Excerpt from Alden's Citizen's Manual: A Text-Book on Government, for Common Schools The publishers of the Science of Government in connoo tion with American Institutions, - a work designed for Co] leges and High Schools, - have received abundant assurances, from various parts of the country, that the general introduction of the study of the science of government into common schools would follow the appearance of a text-book adapted to the wants and circumstances of common school teachers. The author was thus led to consult a number of intelligent and experienced teachers. Having possessed himself -of their views, which met his full approbation, he prepared a work, and submitted it to an able and successful teacher, who care fully revised every part of it, and made many valuable sug gestions. The work was then wholly te-written, and is now given to the public with the hope that it will meet the appro bation of common school teachers, and aid them in doing a work which no other class of men can do that of preparing the masses for intelligently exercising their rights as citizens of the Republic.
