A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

These volumes, in the edition which I am now able to complete, are intended to remain what they originallypurported to be an introduction to the study of the Constitution. They were, in particular, designed for the assistance of students in the Oxford School of Jurisprudence; and this will explain the insertion of chapters more interesting perhaps to the Oxford student than to the general reader, chapters dealing with the relation of constitutional law to other branches of legal study, and with the history of the development of Parliament and the definition of Prerogative. I have sometimes found it difficult to write on the topics to which the remaining and larger part of the books is devoted, with sufficient fullness to convey a definite impression of their place in the general scheme of Government, yet not on such a scale as would destroy the proportions of my plan or would suggest that I am giving information which is more properly sought for in special treatises. Hence perhaps the reader may ask why, on some of these subjects, I have said so much; or why, having said so much, I have said no more. If I have induced him to seek for fuller knowledge I shall not have written in vain. Since these books were first written large additions have been made to the literature of the subject, especially to political history, which tells us so much of constitutional convention.
