ALS, 1917 March 18 : New York, to John W. Williams.

Lawyer and author of many books on law, diplomacy and history, Moore here writes: "There can be no doubt that there has taken place during the past fifty-six years an enormous development of Executive Power. The lines of the Constitution have been almost wholly abandoned." Moore refers to his book, "Four Phases of American Development: Federalism, Democracy, Imperialism, Expansion," in which he says the growth of presidential authority is traced.

8 p. ; 17.5 x 11.5 cm.
