Excerpt from Lectures Introductory to the Study of the Law of the Constitution
If, however, I insist on the fact that my book has a special aim of its own, nothing is further from my intention than to underrate the debt which I owe to the labours of the lawyers and historians who have composed works on the English constitution. Not a page of my lectures could have been written without constant reference to writers such as Black stone, Hallam, Hearn, Gardiner, or Freeman, whose books are in the hands of every student. To three of these authors in particular I am so deeply indebted that it is a duty no less than a pleasure to make special acknowledgment of the extent of my obligations. Professor Hearn's Government of England has taught me more than any other single work of the way in which the labours of lawyers established in early times the elementary principles which form the basis.

Excerpt from Lectures Introductory to the Study of the Law of the Constitution
This book is (as its title imports) an introduction to the study of the law of the constitution; it does not pretend to be even a summary, much less a complete account of constitutional law. It deals only with two or three guiding principles which pervade the modern constitution of England. My object in publishing the work is to provide students with a manual which may impress these leading principles on their minds, and thus may enable them to study with benefit in Blackstone's Commentaries and other treatises of the like nature those legal topics which taken together make up the constitutional law of England. In furtherance of this design I have not only emphasised the doctrines (such for example as the sovereignty of Parliament) which are the foundation of the existing constitution, but have also constantly illustrated English constitutionalism by comparisons between it and the constitutionalism on the one hand of the United States, and on the other of the French Republic. Whether I have in any measure attained my object must be left to the judgment of my readers.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, a renowned text on constitutional law, introduces readers to the essential principles of the British constitution. Despite its title, the book is less concerned with providing an outline of constitutional law, but rather explores the legal guidelines which shape the modern British constitution. The author, a renowned expert on constitutional law, draws comparisons between constitutional systems including those in the UK, United States, and France. This comparative approach provides readers with a broader perspective on the British constitution. The book's main themes revolve around the tensions between sovereignty of Parliament, the rule of law, and the complex relationship between law and convention within the British constitution. The author argues that understanding these tensions lies at the heart of comprehending the UK constitution. The book's insights are profound and thought-provoking, offering a fresh perspective on the dynamics of constitutional law. The author's lucid writing style and extensive knowledge make this an accessible and valuable read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the UK constitution.
