This book is a fascinating glimpse into the intellectual and cultural landscape of America during the late 1800s. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, literature, or politics.Honestus walked quietly home, perceiving that the result of his practical effort to discharge the primary duties of a citizen was that Sly, one of the most disreputable and dishonest of public sharks, had been nominated by a committee of which he was chairman, and that the whole weight of the name of Honestus was thrown upon the side of rascality with a diamond pin. And he reflected that in politics, as elsewhere, it is necessary to begin as early in preparation for action as the rascals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
