THE history of our country is in one way of looking at it the history of ourselves; it is the history of our mind and body-of our soul and spirit also-for it tells how our fathers before us became what they were, and how our ways depart from or resemble theirs-how they won the liberties in which we have grown to be what we are-how they received and modified and handed down to us the inheritance of the old times before them-how the true history of a people is the history of its laws and institutions, more especially of its manners: and manners, as we know, maketh man.

Maitland begins The Constitutional History of England at the time of the death of Edward I and completes his review with the early twentieth century. Although he sees England as sovereign, he discusses the impact Rome, Ireland, and Scotland have had on the British constitution. All the while he tells of the development of the charter in terms of its major elements: feudalism, taxation, and the role between citizens, nobility, and state. This thorough set of lectures is analytical in nature and results in a clear progression of politics.
