In six lectures, Aiken compares the constitutions of Great Britain
and the United States and also examines their similarities and
differences in terms of government, (The House of Commons and the
House of Representatives, the Senate and the House of Lords),
religion, slavery, elections, the judiciary and other topics. "The
author's design was to compare our limited monarchy with the
greatest modern republic, not in order to disparage either, but to
elucidate both to a popular audience of his countrymen (...) The
subject has an intrinsic claim to attention. It embraces a variety
of topics, both entertaining and important, and historical truths
of immense practical value, concerning which the people are deeply
interested and too often misled." --(Preface, viii Contents:
Lecture One: Introductory Lecture Two: Provincial Institutions.
Outline of American Constitution. Lecture Three: Elective
Franchise. Legislative Assemblies. Lecture Four: The Executive
Power. Lecture Five: Law-Religion. Lecture Six: Social Influence of
Political Institutions. Peter Freeland Aiken (1799?-1877) was a
Scottish advocate for some time, and later moved to Bristol,
England. He was the author of The People's Charter, and Old England
For Ever (1839) and War: Religiously, Morally and Historically
Considered (1850).
