Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Privy Council: The Arnold Prize Essay, 1860 This book is merely the Arnold Essay of 1860 republished for the use of students in a new and more convenient form. When I resolved, after some hesitation, to republish an essay which had been long out of print, two courses only were, it was clear, open to me. I might, on the one hand, resume studies which had been laid aside for many years, and re-write my whole account of the Privy Council under the guidance of the new light which during the last quarter of a century has by the labours of Freeman, Stubbs, Gneist, and their followers been thrown on the annals of England. To do this would, however, have involved nothing less than the composition of a new book, and the performance of a task for which more pressing occupations, whilst they leave me the inclination, deny me the time. I might, on the other hand, reprint the essay as what it is - a youthful and immature attempt to sketch out the development of a great institution. This is the course I have actually adopted. The book may, it is hoped, be of some little advantage to students. But the best result which can by possibility flow from its republication is that its very defects may stimulate some person more competent than myself to follow out much farther than I have been able to do, the many interesting enquiries suggested by the history of the Privy Council.
