First published in 1914, in various writings on German life and institutions, Dawson has touched upon isolated aspects of the subject of municipal government. The book, as its title explains, is concerned solely with questions of urban administration, yet without the limitation which the use of the word "municipal" might seem to suggest. The larger German cities and towns correspond for all practical purposes to the municipalities of the United Kingdom, as the smaller German towns correspond to the urban districts.

Excerpt from Municipal Life and Government in Germany Several facts should emerge definitely and clearly from this story of the life and government of German towns if it has been told successfully. One is the far wider range of administrative powers which the German towns possess and exercise as compared with the towns - even the large incorporated cities - of the United Kingdom. This fact is illustrated by almost every chapter, and need not be enlarged upon in this place, but municipal workers will find the fact itself, and still more its explanation, deserving of more than passing thought. If it be true that the average English citizen has little idea of the degree to which the authorities which govern him are bound fast in legal fetters, it must also be confessed that these authorities themselves show a strange disposition to accept their fate as natural and inevitable. In the development of its system of urban government Germany followed principles so elastic and so accommodating that its municipalities have been able to cope with their growing responsibilities with surprising ease and facility. Impressed by the' larger autonomy enjoyed by German towns, I have even dared to ask the question, whether in this country - the proverbial home of free institutions - we yet really understand what true self-government means? The reader must answer that question for himself after weigh ing the evidence offered for his guidance. Stress has also been laid on the important and almost dominant position occupied in German local government by the permanent official and expert. In emphasising its respect for systematic training and special knowledge in that domain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Municipal Administration in Germany: As Seen in the Government of a Typical Prussian City, Halle A/S It may fairly enough be taken as a type of the modern, rapidly developing German city of medium size. Its financial, governmental, economic, social, sanitary, and educational prob lems have been those of an old city, with a style of building, habits of life, and standards of public comfort characteristic of the eighteenth century, which has suddenly had to face all the embarrassments growing out of a rapidly increasing population, with an ever more imperative demand for all the modern improvements of City life. It has had to adjust itself to the new conditions under a form of government which was established in its outlines in the early part of this century, at the time of the Stein and Hardenberg reforms - somewhat modified about 1830, and again in 1853, but since that time remaining practically unchanged. It would be difficult to find an American city growing from in 1850 to in 1900, which has not changed its form of government a half-dozen times. It will be of interest, therefore, to examine this scheme of governmental organiza tion, which, adopted for a small City, belonging essentially to the last century, has been found satisfactory for a modern City of the highest type.
