Excerpt from The Yale Review, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Journal for the Scientific Discussion of Economic, Political and Social Questions, May, 1896, to February, 1897 The general principles of government or of law seem far more fit for school teaching than do those of political econ omy. They do not look quite so simple at first sight, because they are less purely deductive, but, perhaps for that very reason, the learner is less liable to be misled by them. Not only the description of governmental machinery, but the agen cies which form public Opinion and give effect to it can be made the subject of studies which are at once clear and prao. Tical. A little more knowledge of the relations between law and public sentiment, and of the mode in which public senti ment acts, would be an invaluable guide to our people in the exercise of the suffrage, and might protect us against dangers of over-legislation far more completely than we are likely to be protected by any study Of purely economic principles.
