DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Original Illustrations of English Constitutional History Teachers of Constitutional History have often asked for a single volume of selected documents suitable to the needs of the ordinary student. This book is an attempt to meet that demand. It was planned some years ago: but my transference from Oxford to Glasgow and the preoccupations of a busy life have stood in the way of an earlier publication. My desire has been to choose a few leading documents and certain groups of documents illustrating important subjects, to quote these, so far as space would permit, in their entirety, and to explain passages in them by reference to extracts from other authoritative sources. Over such a vast field naturally the choice has been difficult. Many of the charters and statutes to be selected are sufficiently obvious; but beyond these probably no two teachers of the subject would compile identical lists.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume contains but a small number of documents, most of which are also in Adams and Stephens' "Select Documents of English Constitutional History." Professor Medley's volume has, in fact, when differences in type and size of page are taken into consideration, only about half the bulk of Adams and Stephens' collection. Professor Medley has, however, given greater emphasis to certain topics, such, for example, as the form of parliamentary writs and the union with Ireland. The collection contains no documents beyond 1800; the earlier documents are given in Latin, without English translation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginally published: Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1908. xxviii, 547 pp. Although Maitland never intended to publish these lectures, they have long been regarded as one of the best introductions to the English Constitution. Delivered in the winter of 1887 and spring of 1888, and edited and published in 1908 by one of Maitland's students, Herbert A.L. Fisher, they cover the period from 1066 to the end of the nineteenth century. Rather than a narrative historical format, they focus on describing the work of the constitution during five distinct moments in English history: 1307, 1509, 1625, 1702 and 1887. They provide an entry to some of the major concepts he later expounded in his seminal work written with Sir Frederick Pollock, The History of English Law. Widely considered the father of modern legal history, FREDERIC WILLIAM MAITLAND 1850-1906] was an English jurist and historian best known for The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I (1895), written with Sir Frederick Pollock. He was educated at Eton and Cambridge and studied at Lincoln's Inn, London. Maitland was called to the bar in1876 and practiced until 1884, when he became a reader in English law (1884) and professor (1888) at Cambridge. He founded the Selden Society in 1887. Hailed for his original outlook on history, his works had a profound influence on legal scholarship and remain important today.
