Excerpt from A Syllabus, or Abstract of a System of Political Philosophy
Should then the findy of the feveral important fubjeéts connected with political economy, as is here recommended, be once effectually introduced into the univerfity, and cultivated with fpirit and fuccefs, we might hope, at length, that it would be pofiible for gentlemen of fortune to experience other pleafures in a country refidence, than merely the enjoyment in their feafon of the diverfions of the field, and that the clergy may no longer be tempted to refide at a diftance from their country preferment, as inimical to every focial enjoyment, for which their minds had ever been prepared.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores how people should best be governed by those chosen to lead. It argues that there is no one 'best' system of government, and that the best type and style of leadership depends on the specific circumstances of each society and community. The author suggests neither an absolute monarchy nor strict democracy is universally ideal, but rather that these systems each have specific strengths and flaws which must be balanced in different contexts. The book also emphasizes the importance of education and open inquiry in politics. Put simply, better educated citizens can more ably elect leaders who are more effective in creating laws that suit the needs of their constituents. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in politics and the history of political thought.
