Government of USA

Monro has produced a text that in many respects is a decided improvement upon its predecessors. It is perhaps the most readable exposition of American system of government since Bryce’s memorable volumes. The book is the best planned of all texts on American government from the standpoint of teaching. The separate treatment of structure and functions, the arrangement of material in shorter and more homogeneous chapters, the use of guide notes in the margins, are some of the more obvious merits by way of organization. The write preserves, on the whole, a nice balance in the distribution of space. Particularly commendable is his exposition of the much neglected judicial system at greater length than usual. Further, he gives a more extended treatment of the individual rights and immunities than it has been the custom to include in general texts.
