The Development of English Institutions :an attempt briefly to set forth the main results of modern historical research, in a form acceptable to the general reader. In the growing specialisation of the present day it is apparently inevitable that the conclusions reached by the student should commonly be accepted by the public not merely on authority but at second hand. To do justice to the admirable works of those writers who in recent years have made the study of English history into a science is necessarily too weighty a task for the reader lacking leisure or opportunity to give the subject his undivided attention. Yet it is my belief that to very many such readers the historical conceptions resulting from this scientific investigation possess or might possess a great attraction ;greater indeed than that of the picturesque personal details which rightly form a part of any exhaustive historical narrative, but which in themselves are somewhat scanty food for the inquiring mind. This book, therefore, while presupposing a certain knowledge of what are commonly called the facts of English history, deals rather, as its title indicates, with the principles by the light of which alone these facts can really become intelligible.
