JONES, SIR HENRY. Principles of citizenship. *$1.25 Macmillan 320
20–12226
“This little book is intended for the use of such men as attended the Y. M. C. A. lectures in the British army abroad. The purpose is to give a general view of the duties and rights of citizens; and the language is, therefore, simple and expressive. An initial distinction is drawn between two conceptions of the state. The non-moral idea is said to be German. Suggestions are then made as to the problem of individuality which are held to refute the pacifist.”—Int J Ethics
“The author of this book is amiable and high-minded, but seems out of place in the stern modern world, a belated Victorian.” B. R.

“Must irritate any reader who really looks for some kind of serious thought in Great Britain. Sir Henry Jones might quite decently have left Hegel in his grave instead of serving him up to the Y. M. C. A. by way of education for the British army. He ingeniously combines several fallacies in one. In the first place, what he calls the state is really the nation. In the second place, the ‘good life’ is no more the object of one nation than another, and when a league of nations is in being the ‘good life’ might be supposed to have an international flavour about it. In the third place, no nation is worth its salt if the forces of improvement do not originate with individuals but derive their origin and impulse from politicians and bureaucrats.”
