About This Item
Neatly underlined passages in the first 120 pages. Binding is clean, tight, and square. Some foxing on the top of the text block and small stain on the top of text block fore edge. Previous owner's name on the top front inside binding. From the Editor's Foreword, " 'The basic institutions of American government and the prevailing philosophy of today were shaped in large measure during the colonial period.' With this striking summary statement Professor Nettels begins his chapter on government and religion, but its application will be recognized in every part and phase of his book; wherefore it is properly entitled 'The Roots of American Civilization.'
