Book Description

Excerpt from Constitutional History of England, Vol. 1 of 2: Since the Accession of George the Third, 1760-1860; With a New Supplementary Chapter, 1861-1871 IT is the design of this history to trace the progress and development of the British Constitution, during a period of one hundred years; and to illustrate every material change - whether of legislation, custom, or policy - by which institutions have been improved, and abuses in the government corrected. The accession Of George III. Presents no natural boundary in constitutional history: but former reigns have already been embraced in the able survey of Mr. Hallam; and frequent allusions are here made to events of an earlier period, connected with inquiries of the present work.
