt from A Handbook to Political Questions of the Day: And the Arguments on Either Side, With an Introduction This Handbook has been out of print for some years, but distaste to the unattractiveness of revision has delayed the preparation of a fresh edition. However, as the demand for the book continues, it seems well that a new edition should be issued. All the sections which appeared in the last edition have been carefully revised, and in some cases rewritten. Some new subjects have been added, notably the sections on "Preference," "Protection," and "Retaliation," which in former editions were somewhat perfunctorily lumped together into one short section. In order to find space for new matter, some few subjects which appeared in the last edition, but which seem now to be of less urgency or importance, have been omitted. The object of this Handbook is to give all the important arguments that can be, or are, advanced on either side on various political questions. In this I have endeavoured to be perfectly impartial. It is probable, however, that I have fallen short of entire impartiality; and no doubt some arguments have been overlooked.
