First published in 1938. A study of the political doctrines and
events which led to a hardening of lines between the Royalists and
the Parliamentarians. "From the March of 1604, when James I met his
first Parliament to the assembly of the Long Parliament in November
1640, there was going on a conflict between irreconcilable views
concerning the constitution of government in England. It was
concerned with what had been and with what was and, necessarily,
with what should be." By 1640 the question soon would be "how
stable government could ever again be established . . . But the
confusion, if it produced little else of value, produced a ferment
of thought." And this ferment has had an incalculable effect on the
centuries which have followed. Among the many topics discussed, on
the basis of firm knowledge and with reasonableness, are the King
and the nature of his claim, the parliamentary opposition and its
conceptions and the possibility of compromise, the approach to
Toleration, Puritanism and the Laudian Church, and the final
collapse of government.
