An American Politician is a novel written by F. Marion Crawford that tells the story of John Harrington, a young and ambitious politician from a wealthy family who is determined to make a name for himself in the world of politics. John is a charismatic and intelligent man who is well-liked by many, but he soon discovers that the world of politics is not as straightforward as he thought it would be.As John rises through the ranks of government, he must navigate through the corrupt and cutthroat world of politics, where alliances are constantly shifting and betrayals are common. He must also contend with personal demons, including his own ambition and his complicated relationship with his fianc�����e, Alice.The novel is set in the late 19th century and provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of American politics during that time. It explores themes of power, corruption, and morality, and offers a nuanced portrait of a man who is both driven and flawed.Overall, An American Politician is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that will appeal to readers who enjoy political dramas and historical fiction.''Mr. John Harrington has made a great discovery. He has discovered that we require a Civil Service. This is apparently the ground on which he states himself to be a Democrat. If we remember rightly, the Civil Service Convention, which sat in discussion of the subject in the summer of 1881, was presided over by a prominent member of the Republican party. As some time has elapsed since then, and the gentlemen connected with the movement are as active and as much interested in it as ever, our orator will pardon us for questioning his right of discovery on the one hand, and his claim to be considered a Democrat on the strength of it, on the other.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
