Excerpt from The Constitutional History of England in Its Origin and Development, Vol. 1 In this department of study there is no portion more valu able than the Constitutional History of England. I would fain hope that the labour spent on it in this book may at least not repel the student, and that the result may not wholly disappoint those friends in England, Germany and America, by whose advice it was begun, and whose sympathy and encouragement have mainly sustained me in the under hking. To them I would dedicate a work which must stand or fall by their judgment. And I would put on record my grateful feeling for the unsparing good-will with which my work in other departments has been hitherto welcomed. A more special debt I would gladly acknowledge to the two Scholars (the Dean of Christ Church and the Rev. G. W. Kitchin) who have helped me with counsel and criticism whilst passing the book through the Press; to whom I am specially drawn by their association with my early Oxford ambitions, and whose patient kindness an acquaintance of now nearly thirty years has not exhausted.
