The purpose of this book is to put before the student of politics
and the general reader an overall conspectus of the sources from
which political ideas took their origin. The author, who is an
acknowledged international authority on the subject and who over
many years of intensive research has acquired an intimate
familiarity with the material, makes his specialised knowledge
available to the non-specialist. The book traverses ground that is
virtually uncultivated, and it does so in an exciting way - by
taking the reader into the chanceries of governments, of public
organs and functionaries, and into the lecture halls of the great
scholars in the universities. It shows upon what presuppositions
publicists, litterateurs, government advisers, scholars and learned
writers have proceeded to arrive at their political views. This
variegated mass of material is here comprehensively presented.
