Excerpt from The Connecticut Constitution At a time when much is said about the defects of our system of government, and the corrupt tendency so manifest in municipal, state, and national affairs is raising doubts as to the future of Republics, this work, which may be called a study in popular government, as affected by the exigencies of modern politics, is undertaken in the hope that it may tend to strengthen the faith of those who believe in government by the people, and that the people themselves can be depended upon to work for right and justice, whenever they fully understand and appreciate the situation.

Excerpt from Count the Cost: An Address to the People of Connecticut, on Sundry Political Subjects and Particularly on the Proposition for a New Constitution An attempt is now making in this State to change the vital principles of our government, to remove from office all our present rulers, and to introduce a new order of things. To these innovations the people are invited, allured and exhorted - To effect these objects no pains are spared - no exertions are omitted. An important question here arises, viz. Would the accomplish ment of the object be worth the cost -an individual who neither holds an office nor seeks one - who can have nothing in View but the maintenance of that order of things which shall most effectually promote public and private happiness, and who has the same interest in the welfare of society as the great body of his fellow citizens, re quests the dispassionate attention of the reader, while he considers this important subject. He will use no weapon but truth, and truth will be regarded by all except those who love darkness rather than light. To exhibit a correct View of the subject, it will be proper, first, to enquire into the present condition of Connecticut, and secondly, to examine the various plans or projects proposed for our adoption, and estimate the probable cost attending them. We can then in the third place form a just opinion of the propriety of the proposed changes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
