Our National Bane Or The Dry Rot In American Politics

""Our National Bane Or The Dry Rot In American Politics: A Tract For The Times Touching Civil Reform"" is a book written by George Lewis Prentiss in 1877. The book discusses the corruption and decay present in American politics at the time and argues for the need for civil reform. Prentiss argues that the country's political system is plagued by a ""dry rot"" that is eating away at its foundations, and that this rot is caused by a lack of moral integrity among politicians and a failure to uphold the principles of democracy. He also suggests various reforms that could be implemented to address these issues, including the establishment of an independent civil service and the adoption of more transparent and accountable practices. Overall, ""Our National Bane"" is a passionate call to action for those who care about the future of American democracy and the role that politics plays in shaping it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
