The Conquest of the Philippines / Moorfield Storey & Marcial P. Lichauco ; Renato Constantino, series director. - xii, 274 pages 22 cm.

This book has been prepared in order to lay before the people of the United States the facts relating to the conquest of the Philippines. The government of the United States rests upon the self-evident truths that "all men are created equal," that is, with equal political rights, and that "governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed," or, in the words of Abraham Lincoln, --"No man is good enough to govern another without that other's consent. I say this is the leading principle--the sheet anchor of American republicanism." --From the preface


Spanish-American War, 1898.
