Book Description
Excerpt from The Origin of the English Constitution It is hardly necessary to point out to Americans that the history of the origin of the English Constitu tion is our history as much as it is the history of living Englishmen. Our institutional past until near the close of the seventeenth century is to be found in England alone. This f act the history of the seven teenth century shows clearly enough, f or if one will stu dy the constitutional innovations attempted or advocated during the period of Puritan rule, when the constitutional life of England abandoned for a moment all connexion with the monarchy, he will see how natural it seemed to the nation to turn to a sur prising number of the political expedients which in our government seem departures from the English system. When Englishmen at home broke with their own institutional precedents, and began to make a republic, it was to things of this kind that their minds were naturally led, as if they had been trained to them.

Book Description
Excerpt from The English Constitution: A Commentary on Its Nature and Growth In the introductory chapter, the statement is made that one object of the book is to enable American readers to gain a better knowledge of the American government. It may be an advantage to some readers for me to add that Part I. Was prepared specifically in order that Americans might be able to read with greater profit Bryce's The American Common wealth. To fully appreciate that great work, the American needs to be well grounded in English politics. He must know the present Constitution in its theory and in its practice. Part II. Is designed to answer certain questions often raised in an attempt to understand the present English Constitution. Americans should never forget that, until the founding of the colonies, English history is our history. Nor should they fail to remember that for a hundred years after, there was a per sistent effort to establish in England a government according to what would now be called the American model, - that is, a government based upon an artificial constitution whereby the Legislature and the Executive should be balanced one against the other. It was not until the coming in of the House of Hanover, in 1715, that English constitution-making became of a distinctly different character.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the English Constitution The History of the Constitution of England has hitherto only been written with regard to the Middle Ages, and separate centuries since the Reformation. In venturing to draw a picture of the thousand years' Constitutional History of such a nation, I must necessarily begin with an apology in order to explain the shortcomings and inequalities of my work, and in some measure to justify them in the eyes of the benevolent reader.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Making of the English Constitution, 449-1485 The emphasis throughout has been upon evolution rather than upon description. The purpose has been to furnish a logically satisfying account of the genesis of each institution as far as present knowledge permits - to show exactly how it has become what it is. This has made it necessary to hold steadfastly to a given line of argument and to shun many alluring, and perhaps profitable, bypaths; while, on the other hand, it has sometimes entailed an apparent interruption of the theme in order to develop a line of thought needed for logical completeness. More time has been spent upon origins than upon descriptions of finished products or upon definitions, in the belief that students should obtain much from detailed and special works which would clog a general account of institutional development.
