Excerpt from The Governance of England: Otherwise Called the Difference Between an Absolute and a Limited Monarchy
The work here presented to the reader has been three times previously printed; twice, in 1714 and 1719 by Mr., afterwards Sir John, fortescue-aland, who ultimately became Lord Fortescue of Credan, and once by Lord Clermont in his edition of the collected works of Fortescue'. Of these editions the two first have become very scarce, while the third is only printed for private circulation. Of all three the value is very much impaired by the fact that the text is based on a comparatively late manuscript; while no attempt has ever been made to bring out the historical significance and relations of the treatise. It is hoped therefore that the appearance of the present edition, which aims at supplying these deficiencies, will not be considered to be without justification.
