Author Description

Excerpt from On the Road to Democracy But what is altogether inconceivable is that peo ple should wish to make the present Government responsible for the transgressions of its predeceesors. The Revolution itself is a natural consequence of those transgressions. Former Governments who knew not how to avert the Revolution, are responsible for the evils which it may have brought along with it; and if the Nation is to be saved, as it shall be, it will be due solely to those citizens who hitherto have been and hereafter will be ready to sacrifice them selves to so lofty and noble'a purpose. It is indeed only through personal sacrifice that it is possible to construct a true Fatherland. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
