Originally published: Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1908.
xxviii, 547 pp. Although Maitland never intended to publish these
lectures, they have long been regarded as one of the best
introductions to the English Constitution. Delivered in the winter
of 1887 and spring of 1888, and edited and published in 1908 by one
of Maitland's students, Herbert A.L. Fisher, they cover the period
from 1066 to the end of the nineteenth century. Rather than a
narrative historical format, they focus on describing the work of
the constitution during five distinct moments in English history:
1307, 1509, 1625, 1702 and 1887. They provide an entry to some of
the major concepts he later expounded in his seminal work written
with Sir Frederick Pollock, The History of English Law.
Widely considered the father of modern legal history, FREDERIC
WILLIAM MAITLAND 1850-1906] was an English jurist and historian
best known for The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward
I (1895), written with Sir Frederick Pollock. He was educated at
Eton and Cambridge and studied at Lincoln's Inn, London. Maitland
was called to the bar in1876 and practiced until 1884, when he
became a reader in English law (1884) and professor (1888) at
Cambridge. He founded the Selden Society in 1887. Hailed for his
original outlook on history, his works had a profound influence on
legal scholarship and remain important today.
