Excerpt from Life and Writings of Governor Charles Henry Hardin This book is prepared from a sense of duty and love for its subject. Charles H. Hardin. His long, successful and useful life on earth is ended; his birth into the eternal life begun. We cannot penetrate beyond the veil that hides him from our View, but on the inner Spirit shines a light from heaven, revealing the glories of that bright realm where now he has his home. This light comes to us in the words of our blessed Savior, Because I live, ye shall live also His words, then, which are Spirit and life, assure us that our dear departed one is not dead, but alive with Him. But there remains a duty for us to discharge, to perpetuate his memory; to chronicle some Of the events of his long, laborious life. Many friends request a memorial to be prepared, and it is right to record in a book, a life spent in the service of his country. Thomas Carlyle thus speaks: The articulate, audible voice of the Past, when the body and material substance of it has altogether vanished like a dream, lies as in magic preserva tion, in the pages of books.

A two-volume study of political thought from the late thirteenth to the end of the sixteenth century, the decisive period of transition from medieval to modern political theory. The work is intended to be both an introduction to the period for students, and a presentation and justification of a particular approach to the interpretation of historical texts. Quentin Skinner gives an outline account of all the principal texts of the period, discussing in turn the chief political writings of Dante, Marsiglio, Bartolus, Machiavelli, Erasmus and more, Luther and Calvin, Bodin and the Calvinist revolutionaries. But he also examines a very large number of lesser writers in order to explain the general social and intellectual context in which these leading theorists worked. He thus presents the history not as a procession of 'classic texts' but are more readily intelligible. He traces by this means the gradual emergence of the vocabulary of modern political thought, and in particular the crucial concept of the State.
