Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the History of the Science of Politics This Essay was delivered as a course of lectures at the Royal Institution in 1882, and shortly afterwards published as a series of articles in the Fortnightly Review. For some time I hoped that I should be able to expand the sketch thus produced into something more substantial. Other and more distinctly professional work, however, has occupied me since, and meanwhile the lectures have become current in America in an unauthorised reprint. It is now thought well that they should be collected by the writer's own hand. Only such revision has been undertaken as is consistent with preserving their original character; and I have not thought it needful to alter what I said in 1882 merely because, in the eight years that elapsed, others may have said the same things better or at greater length, or because I should myself put them somewhat differently if I were now expressing them for the first time.
