By Lewis Sergeant

Excerpt from The Government Year Book: A Record of the Forms and Methods of Government in Great Britain, Her Colonies, and Foreign Countries, 1888; With and Introduction on the Diffusion of Popular Government Over the Surface of the Globe

Tm: aim of the government year Boox - to put it into the fewest and simplest words - is to exhibit the principal forms and methods of government in each particular State, and then, having these facts laid down for ready reference and comparison, to review each year the most striking of contemporary events, and to note how they hinge upon or tend to modify political organizations. Where written Consti tutions exist they have been either quoted in their entirety or analysed; and the difl'erent Constitutions have been incidentally compared with one another. In the absence of a formal Constitution, greater stress has been laid upon the historical development of national institutions. The sole object throughout has been to furnish a compact and symmetrical account of the methods of government in various quarters of the world.
