Description
Excerpt from Primogeniture: A Short History of Its Development in Various Countries and Its Practical Effects
The book professes in the main to be a compilation, rather than original. The nature of the subj ect ren ders this almost a necessity and the method adopted of treating the subject by nations - makes a certain amount of repetition inevitable, which, however, it has been attempted readably to condense by cross references.
I have to add that in the last and more political chapter I have earnestly tried to preserve an impartial tone throughout the argument; and I trust it is not too much to hope, in this rather vituperative age, that if political opponents should think the matter worth notice, they will condescend to adopt the same moderate, even if unfashionable, course.
