Abstract
"The design of this work is to explain the structure of the British Constitution, and the principles upon which it is founded; to trace its history, and show in what manner its present excellence has been attained to compare it with other popular systems in ancient and modern times; to show that even since its present form was assumed, it has been improved, and is still capable in certain respects of further improvement adapting itself to new circumstances, although, if left untouched, it secures to the people, in an ample measure, the blessings which it is the object of all government to bestow..." - Introduction
