Excerpt from The Origin of Republican Form of Government: In the United States of America
The reasons why the people in the thirteen American colonies, when they dissolved their connection with Great Britain, adopted as their form of polity a Democratic Republic, are usually taken for granted and accepted as a matter of course. I have nowhere been able to find more than a passing allusion to this important subject. During the winter of 1883-4, I delivered two lectures, one in the city of New York and the other before the Long Island Historical Society in the city of Brooklyn. The interest awakened by these lectures induced me to further investigate the subject and embody the result in a more permanent form. That this little treatise is exhaustive of the subject is not claimed, but some facts are presented which I trust may be deemed worthy of consideration.

The author traces the influence of these ideas on the development of republicanism in the colonies and the eventual adoption of a republican form of government in the United States. The book provides a unique perspective on the origins of American democracy, highlighting the role of religious and Hebraic influences in shaping the nation's political institutions.
