‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
This little book comprises the four lectures given at Harvard by Prof. Thompson last year; I. General Principles. The Farmer. II. The Evidence of History. III. The Workingman. IV. Answers to Objections. The writer takes as the basis of his fundamental arguments the principle that commerce should be as little hampered as possible. From this he gives the teachings of the modern school of Protectionists. "The Evidence of History' is interesting in comparison with the work of Prof. Dunbar in the same line. The eloquence of the speaker is necessary to give force to the subject matter of the lecture on the Workingman. As a whole, the work makes the best use of the arguments at hand, but there is an element of sophisty in the treatment of the weaker points in the subject.
