A STUDY OF

THE IMPERIAL REPUBLIC

BY

BECKLES WILLSON

"If you have an Empire you will have an Emperor, not perhaps in the
Old World form of a man crowned and sceptred, yet in the shape of a
centralized and practically autocratic power."-GOLDWIN SMITH.

"Continual sweeping changes cannot but be disastrous ; but where
needs shift rapidly as they do here, where we often live in one year what
Europe does in ten, we need reapplication of established principles to changed
conditions."-THEODORE ROOSEVELT, September 22nd, 1902.

̓Αλλὰ μὴν, ἦν δ' ἐγὼ εἷς ἐχανὸς γενόμενος, πόλιν ἔχων πειθομένην
ταῦτ ̓ ἐπιτελέσαι τὰ νῦν ἀπιστουμένα.-PLATO, Rep. VI.
