The Government Of England National Local And Imperial Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Government of England, National, Local, and Imperial I have attempted to describe the English government as it is without distracting the reader with a long account of how it came to be what it is. Moreover, I have avoided the common habit of first describing the government as it is supposed to be in theory and then following this with an equally detailed account explaining that it is not really this, but something very different. The reader will observe too that I have all along kept in mind the resemblances and contrasts between the government of England and that of our own country, not only because of the interest in such a parallel, but because of the practical lessons which it supplies. I hope that the book may find a serviceable place in college classes where the time at command, as is frequently the case, is too limited for an extended treatment of so large a subject as the British government. The general reader desiring a brief, untechnical account of the British government will also doubtless find it a convenient handbook.
