The Elements of Politics

Henry Sidgwick

The State of the Text

The body of the text is complete up through the 20th chapter. The footnotes past the third chapter are not linked in as yet, nor are the cross reference links made. External references are made for the first three chapters but not for any subsequent chapter. This text is actively being worked on, so these defects will be remedied fairly soon, we hope.

The Source of the Text

This text was scanned in from the fourth edition of 1919 published by MacMillian and Company, London. That edition, as far as I can tell, however, is just a reprint of the third edition of 1908.
