ARCHOLOGY 

Archology is a book title by S.V. Blakeslee from Oakland, California. He wrote that title in 1876. The meaning of 'Archology' is "The Science of Government.' 




Contents of Chapter I of the book above were:

  •  ARCHOLOGY
  • GOVERNMENT
  • ORIGIN OF GOVERNMENT
  • AIM OF GOVERNMENT
  • MANNER OF GOVERNMENT
  • LAW
The etymology of Archology is derived from two Greek words, "archo," mean "govern," and "logos," mean "science," its signification accords with the definition given. 

          "In the early literary period of ancient Greece, the chief magistrates of various           Greek city-states were called Archon. The term was also used throughout                 Greek history in a more general sense, ranging from "club leader"  to "master           of the tables" at syssitia to "Roman governor".  In Roman terms                                 archontes ruled by Imperium, whereas Basileis ("Kings") hadautoritas.                       (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

A noun use of the present participle of ἄρχειν (árkheinto rule). Related to Old Armenian արքունի (arkʿuni)արքայ (arkʿay).
Noun
ἄρχων  (árkhōnm (genitive ἄρχοντος); third declension
  1. ruler

Archon (Gr. ἄρχων, pl. ἄρχοντες) is a Greek word that means "ruler", frequently used as the title of a specific public office. It is the masculine present participle of the verb stem αρχ-, meaning "to rule", derived from the same root as monarch and hierarchy.



In Athens, the law was devised and enforced by magistrates (archai). (Ancient History Encyclopedia).
From all notes sources above, it is very clear and certain, that the existence of the science of government has long existed. In the introduction of the book S.V. Blakeslee he writes as quoted below,
"Thousands of volumes, scores of thousands, have been written upon the practice and enforcement of the law, as if an art; but, in the opinion of the writer, not properly one, on government, treated from a generic point of view, as a science. Only a few authors have suggested such a treatment as possible, while a specific name for it is not found in any civilized language. 
As an attempt to remedy this defect, by the development of a distinct science of government, the following  treatise has been prepared; but, as a pioneering effort, it has been made with much hesitation on the part of its author, through a conscious sense of its deficiencies incompleteness, and of imperfections in matter."
After I found written evidence and explanation then ended doubts about the Science of Government.
