Excerpt from National Governments and the World War The present volume is ofiered as an aid to the difiusion of this sort of knowledge and spirit. It deals mainly with com parative government and undertakes to show what the heritage and genius of the principal peoples lately engaged in the World War have meant in the shaping of contemporary political institu tions and ideas. It seeks also to describe the great changes wrought in governmental organization and procedure during the war, and to point out the major political problems that remain for settlement during the early years of peace.

Excerpt from Jay's Treaty and the Slavery Interests of the United States Of course the negroes thus carried away prior to the sign ing of the treaty of peace were irrecoverably lost to their masters. When the treaty was made, however, there were within the British camps a considerable number of negroes whom Laurens, by his suggested clause, hoped to save from deportation and ultimately restore to their owners. Sir Guy Carleton, successor to Clinton after the Yorktown surrender, when apprised of the treaty stipulation, assumed the ground that the negroes who had fled from their_masters were no longer to be considered property of the American inhabit ants, and, besides, that in assenting to the Laurens clause of the treaty it could not have been the intention of the Brit ish Government to reduce themselves to the necessity of violating their faith to the negroes who had come into the British lines under the proclamations of his predecessors in command. A The three commissioners appointed by Wash ington to be present at all embarkations of British tr00ps for the purpose of detecting and reporting Violations of the treaty were sometimes ignored, sometimes deceived, and sometimes prevented from even witnessing the lading of the ships; so that the carrying away of the negroes went steadily on until the last of the British had taken their departure.

The Governments of Europe by Frederic Austin Ogg It is a matter of common observation that during the opening years of the twentieth century there has been, in many portions of the civilized world, a substantial quickening of interest in the principles and problems of human government. The United States is happily among those countries in which the phenomenon can be observed, and we have witnessed in recent times not only the organization of societies and the establishment of journals designed to foster research within the field, but also a notable multiplication and strengthening of courses in political science open to students in our colleges and universities, as well as the development of clubs, forums, extension courses, and other facilities for the increasing of political information and the stimulation of political thinking on the part of the people at large. It is the object of this book to promote the intelligent study of government by supplying working descriptions of the governmental systems of the various countries of western and central Europe as they have taken form and as they operate at the present day. Conceived and prepared primarily as a text for use in college courses, it is hoped none the less that the volume may prove of service to persons everywhere whose interest in the subject leads them to seek the sort of information which is here presented. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.

editor historian journalist political scientist
Frederic Austin Ogg was born on February 8, 1878, in Solsberry, Indiana, the son of William R. Ogg, a farmer, and Sarah S. Law Ogg. His three uncles, all schoolteachers, set an example that both he and his sister followed.
In 1895 Ogg entered DePauw College, where he was admitted to Phi Beta Kappa and received the Ph. B. in 1899. The following year he received the A. M. from Indiana University.
In 1904 Frederic received the A. M. in history and in 1908, the Ph. D. at Harvard College.
Ogg began his teaching career as an instructor in history at Indianapolis Manual Training High School (1900 - 1902), then at Indiana University (1902 - 1903). Then Ogg went to Harvard for further graduate work in history. While working for the doctorate he taught history at Boston University, Simmons College, and Harvard. His first postdoctoral appointment was at Simmons, where he was assistant professor (1909 - 1913) and associate professor (1913 - 1914) of history. During these years a new discipline, political science, was developing in the colleges, attracting many scholars who had received advanced degrees in history. When the University of Wisconsin offered Ogg an associate professorship in political science in 1914, he moved back to the Midwest and into the new discipline. In 1917 he was promoted to a full professorship in political science. Ogg also served in many administrative positions at the university; for many years he was chairman of the political science department, chairman of the graduate division of social studies, and chairman of the curriculum committee of arts and letters. In 1941 Ogg was elected president of the American Political Science Association.
Ogg's national reputation was based largely on his writing and editing. He was a prodigiously hard worker. Even before he received the Ph. D. he had written more than three dozen articles for such popular magazines as Chautauquan, New England Magazine, Harper's Weekly, World's Work, World Today, and Review of Reviews. The articles dealt with current politics in Great Britain, Russia, the Far East, Europe, and the United States. The press of editorial duties stemmed this flow of articles after 1916, but he nevertheless produced more than sixty articles. Ogg wrote or edited seventeen major books, several of which were frequently revised. His most widely read books were his political science texts. Several generations of students learned about American government from either Introduction to American Government (written with P. O. Ray; first edition, 1922) or Essentials of American Government (written with P. O. Ray; first edition, 1932), which were noted for clarity of style and accuracy. This was an era in which political science placed considerable emphasis on descriptive factual material, and Ogg's books were veritable encyclopedias of information.
As an editor Ogg had a great influence on the development of political science. From 1916 to 1926 he served on the editorial board of American Political Science Review, and from 1926 to 1949 he was its managing editor. He was also editor of some thirty volumes of the Century Political Science series. Editing the Review, according to his colleagues, was that "part of his career which was nearest to his heart. " As editor he was in contact with political scientists both in the United States and abroad. He performed his duties almost single-handedly, with only a part-time secretary to help, but under him the Review grew in circulation from 1, 586 to 5, 140 and set the standard of scholarship for the discipline. Ogg disdained teaching undergraduate courses for which he had written textbooks, so much of his time was occupied with graduate instruction. When Ogg retired from active teaching, fifteen of his former students published The Study of Comparative Government (1950) in his honor. After he died in Madison, Wisconsin, his colleagues drafted a memorial resolution as a tribute to his career.

Quotations: Late in his teaching career Ogg wrote an article in which he urged "the importance for teachers of political science of strong civic conviction and high moral purpose. " He noted that while "it is not our business to be missionaries or crusaders, we are, after all, in a special sense, custodians and conservators of the national faith without whose preservation most of our work might as well not be done. "
Frederic Ogg was president of the American Political Science Association (1941).
Frederic Ogg was regarded by his students and colleagues as a warm and kindly man who was seriously concerned with their welfare and their careers. He was patient but firm in his scholarly demands upon those who studied under him.
On September 9, 1903, Frederic Ogg married Emma Virginia Perry of Shelbyville, Indiana; they had no children.
