"M Ostrogorski's work is a monument of scholarship and painstaking research, and a treasury of information of political conditions in Britain and in America that is alike amazing and invaluable The book is one that every publicist, every one desirous of acquainting himself with the growth and development of political conditions in the two great Anglo speaking nations of the world, should possess, for he cannot afford to remain in ignorance of this master work."—Marshal H. Bright.
