Description
""Our National Bane Or The Dry Rot In American Politics: A Tract For The Times Touching Civil Reform"" is a book written by George Lewis Prentiss in 1877. The book is a critique of the political system in America during the late 19th century, which Prentiss believed was plagued by corruption and inefficiency. Prentiss argues that the root of the problem lies in the lack of a strong civil service system, which allows unqualified and corrupt individuals to hold important government positions. He also criticizes the spoils system, which rewards political supporters with government jobs, and calls for a merit-based system of hiring and promotion. Prentiss's book is a call to action for political reform and a warning about the dangers of corruption in government. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the political climate of America during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
