ABSTRACT
The Present Plight of the Study of Political Science. The endeavour of various kinds of scientists, anthropologists, psychologists, economists, jurisprudents, to annex to their own realm a middle province, the difficulties into which the attempt has led them, and the unsatisfactory nature of the provisional frontiers drawn, force upon the student the conviction that this middle province, of Politics, is a realm in its own right, at least as susceptible of scientific ordering as any of its neighbours, and one more likely to prosper if treated independently.
