Excerpt from The Old English Country Squire In his previous books the writer has sketched the characters of the Old-time Parson and the Parish Clerk, and he has thought it well to complete the Trilogy by a study of the Squire, the central figure of rustic life in each age and generation. He trusts that the numerous readers who have shown their interest in his previous portraits of old-world characters, will deign to scan the pleasing features of this "fine old English gentleman," admire his noble qualities, and find some amusement in his humorous whimsicalities and eccentricities. The race of squires is fast disappearing. Everywhere estates are being broken up and sold to the highest bidder, and the squire is compelled to leave the old manor-house which has sheltered him and his ancestors for many generations. Hence this book appears opportunely, and we are only just in time to catch a glimpse of the venerable gentleman before the auctioneer's hammer falls, and the last load of his old time-worn furniture is carted away.

John T. Flynn was an early New Dealer who quickly saw what happens when power is concentrated in the executive state. He became a passionate opponent of FDR and his policies. This 1940 book is his analysis of the American presidency and the place of FDR in it. It sheds light on how he came to power and kept it through all those years of declining liberty and rising statism. This volume had a big impact on the growing anti-FDR movement at the time, and continues to be sought after as an important study in the history of the presidency. Hilariously, it sits on the bookshelf at FDR's "Little White House" in Georgia, in the living room where FDR vacationed. Maybe some tour guide has a good sense of humor!
