Constitutional history -- Great Britain.

An Historical View of the English Government consists of three parts, concerned with the most substantive revolutions in English government and manners: from the Saxon settlement to the Norman Conquest, from the Norman Conquest to the accession of James I, and from James I to the Glorious Revolution. Millar maintains that the manners of a commercial nation, while particularly suited to personal and political liberty, are not such as to secure liberty forever.
