Sir Henry Taylor's classic treatise The Statesman, originally
published in 1836, is the first modern book to be devoted to the
subject of public administration. It has been read and studied by
generations for its keen insights into the relationship between
public administrators and elected officials in a democracy. It has
also been appreciated for its wit. The present volume is the first
twentieth-century edition to be based on the revised and expanded
text that Taylor published in 1878 as part of his Collected Works.
It is also the first edition to be fully annotated. The lengthy
editors' introduction to this volume emphasizes the relevance of
Taylor's thought to the fundamental issues of public administration
in the contemporary United States. The editors demonstrate the
superiority of Taylor's understanding of the relationship between
politics and administration to the widely accepted model of that
relation that derives from the thought of Woodrow Wilson. Above
all, they argue, Taylor's insights merit our attention because they
indicate how a properly organized civil service can be a locus of
statesmanship in a democracy, fulfilling the intentions of the
authors of the American Constitution in a contemporary context that
differs significantly from what the Founders themselves
anticipated.
