Warren F. Hickernell would like to publish a translation of Ferdinand Lassalle’s “Essay on the Nature of a Political Constitution” and asks Theodore Roosevelt if he would like to advise him on the project. Hickernell is drawn to Lassalle’s work founding the Social Democratic Party of Germany while applying science to social reform. Hickernell believes Lassalle’s work can be applied directly to American history to support Lassalle’s theory.
