Excerpt from The Evolution of ParliamentA student who is mainly versed in the history of the sixteenth century must, however, if he trespasses on the middle ages, be ready to face prosecution with all the rigour of medieval lore, and this volume cannot escape criticism of its lack of technical knowledge in many details My excuse for the trespass is that, being engaged on a study of the Tudor constitution, I could not understand it without seeking answers to preliminary problems which had not been solved, and historical curiosity combined with an academic interest in politics to expand an introduction to the constitutional history of the Tudor period into an essay on the place of parliament in the past, the present, and the future of the English state. The last two chapters at least of this volume are not history, but I doubt the logic and the expedience of the contention that it is only the business of those who have not studied the past to discuss the pmt or the future.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
