Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Province of the State Thirty-six years ago I contributed to a series of historical handbooks a sort of skeleton of the history of modern English Law from the time of Blackstone to 1874, taking for my motto a remark of Sir Henry Maine to the effect that he did not know a single law reform effected since Bentham´s day which could not be traced to his influence. Six years ago Professor A. V. Dicey, in the Preface to his valuable book on "Law and Public Opinion in England," did me the great honour of referring to my little book as having first given him a clear view of the relation between the Blackstonian era of optimistic stagnation and the Benthamite era of scientific law reform. He went on to observe that, in 1875, the progress of Socialism, or Collectivism, had hardly attracted notice, so that I could not describe its effects, and made the highly flattering suggestion that I might render a public service by bringing my treatise up to date.
