ABSTRACT
I find that the people of this country are strangely at a loss to determine the nature of their government. Some have insisted that it savors of an aristocracy; others maintain that it is a pure democracy; and a third set of theorists declare that it is nothing more nor less than a mobocracy. (Yet) the simple truth of the matter is, that their government is a pure unadulterated logocracy, or government of words—Washington Irving 1
