THE HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH CONSTITUTION. By Dr. RUDOLPH GNEIST, Professor of Law in the University of Berlin. Translated by PHILIP A. ASHWORTH, Of the Inner Temple, Esq., Barrister-at-Law. 'No foreigner has done more than Professor Gneist to examine and make clear the history and nature of the English Constitution.........He discusses such vital questions as, Whither are we drifting? How far do recent changes in the franchise accord with the old spirit of the Constitution? What is in store for us with democracy supreme? On such questions as these the opinion of a foreigner, who is a scholar but no bookworm, and has sedulously studied our institutions, is certainly much more weighty than that of most Englishmen.........At this time these volumes are especially instructive. They cast light on almost all the great questions of current politics.'—TIMES. As a history of the English Constitution for English readers, Dr. Gneist's book has a great advantage over existing treatises. It is not too much to say that Dr. Gneist is indispensable to the student of English constitutional history.........The translation is, so far as we have been able to observe, generally correct and adequate, and English students have every reason to be grateful to Mr. Ashworth for introducing them to so valuable a work.'--ATHENÆUM. 'The book is of great interest and value to students of constitutional history.'-LAW JOURNAL. This book is a monument of German patience and industry......... Dr. Gneist's book, we may say in conclusion, ought to be on the shelves of every student of our constitutional history.'-SATURDAY REVIEW. Something like a national reproach is removed by this tardy recognition of the great services which Dr. Gneist has rendered to the history of English institutions.'-ACADEMY. 'The heavy task of translating the book has been executed by Mr. Ashworth with taste and judgment.'-SCOTSMAN. London WILLIAM CLOWES & SONS, LIMITED, 27 Fleet Street.
