The Government and Laws of the United States: Comprising a Complete and Comprehensive View of the Rise, Progress, and Present Organization of the State and National GovernmentsA nnsnm to supply the demand of the masses of American citizens for a more thorough knowledge of -our government and laws, which has been greatly increased by the late civil war through which we have passed, is the only apology offered for presenting this book to the public at this time.

It is scattered through the ponderous volumes which fill our law libraries, costing thousands of dollars, which are en tirely inaccessible to the masses. It is there given in such form as not easily to be found, and often in language not easily understood. |
