The Constitutional History of England

The lectures offer a unique exploration of the English Constitution, focusing on five pivotal moments in history: 1307, 1509, 1625, 1702, and 1887. Instead of a chronological narrative, they analyze the constitutional developments and their implications during these key periods. Although originally intended for a limited audience, these lectures have become a respected introduction to constitutional studies. Edited and published by Herbert A.L. Fisher in 1908, they also serve as a precursor to Maitland's later influential work on English law.
