_Order and Progress: Part I. Thoughts on Government; Part II. Studies of

_By Frederic Harrison, M.A. of Lincoln’s Inn._
_8vo. 14s._
‘We find from this book—a large part, and by far the more valuable
part, of which is new—that Mr. HARRISON has devoted careful attention
to what we shall call the constructive problems of political science.
Whoever has mistaken him for a commonplace Radical, either of the
Chartist or the Trades Unionist type, has been wrong.... The best
political thinkers for a quarter of a century or upwards have more or
less vaguely felt that one grand problem they had to solve was how our
governing apparatus may be made to yield good government; but we are
not aware that any writer has looked it more fully in the face, or
more carefully scanned it with a view to a solution, than Mr.
HARRISON.’
