Overview
Public Opinion and Popular Government is a book written by Abbott Lawrence Lowell in 1913. The book explores the relationship between public opinion and democracy, arguing that public opinion is essential for the functioning of a democratic government. Lowell examines the various ways in which public opinion is formed, including the role of the press, political parties, and interest groups. He also discusses the potential dangers of public opinion, such as the tyranny of the majority and the manipulation of public opinion by powerful interests.

Overall, Public Opinion and Popular Government is a seminal work in the field of political science and a must-read for anyone interested in the workings of democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
