Excerpt from Democracy at the Crossways: A Study in Politics and History, With Special Reference to Great Britain This book embodies an attempt to apply the lessons of history and the principles of political science to some of the urgent practical problems of the present day. Although it has been written in a university library, and with constant reference to familiar authorities, it is not intended to be primarily an academic work. While the author hopes that its brief discussion of democratic theory, and its rapid survey of the history of democracy, may be not without value to students, his dominant desire is that it may be of service to the practical politician, to the man-in-the-street, and above all to the new electorate prior to its fateful first entry into the polling-booth. He trusts that it may do something to render fundamental issues clear ; to mark out the straight way of political progress; and to set up warning notices at the entrance of seductive but dangerous crossways. It will be manifestly evident to readers of the book - if any such there be - that the writer holds no brief for either of the two political parties, or for any of the recently formed groups, into which the representatives of the British democracy are divided.
