Book excerpt: Excerpt from America and Britain As an admirer of Great Britain, I have felt free to speak quite openly and have not allowed myself merely to indulge in pleasantries and oratorical adulation. I have referred without reserve to the prejudices and misunderstand ings of the past, which we hope are now laid definitely aside, and I have not shrunk from giving my own opinion of Britain's errors. If I seem to dwell on them too much, it is because I have desired not to give the appearance of avoiding disagreeable truths or what, at least, I deem to be truths. It is a privilege to speak in a frank and friendly way to a tolerant and kindly people. The article called the Background of American Federalism may be of interest at the present time when so many persons in Brit ain are discussing federalism, and if correct in its analysis of the disputes of the American Revolution - as I am confident after many years of study it is - it discloses, not only that the old British Empire is the source of the central principle of federalism, but also that the politi cal problem now holding the attention of Brit ish students and men of affairs is in its es sence of very long standing.
