Excerpt from The Origin and Development of Local Self-Government: In England and the United States
Recent investigations have shown that the Teutonic communities of freemen described by Caesar and Tacitus, and from which Montesquieu said the Eng lish borrowed their idea of political government, were substantially the same as the village communities found among other races at a certain stage in their social development. Traces of the institution are discoverable everywhere from China to Peru.
