Book Description
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.

Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of the English Commonwealth, Vol. 1 of 2: Anglo-Saxon Period; Containing the Anglo-Saxon Policy, and the Institutions Arising Out of Laws and Usages Which Prevailed Before the Conquest So many works of deserved and established reputation, treating upon the antiquities of the Constitution, are already before the public, that some apology seems needed for adding another to their number. I must therefore excuse myself by the observation, that an attempt is here made, however imperfectly, to supply a chasm in our historical literature.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.
