Synopsis

""On The Position Of A Constitutional Governor Under Responsible Government"" is a book written by Alpheus Todd in 1878. The book deals with the role of a constitutional governor in a responsible government. It examines the nature of the relationship between the governor and the government, and how it should be managed to ensure effective governance. Todd argues that the governor should be a neutral figure who acts as a mediator between the government and the people. He also discusses the powers and responsibilities of the governor, and how they should be exercised in a responsible manner. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the workings of government and the role of a constitutional governor in a responsible government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

But if this were all that we had a right to expect from a Governor, would be quite insuflB.cient to justify the pre-eminence which is attached his office, as a Representative of the Crown. Without underrating for noment the incalculable advantages which society and the state derive ni the fulfilment of the diities above enumerated, by men in exalted sit ions, assisted by the ladies of their household such ceremonial obsernces and festivities might, without much loss of dignity or efficiency, assigned to Cabinet ministers, and other prominent officers of govern3nt, of adequate rank and fortune. The Governor of a British dependency, howeve,r, within the limits escribed by his Commission, is essentially a political officer: and the cessity for his office must be estimated according to the gravity and portance of the duties allotted to him in the body politic. If his duties that relation are mainly formal, and his political functions of sma
