Excerpt from History and Civil Government of Louisiana This volume, it will be seen, embraces a sketch of the history of Louisiana, a detailed description of its pres ent government, and a briefer but fairly Comprehensive description of the Federal government. It is believed' that in the public and the private schools Of this State there is need of such a work. It is true that Civics is now taught in some of our high schools; but no work has been previously published with so full an account of the present composition and working of the town, city, parish, and central departments of the government of Louisiana. This portion Of the book is based upon the recent. Constitution (1898) and upon the most important acts. Of the General Assembly that are now in force. It is hoped that this portion of the work will prove Of special interest and value not only to youthful students, but also to many adult readers.
