Excerpt from Memoirs of the King's Supremacy, and of the Rise, Progress and Results of the Supremacy of the Pope, in Different Ages and Nations, So Far as Relates to Civil Affairs
The Reader is respectfully requested to correct, with his pen, the errors which are noted beneath. The three first, and the omission of a date in page 280, are accidental mis takes; all the rest arose from an error in Hume. The termi nation of the life and reign of Charles the First, had been fixed in the year and the dates printed correctly at the heads of chapters. But on consulting Hume about a different fact, it appeared that Charles was executed in 1649; for this date marks,the circumstances prior and subsequent to this event.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a critical review of the origins of the English monarchy, and in particular the monarchical powers vested in the ruler of the United Kingdom. In this book, the author argues that the concept of the monarch's absolutist authority is a product of a long history of struggles between the monarchy and the Catholic Church, beginning with the abortive attempt of Henry VIII to divorce Catherine of Aragon and proceeding through the reigns of Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I. The author argues that the idea of the king as supreme head of the church and the state, which is still enshrined in British constitutional law, was not a product of the Reformation but rather a consequence of the failure of the Reformation in England. The author concludes by contrasting the English monarchy with the monarchies of other European countries, and argues that the English monarchy is unique in its combination of absolutist authority and constitutional limitations.
