Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Governance of England A re-touched portrait is seldom a satisfactory production. It is a fact I have bad to keep in mind in preparing for the press this new edition of a book first published more than nine years ago. Such fidelity to the original as the sketch may hare possessed when executed might be lost in the attempt to make it a register of all the changes which time has wrought upon the features of the subject. The task would be one of peculiar difficulty at the present moment; for my revised edition is called for, as it happens, while the structure of our polity is undergoing a process of reconstruction still incomplete. With the ultimate form and powers of the Upper Chamber in suspense, and with the revolution in the government of Ireland impending but undecided, it would be futile to pass a definite judgment on transitory developments which must eventually assume a more definite and tangible shape. And so, while drawing some fresh illustrations and arguments from the events of the past few years, I prefer to leave this book as, in the main, an account of the "working constitution" of the United Kingdom in the opening decade of the twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Governance of England: Otherwise Called the Difference Between an Absolute and a Limited Monarchy This connexion of the work with the history of the time I have endeavoured to draw out, by bringing together from contemporary authorities whatever seemed to illustrate the meaning of the author. The closeness of the connexion is shown by the fact, more than once pointed out in the notes to the present edition, that the language of Fortescue is often identical with that of the public documents of the period. And this in turn illustrates another point of some importance to which I have also drawn attention; the fact namely that Fortescue, first of medieval political philoso phers, based his reasonings mainly on observation of exist ing constitutions, instead of merely copying or commenting on Aristotle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Certaine Considerations Upon the Government of England Continental works of the greatest note were not then easily obtained, and even when picked up by the travelling Englishman were only to be purchased at a high rate, and at imminent risk of miscarriage in the transport to this country. Above all, historical studies were but in their infancy: nor had the zeal and labour of successive genera tions of scholars yet established that critical apparatus, without which so many problems in chronology and philolog y would still remain unsolved.

Download or read book The Government of England National Local and Imperial Classic Reprint written by David Duncan Wallace and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of England, National, Local, and Imperial I have attempted to describe the English government as it is without distracting the reader with a long account of how it came to be what it is. Moreover, I have avoided the common habit of first describing the government as it is supposed to be in theory and then following this with an equally detailed account explaining that it is not really this, but something very different. The reader will observe too that I have all along kept in mind the resemblances and contrasts between the government of England and that of our own country, not only because of the interest in such a parallel, but because of the practical lessons which it supplies. I hope that the book may find a serviceable place in college classes where the time at command, as is frequently the case, is too limited for an extended treatment of so large a subject as the British government. The general reader desiring a brief, untechnical account of the British government will also doubtless find it a convenient handbook.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of England: Its Structure and Its Development The English Constitution forms a part of the Common Law. Our government by King, Lords, and Commons, the mutual relations of these several powers, our Constitution courts of law and of equity, our great offices of State, are all, and from their earliest rudiments have been, known to the law, and recognized by it. Obvious as this proposition now appears, it has not always been followed in practice; even yet, perhaps, it sometimes is not thoroughly understood. To the ingenious inventors of paper constitutions in the last century the unwritten traditions of our political system supplied a favourite subject for sarcasm and contempt. These politicians could not believe in any system of polity which was not expressed in words and figures; where there was no delicate adjustment of powers, and where the right of men to cashier their rulers was not prominently set forth. But the law of political conditions, like the law of property or the law of obligations, or any other portion of our jural system, needs not the formal statement of a code. "That ancient collection of unwritten maxims and customs," of which this branch of our law forms a part, has its own inherent vitality. It is no subtle contrivance of human art, but is one of the forms in which national life is manifested. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Constitutional histories are usually left un read, partly because they are long, ' partly because they generally contain a great deal of matter which the ordinary reader does not want to know, and partly because their arrange ment is such that it is difficult to pick out exactly the information that is sought.

Download or read book Local Government in England Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Josef Redlich and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government in England, Vol. 1 of 2 This book is the result of studies, prosecuted for many years, concerning the development of the domestic politics of England during the nineteenth century. What remains to be said of the origin and plan of the book, besides the explanations given in the introductory chapter, is mainly of a personal character. When I came the first time to the shores of England, more than ten years ago, it was as a student of English Law and Constitution entirely imbued with the ideas and judgments which the great German jurist and scholar, Rudolf von Gneist, had expressed in the many legal and political writings of his long career. But soon I discovered that those writings were not only in many ways obsolete, having been long passed by current practice and by modern legislative reforms, but also that the general idea of the modern political history of England, as given by Gneist, stood in inexplicable contradiction to the real development and the true nature of political facts. These first impressions have been strengthened by incessant study in England itself, until out of my doubts of the theories and judgments of Gneist there has resulted a view of modern English politics, independent of, and in essence opposed to, those views of Gneist which have so constantly been accepted as authoritative by continental learning. Here I have not to explain or justify a view which must rather be justified by the book itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political Future of England This is a question very generally asked on the Continent, and Which even in England cannot but agitate many a heart. But apart from either the speculations of rivalry or the ap prehensions of patriotism, there is a third class of observers With Whom the question is of still higher and more universal interest. With every one (too few, alas! In number) Who still professes any respect for the liberties of mankind and the dignity of human nature, there cannot be a subject of more anxious, more vital solicitude, than the future fate of England, hitherto the greatest example and guarantee of both.

Download or read book The Government of the British Empire Classic Reprint written by Edward Jenks and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the British Empire It is, perhaps, needless to say, that this book is not intended to compete with the standard works on the Constitution which have been produced by eminent writers, such as the late Sir William Anson, the late Bishop Stubbs, or Professor Dicey, happily still with us. Still less does it claim to rival the classical monographs on the various aspects of the Constitution which are the work of experts in the strict sense. It is written only in the hope that those who have not yet the leisure, or who have not yet arrived at the age, to appreciate these larger works, will be enabled by it to look forward to that advantage at a later date. And the immediate prospect of a largely increased electorate, combined with the great stimulus of interest in problems of government produced by the war, would seem to make that hope reasonable. For the many defects of the book, the writer will not apologize; for lie knows that critics best able to appreciate the difficulty of writing it, will be the readiest to forgive them. He will merely deprecate the suggestion that the book is a "precis" of larger treatises. So far as it goes, it is original both in plan and execution, and from first-hand material. For neither plan nor execution is any one but the writer responsible. Nevertheless, it is the waiter's keen pleasure, as well as his bounden duty, to tender his grateful thanks to those acquaintances and friends who have been ungrudging with their help on the matters upon which he has appealed to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from England's Case Against Home Rule Three months have elapsed since the first publication of this book. The period is short, but meanwhile events have occurred which strengthen two at least of the posi tions maintained in England's Case against Home Rule.' The Gladstonian constitution, I contended, failed to fulfil the conditions which it was meant to satisfy. That this is so is all but admitted even by Home Rulers. The defence of the Gladstonian constitution has been' abandoned, if not by its author, at least by his followers. Few indeed are the eulogies which since the dissolution of Parliament have been pronounced by the advocates of Home Rule on the Government of Ireland Bill. Criticism' has not missed its mark; the vital defects of the measure pressed last summer on the acceptance of Parliament have' been made patent to all the world. Throughout my statement of the case against Home Rule the opinion is maintained that the discontent of the: Irish people is due far more to agrarian than to political causes.
