"The nature, scope, and methods of political science. Political science defined- writers on the subject have given various definitions of the term political science. These definitions, however, agree on the fact that political science treats of the phenomena of the state in its varied aspects and relationships; in short, that it begins and ends with the state. Among writers, a distinction has often been made between the term "theoretical" politics and the term "applied" or "practical" politics. Of them have been Jellinek, Holzendorff, Janet, Cornewall Lewis, Alexander Bain, and Sir Frederick Pollock. Chapter 1." --
