"This book is an attempt to explain to the non-American reader the characteristics of the American party system. And since this system grew out of the whole of American civilization, that it formed and matured with it, therefore in these considerations there will inevitably be numerous excursions into the broader regions of the life of the people of the United States. We will begin with a concise discussion of the history of American political parties." [from the introduction]
