How England Is Governed (Classic Reprint) by C F G Masterman (Paperback / softback, 2015)

About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from How England Is Governed I hope that the following popular account of British Government Institutions may be found useful to Students, and interesting to the General Reader, in America. They are described by one who has been engaged in their working, and therefore has probably better experience of their excellences and deficiencies than the professor in his study. In all criticism I should plead for the memory of one vital fact which I have emphasized in the last chapter of the book, but which I would like also to place at the beginning. These are systems and institutions which are the inheritance of an ermous past. They go back in tradition, and in many cases in law, behind the actual building of (say) the banqueting hall of William II or the choir of Westminster Abbey, studded with the tombs of half-legendary kings. They may be the best institutions or they may be the worst in the world. But the common law and the systems of popular Government have passed from this little England into vast dominions occupying whole Continents. The late Mr. Page in his letters to President Wilson, emphasized the greenness of the English grass and the complacency and sleepiness of English attitude towards reform. The charges, though in humourous form, are correct. It takes strong miseries and agitations and often the experience of fear of suffering or revolution to effect in these any essential change. Britain has never had an Abbe Sieyes. It has never had an Alexander Hamilton. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
