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.

Paperback. Condition: 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 author argues that understanding these tensions lies at the heart of comprehending the UK constitution.
