Beskrivelse

University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 1915, Studies in the Social Sciences No. 2, small 4to, private leatherback binding with four raised bands, gilt title and scarce decorations, minimal wear to bottom spine, a good, clean copy.

«It has been a practice of the United States government for a little more than a century to make land grants to the new states, either at the time of their admission to the Union or subsequently. If these grants had been unrelated they would scarcely be worthy of study, but they are bound up with one another in such a way that the land grants to one state can not be fully understood without a thorough study of all the preceding grants.»
