This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of the English Constitution In 1848 I prepared and published a small pamphlet, called "The d104-Book of the Constitution," in which were arranged the texts of Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, and the Bill of Rights, with historical comments, and with remarks on the People's Charter and other political topics of that year. Independently of its politics, that pamphlet has been found useful as an historical compilation; but the extent to which its latter pages were occupied with political discussions, made me unwilling either to employ it myself or to see it employed by others in education. I do not wish to disavow any of the opinions which I expressed in it, but a teacher of History has no right to avail himself of the position in which he stands towards his pupils, for the purpose of training up broods of young Tories, Whigs, or Radicals, according to his own party predilections. I therefore intended to prepare an edition of that little treatise, which should deal only with the Past, and in which the spirit of party pamphlet should be entirely got rid of.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin of the English Constitution It is hardly necessary to point out to Americans that the history of the origin of the English Constitu tion is our history as much as it is the history of living Englishmen. Our institutional past until near the close of the seventeenth century is to be found in England alone. This f act the history of the seven teenth century shows clearly enough, f or if one will stu dy the constitutional innovations attempted or advocated during the period of Puritan rule, when the constitutional life of England abandoned for a moment all connexion with the monarchy, he will see how natural it seemed to the nation to turn to a sur prising number of the political expedients which in our government seem departures from the English system. When Englishmen at home broke with their own institutional precedents, and began to make a republic, it was to things of this kind that their minds were naturally led, as if they had been trained to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the English Constitution: With a Review of Its Rise, Growth, and Present State My object, in the following work, has been to trace, historically, the rise and growth of the English Constitution, down to the period when our political institutions had acquired all the elements of they present maturity, - that is, to the Revolution; and then to describe and explain the rights, duties, and mutual action of those institutions as they now exist, modified by changes in the laws, and by Parliamentary Government and procedure since the Revolution. The work originated in a lecture I delivered in 1854; and I have employed the leisure which a retirement of three years from the profession of the Law has afforded me, and in that employment found a pursuit congenial to my former professional occupations, to amplify and extend it. The result is the present book, which I venture to hope may be found to contain a concise but comprehensive account of the Constitution; - of its institutions; of the legislation by which the freedom and rights it confers en the people have been secured; and of its merits and advantages as a system of Government.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Constitution It gives me much pleasure to see my friend M. Boutmy's work offered to English readers in a trustworthy form. I have not thought it necessary to examine the translation with minute care, but I have seen enough of it to rejoice that the author has been so fortunate in his translator. It is anything but an easy matter to turn good French into good English; in this case the task has been performed with excellent skill and judgment, and with close fidelity to the original. The book seems to me to deserve a welcome in England on two distinct grounds. First, if we take it as a concise view of the development of the English Constitution on the social and economic side, it fills a place that is not to my knowledge exactly filled by any of our own books. And this alone might suffice to recommend it. But another quality may well give it a positive value, not only for students, but for masters in history and political science.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Constitution: A Commentary on Its Nature and Growth In the introductory chapter, the statement is made that one object of the book is to enable American readers to gain a better knowledge of the American government. It may be an advantage to some readers for me to add that Part I. Was prepared specifically in order that Americans might be able to read with greater profit Bryce's The American Common wealth. To fully appreciate that great work, the American needs to be well grounded in English politics. He must know the present Constitution in its theory and in its practice. Part II. Is designed to answer certain questions often raised in an attempt to understand the present English Constitution. Americans should never forget that, until the founding of the colonies, English history is our history. Nor should they fail to remember that for a hundred years after, there was a per sistent effort to establish in England a government according to what would now be called the American model, - that is, a government based upon an artificial constitution whereby the Legislature and the Executive should be balanced one against the other. It was not until the coming in of the House of Hanover, in 1715, that English constitution-making became of a distinctly different character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documents of the Constitution of England and America: From Magna Charta to the Federal Constitution of 1789 While teaching the elements of Constitutional History and Law to successive classes in college, I have felt the want of a little manual, which should present in a form convenient for reference, the text, not only of our own national Constitution, but of those state documents, whether pertaining directly to the history of England or of America, upon which some of the most important features of our Constitution are based, and from which, both in the spirit and the letter, it may be said to derive its parentage. The word Constitution, in its largest sense, properly signifies the aggregate of those fundamental laws, institutions, and usages, which make up the whole polity of a state. It is too extensive, therefore, to be accurately described and defined in a single written instrument; a great portion of it is unwritten, forming a body of consuetudinary law, which is equally valid with those other portions that have been specially recognized and enacted, or re-enacted rather, by the supreme legislature. What is usually termed the Constitution in this country, whether it be the Federal Constitution of the whole Union, or the separate Constitution of each State, is but a part, and a small part, of the fundamental law under which we live. Still more; these two specific constitutions are not, to any great extent, original and fresh enactments, first devised and first made binding when these were put together and formally accepted by the people about three quarters of a century ago.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 726 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Growth of the American Constitution A long time has elapsed since the author undertook to draw out The Origin and Growth of the English Constitution, within the limits of two octavo volumes, the first of which is in the eighth edition, the second in the fourth. The very cordial reception given to that work throughout the Eng lish-speaking world and beyond it naturally suggested a sequel to be entitled The Origin and Growth of the American Constitution, which has been completed on the same plan. After thirty years of effort to unfold the histories of the two closely related constitutions as one progressive development, the author was blessed with a piece of good fortune which has more than requited all the labor bestowed. That good fortune consisted of the unearthing of a priceless document, very near the surface, which has cast a bright light into what was heretofore a very dark place. It explains for the first time the real history of the invention of that marvelous system of government, partly federal and partly national, given to the world by the Federal Con vention at the close of its labors at Philadelphia on September 17, 1787. Beyond that point the in uence of the document in question does not extend, - except in one important particular it sheds no new light on the after history. So far as this book is concerned, it is a mere episode, simply one link in a long chain of causation presented herein as a connected whole. It is, however, a great thing to know for certain that the most notable of all political inventions had a personal inventor; that the entirely unique and path-breaking creation embodied in the American Constitution came into being in a perfectly normal way; that its birth was neither mythical nor miraculous. Beginning upon that sane basis an effort has been made to unfold the growth of that Constitution according to the Historical Method, which regards all law, public and private, as a living and growing organism that changes as the relations of society change. When that method is applied to such data as are contained in printed documents, the growth of constitutions may be worked out by processes almost as exact as those employed in physical science. As Bishop Stubbs has happily ex pressed it: I confess that to me, as an old investigator, a good deal of the accepted theory of continuous history, in this region, at least, of history, seems to rest on arguments as sound, within its own material and area, as those on which Copernicus and Kepler worked out their astronomical con elusions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of the English Constitution, 449-1485 The emphasis throughout has been upon evolution rather than upon description. The purpose has been to furnish a logically satisfying account of the genesis of each institution as far as present knowledge permits - to show exactly how it has become what it is. This has made it necessary to hold steadfastly to a given line of argument and to shun many alluring, and perhaps profitable, bypaths; while, on the other hand, it has sometimes entailed an apparent interruption of the theme in order to develop a line of thought needed for logical completeness. More time has been spent upon origins than upon descriptions of finished products or upon definitions, in the belief that students should obtain much from detailed and special works which would clog a general account of institutional development.
