Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

THE studies here presented are the outgrowth of a paper read before
the Government Club of Harvard University in February, 1911. Some
of them have within recent months appeared, in substantially their
present form, in certain of the academic and legal journals. In the
preparation of the statistical material the author has made no use
of the current digests of deci sions, annotations to the
Constitution, nor of the indices to the Supreme Court Reports,
except by way of com parison of results. He has gone directly to
the body of the Reports and given each case a personal examination.
Much repetition will be found throughout the work. This may detract
from its logical unity, but it is hoped that it may serve some
purpose. The true nature of the Fourteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States is little known. The processes of
its operation are intricate and complex. This reiteration,
therefore, of certain salient features may not be amiss in serving
to render more familiar a subject that, al though not new
historically, has been scantily discussed. The author's thanks are
due to the editors of the following periodicals for the courtesy of
extending to him the copyright privileges for the use of the
material vii VUl PREFACE in the chapters mentioned below: The
American Law Review for Chapters V and VI; the Yale Law Journal for
Chapter VII; the Columbia Law Review for Chapter VIII; and the
South Atlantic Quarterly for Chapter X."
This is the first collection of the complete writings of Susanna Wesley, the mother of John, Charles, and Samuel Wesley, the founding fathers of Methodism. As an outstanding female figure of the seventeenth and eighteenth century, her writings should interest not only Methodists' but feminists and scholars of English social and religious history as well.
