Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

(The object of this Essay is simply to state in an imparti...)
The object of this Essay is simply to state in an impartial and somewhat detailed way the various changes which the machinery of Government in England experienced between the death of Charles I. and the Restoration. I believe that in a careful study of that period there will be found much material for reflection, and that a closer examination of it will shew that the Commonwealth was not, as it is ofben treated, a sporadic and eccentric growth, but a natural step in the developement of English political ideas. Owing to limitations imposed by circumstances, I have been compelled to limit my study mainly to the sphere of Central Government. The matals which have been used are chiefly the ordinary sources of information, which are well known. It is hard to imagine that we shall ever have better authorities for the period than Whitelocke. Clarendon, and urloe. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Melbourne, where the writer had not the opportunity of seeing Professor A mes valuable articles on the History of A ssumpsit, which appeared in the Harvard Law Review for the months of A pril and May 1888. The references to those articles have since been added, with the permission of the authorities. The writers indebtedness to MrJ ustice Holmes work on The Common Law will probably be manifest to any one who takes the trouble to read his essay; but he would deem himself wanting in gratitude did he not here make a formal and personal acknowledgment of it. The only other thing which it seems necessary to say is, that the rules of the University on the subject of the Yorke Pri2;e compel the publication of the successful essay in a permanent form.

Not illustrated. 1892 Excerpt: ...it, though there be no consideration of worldly profit that the grantor hath had or intended to have for it." But then he adds the casuistical distinction, that the promisor must have intended to be bound by his promise, otherwise it will not bind his conscience, even though it were made "with cause." 1 Second Dialogue, caps. 23 and 24. Hereupon the common lawyer points out the superiority of the common law, which recognizes that it is impossible for a human tribunal to judge of "the intent inward of the heart," and, according to learned authorities, rules thus--" If he to whom a promise is made have a charge by reason of the promise, which he hath also performed, then in that case he shall have an action for that thing that was promised, though he that made the promise have no worldly profit by it And likewise, if a man say to another, marry my daughter and I will give thee twenty pounds; upon this promise an action lieth if he marry his daughter. And in this case he cannot discharge the promise though he thought not to be bound thereby; for it is a good contract, and he may have quid pro quo, that is to say, the preferment of his daughter for his money." And he goes on to say that the law of England takes no notice of cause, and that a man would no more be bound by promises to an university or a church, than to a common person. Then the divine raises another interesting point. "But what hold they if a promise be made for a thing past, as I promise thee xl. lib. for that thou hast builded me such a house, lieth an action there?" The common lawyer answers in the negative. Then the canonist suggests the case of an agreement to compromise a tort by payment of a fixed sum for damages, reminding his interlocutor that...

The Middle A ges are Middle only in a sense. They are Middle to us, whom a long-established tradition has taught to regard History as beginning with the foundation of Rome, and the emergence into political life of the Grecian States. But in another, and important sense, the are very Early A ges indeed. They are the foundation epoch of that group of communities, so alike in essentials, so manifestly different in detail, which, for want of a better name, we call Teutonic, and which at the present day control the destinies, not only of Western Europe, but of lands beyond the great seas, of which their founders never dreamed. They have produced a civilization wholly unlike any civilization which has preceded it, a civilization which, on its political side at least, is not only the latest, but, as there is sober reason to believe, the best in the worlds (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

In May 1889 I was appointed to the Chair of Law in I I felboume University as successor to the lateD r. W. E. Heiim, )favourably known, not only in A ustralia, but also in England Fand A merica, as the author ofT he A ryan Houseltold, Tlie Governmml oE iglaT id, and other works. Immediately upon my arrival in Melbourne, I found it incuiiil ent upon me, in order to fulfil the engagements made by the Faculty of liiw. to lecture upon a subject called The I ubhc Law of Victoria, of whicli I had not, at that time, any s] ecial knowledge. In ordinary circumstances it would have been a sufB ciently evere task to lecture to a large an lcritical audience upon a topic which I had not tborongldy studied. But in this caseL the banlship was intensified by the fact that I could find no I tezt-book which would give me even an outline idea of the fsubject. The only authorities prescribed by the Faculty were 1the A cts of I arlianieut for the time being in force in Victoria on various branches of it. The inadequacy of such a provision for the leaching of Public Law, in a country like Victoria, must be manifest. In Victoria, as in England, much of that which is moat importI uit in sound constitutional knowledge is never embodied in statutes at all. Judicial decisions, diplomatic correspondence, resolutions of the Houses of Parliament, political tradition and joactice generally, form essential items in the list of the sources iof public law.
