<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Churchill once said that "democracy is the worst form of government except for all others..." and in <em>Popular Government</em>, Henry Sumner Maine answers him 60 years in advance with "...unless you examine any part of history at all."</p><p><br></p><p>In this book, one of the greatest legal minds of the 19^th century applies to the question of governance the historical method that made him famous in his <em>Ancient Law</em>. No faction-anarchist, legitimist, nationalist, Jacobite-escapes his penetrating gaze, nor does any democratic vice. But Maine is no partisan, and in the fourth and final essay, he gives a fair and thorough critique of the jewel in the democratic crown-the US constitution.</p><p><br></p><p>In an age where democracy has never been more fragile, Maine's clear-eyed analysis has never been more relevant.</p>
