博客來In ＂Saxon Tithing-Men in America,＂ Herbert Baxter Adams explores the historical roots of American civic institutions, tracing them back to the Saxon tithing system. This insightful work, originally presented before the American Antiquarian Society in 1881, examines how the ancient Anglo-Saxon model of local governance influenced the development of similar structures in the United States. Adams delves into the details of the tithing system, its functions, and its impact on community organization, providing a valuable perspective on the origins of American democracy and local self-governance. A significant contribution to early American historical scholarship, this book offers a unique lens through which to view the evolution of American society and its foundational principles.
