Excerpt from The Constitutional and Political History of the United States
I well know that this opinion, like many others I have expressed, will meet with decided and wide-spread contra diction. I think, however, that I may consider it as the best fruit of my labors during the twenty - three years which have elapsed since I began my studies for this work, that their results have met not only with rich recognition, but also with abundant and violent opposition. Contradiction and acquiescence have stimulated us to efforts of varying intensity, to which we are indebted for the amplification, clarification and deepening in many wavs of our historical knowledge. And I have reason to hope that my book has not yet ceased to be a working force in this respect.
