The Great Rehearsal. The Story of the Making and Ratifying of the Constitution of the United States.
Publisher: 1948, Viking Press, NY. Book club edition. xii, 336 p., index, plates; 22 cm. "The supporters of the Constitution in 1787 knew that they were planning a government only for the United States, but they believed their ex[periment would instruct and benefit all mankind. Their undertaking might be, though of course no one of them ever used the term, a rehearsal for the federal governments of the future. This story shows the arguments in action, not in a philosophic vacuum. The arguments are the story. Arguments must always be seen as actions if they are to reach through the minds of men to their hearts and habits." Stock# 20,476x. Cop.1: Tan cloth; no dj; good+.; cop. 2: BOMC Vg / dj good+.
