Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Constitution of England: Or, an Account of the English Government: In Which It Is Compared Both With the Republican Form of Government the Other Monarchies in Europe The circumstance which suggested to the Editor his present undertaking was the presentation of a copy of this work, by one of his friends, to the youthful queen of Portugal, on the eve of her embarkation for Lisbon, in September last. The gift was accompanied by an address, in which her majesty was reminded that "De Lolme on the "Constitution of England deserved to be written in letters "of gold, and was worthy the consideration of every "crowned head in Europe." It occurred to the Editor, that no edition of the work, extant, conveyed an adequate idea of the present state of the English constitution; and that a new and extended edition would be considered a desideratum by all classes of the public. Editions of the work, since that published in 1784 which received the last corrections of the Author, have from time to time appeared, but the present is the only instance, it is believed, in which an editor has thought fit to attach to his supplemental notes the responsibility of his name. This may account for the many imperfections of those editions, not to insist on the glaring inaccuracies which abound in the notes to some of them.
