Inhaltsangabe

<p><strong><em>An Historical View of the English Government</em></strong> traces the development of the “great outlines of the English constitution”—the history of institutions of English liberty from Saxon antiquity to the revolution settlement of 1689. Millar demonstrates serious concern for the maintenance of liberties achieved through revolution and maintains that the manners of a commercial nation, while particularly suited to personal and political liberty, are not such as to secure liberty forever.</p> <p><strong>John Millar</strong> (1735–1801) attended Adam Smith’s lectures at the University of Glasgow and later became a distinguished professor of law there.</p> <p><strong>Mark Salber Phillips</strong> is Professor of History at Carleton University in Ottawa.</p> <p><strong>Dale R. Smith</strong> completed his doctorate in history at the University of British Columbia.</p>

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

John Millar's works brilliantly explore the nature of English governance through a prism of the natural law tradition and Scottish philosophical history. Millar was a student of Adam Smith's at Glasgow University and his most important immediate intellectual heir. His works provide an essential linkage to Smith.
