Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book examines the origin, evolution, and practice of the Electoral College. Relevant theories of representation are applied to the body in order to help readers understand how well the institution conforms to expectations regarding representation. Much confusion exists regarding the Electoral College. Whether one is discussing the 'original Electoral College' or the 'evolved Electoral College' has much to do with this confusion.This study pays particularattention to the role of the Electoral College in the 2016 election and provides the most exhaustive analysis of presidential electors to date. It finds a sizable audience of Republican electors considered not voting for Donald Trump when they met in December of 2016.

4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, aged and worn. A good long letter, full of content, thanking him for a presentation copy of his 'Translations from the Greek Anthology' (published without date in London by Nissen and Parker). He has perused most of Macgregor's translations 'with great pleasure, & several with a sentiment which the word pleasure too coldly expresses'. He has not 'examined them critically, comparing them minutely with the Greek text, in order to satisfy myself, whether the meaning of the Authors was faithfully rendered. I have thought it better, & more consonant with your professed design, to look at your translations from your own point of view, and judge whether you have clothed the spirit of the original in the dress, which the Authors themselves had they written not in Greek but in English, would probably have employed.' An interesting discussion of the difficulties of translating from Greek ('the most flexible of all languages') into English ('its structure singularly devoid of flexion') follows. He praises some of the work of the Greek and Roman poets as 'literary gems, polished to a finished perfection, & with a chaste beauty of setting which leaves nothing to be desired'. On the final page of the letter he has, as he explains, 'jotted down a few words phrases, & lines, which, by a careful elaboration, you may perhaps amend', although he considers that 'all in all your translation seems to me to be in general remarkably well, & sometimes felicitously rendered'.
