Excerpt from The British Commonwealth: Or a Commentary on the Institutions and Principles of British Government I purpose to consider in the following pages the constitutional Principles of the British Government, its Functions, and the Institutions by means of which they are discharged. Of a subject so extensive, weighty, and difficult, I cannot hope to do more than exhibit a general view and, by indicating the most important objects of ih quiry, and their mutual relations, furnish aid to its more complete investigation. The number of trea tises in which the abstract principles of government and its form in England are discussed, is very great yet the social relations of the different parts of the community have been so much altered since most of those treatises were written, that they give but little information of the present practical working of our Constitution.
