1911. Part One of Two. Bryce, British historian, statesman, and diplomat, wrote significant works in several fields; the first of these was his History of the Holy Roman Empire. He served as ambassador to the United States and the vast knowledge he gained of Americans is revealed in his writings. His interest in sociology and philosophy is evident in the second of his great treatises, The American Commonwealth, a classic that is still read and used. The Contents of this volume are divided into the following two headings: The National Government and The State Governments. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
