Kerensky was, from all accounts, a perfect representative of this class, verbose and useless so far as practical reconstructive work was concerned.

And, what is most perplexing to the reconstructive critic, nothing in his correspondence remains to indicate the stages of his labour.

Taking advantage of this, certain political leaders began, about 1870, to demand a "general amnesty" or forgiveness for the rebels, and a stoppage of reconstructive measures by Congress.

Her views of parties were charitable and conciliatory, and her revolutionism more reconstructive than destructive.

They are the beginnings of what is quite conceivably a great and complex reconstructive effort.

I am gaining strength, however, and realize how complete the prostration was, and how radical the reconstructive processes had to be.
