TAILIEUCHUNG - THE CULT OF INCOMPETENCE

Though it may not have been possible in the following pages to reproduce the elegant and incisive style of a master of French prose, not even the inadequacies of a translation can obscure the force of his argument. The only introduction, therefore, that seems possible must take the form of a request to the reader to study M. Faguet's criticism of modern democracy with the daily paper in his hand. He will then see, taking chapter by chapter, how in some aspects the phenomena of English democracy are identical with those described in the text, and how in others. | THE CULT OF INCOMPETENCE By EMILE FAGUET Of the French Academy TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH BY BEATRICE BARSTOW WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY THOMAS MACKAY NEW YORK E.

He will then see taking chapter by chapter how in some aspects the phenomena of English democracy are identical with those described in the text and how in others our English worship of incompetence moral and technical differs considerably from that which prevails in France. It might have been possible as a part of the scheme of this volume to note on each page by way of illustration instances from contemporary English practice but an adequate execution of this plan would have overloaded 2 the text or even required an additional volume. Such a volume impartially worked out with instances drawn from the programme of all political parties would be an interesting commentary on current political controversy and it is to be hoped that M.
