This volume brings together a series of lectures A. V. Dicey first gave at Harvard Law School on the influence of public opinion in England during the nineteenth century and its impact on legislation. Dicey’s lectures were accurate as a reflection of the anxieties felt by turn-of-the-century Benthamite Liberals in the face of Socialist and New Liberal challenges.

A. V. Dicey (1835–1922) was an English jurist, Vinerian Professor of English Law at Oxford University, and author of, among other works, The Law of the Constitution.

Richard VandeWetering is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Western Ontario.

Review

A profound, elegantly written discussion of the role played by public opinion in producing the shift from laissez-faire to collectivism in Britain in the 19th century. It explains the long lag between changes in public opinion and legislation. It also illuminates our own long trend toward collectivism and why we are in a period when a basic change in direction is likely. --Milton Friedman, The New York Times Book Review
