quested the advice OF Parliament as to his
most important administrative measures. sub
mitted to it his legislative ennctmonts. and
yielded to it-though not without reluctance
his power OF arbitrary taxation. On the course
pursued by Edward /. ut this %juncture DR..
Gardiner. the historian OF the Stuarts, has
said: Great as were his achievem ents In
peace and war. the Parliament OF England was
the noblest monument over reared by mortal
man. Many things have changed. but In all
main points the Parliament OF England, rs IL
exists at this day. is the same as that which
gathered around the great Plantagenet- It
is especially the same In that which forms its
chief glory. that 1t Is the representative. not OF
one class or OF any portion OF society alone.
but Of every class and every portion which. at
any given time. is capable OF representation"
Tho next important step In the establish
ment Of English liberties was taken in 1897.

left his son Edward In England rs liegent. BY

this assembly some irregular exactions OF the
Kin were rerudiated. and a document

was drawn up. and. being sent over to Client.
was signed by King Edward. This ocume
set forth that the recent exactments. aids. and
"prises" levied by royal authority could
not be made precedents. and declared that
henceforth no such imposts should be
made without the common consent Of the
realm. Tho exclusive right Of ent to
impose taxation now became On accepted
axiom OF the Constitution. although 1t was
subsequently infringod by tyrannical SOW
ereigns. Tho articles comprised in the con-
frmation OF the charters represented the out
como OF a struggle which had extended over a
period OF eighty-two years. While verbally
they seem to indicate but little advance
over Johns Magma Charta. they were In reality
incomparably moro significant. for there was
now q power behind them with due machinery
for their enforcement 1t is surprising that
the concessions embodied In these articles
should have been extorted from o king like

misfortune. or rather series OF Smisfortunes,
may be traced to his picture. "Belshazzar's

subjected 1t to O process OF retrojection which

incomplete. Nor did this succession OF I'M
lucky events cease with his death. Nothing.

mental to Allston's famo than the present

would. have overcome the other obstacles in

presently became q great burden. and rs such
increased until he yielded to the pressure. and
left It upon the earth with his tired body.
Under such circumstances 1t is not surprising
that clouds Of indifference should have gather

quate display OF his pictures in Boston should
dispute his ability and question his title to

nifty primarily the simple freemen. the plebs.
but the plebs organized and combined in
corporate communities In a particular way for
particular purposes. The Commons are the
communicates or other organized bodies OF
the freemen Of the shircs and towns; and the
estate Of the Commons is the communities COM
naunhatnra, the general body in which. for
the purposes Of Parliament. these commune
ties are combined. The term. thon. as de-
s~criptive Of the category OF men which is
neither noble nor clerical. is drawn from the
political rather than the social vocabulary
and does not represent any primary distinction
OF class"
A characteristic feature Of the third estate In
England. and one which has had momentous
consequences. is the fact that 1t included not
only the representatives OF cities and bor-
oughs. but the landowners or mobiles under
baronial rank. This feature originally gave
great strength to the representative system.
for the knights Of the shire. numbering seven
ty-four-there were thirty-seven counties, each
returning two members-formed. a bulwark
which neither the King nor tho SherifTs could
overcome. The sovereign might reduce the
number OF barons summoned and the Sheri0s
might reduce the representatives ofthe towns,
but tho knights were free and independent.
In tho reign Of Edward I. the number OF
cities and boroughs which possessed the right
OF representation was. rs We have seen. 1bJ.
and the number OF counties 81. Assuming
that all tho constituencies returned two men,
bers each to any House Of Commons. that body
would only number 404; in reality the num-
Der OF its Members would fall considerably
lower. for many towns did not return two
members, and many others. as we have seen.
did not exercise their privilege OF representa-
tion. Members were paid for the whole time
OF their service. including their journey to and
fro. as we'll as their stay In Parliament. In the
sixteenth year Of Edward II. the wages OF the
representatives we're fixed at four shillipgs per
day. spont in Parliam ent. and two shlllings
for a citizen or burgess. Payment seems
to have been made. indeed. from the ear
Hest times to the knights Of the shires
and burgesses. The writs for payment wore
issued after the dissolution Of Parliament on
the request OF the members who had served:
and Prynne has regularly traced these pay
ments down to the end Of the reign Of Henry
VIII. Payments were voluntarily made by
boroughs after that. The well-known poet. An
drew MARVEL. who sat for Hull in tho reign OF
Charles H.. has been enormously reported the
last recipient OF n salary. In 1851, three years
after Marvells death. Thomas King. who had
been q member for Harwich. obtained from
tho Lord Chancellor a writ against the cor
%poration OF that town for his expenses. Lord
Chancellor Campbell. in citing Kings case.
has expressed tho opinion that the writ for
expenses might still be claimed. and that nc
new law is required for those who desire to
resume the ancient practice.

A work which is known to have been in
preparation for many years. and which Will
prove OF the utmost value to the stu
dents Of parliamentary institutions. Ia at
length published under tho title OF History
Of Tie English Parliament by j. BARNETT
SMITH. u.ondon: Ward. Lock. Bowden d
Col There have been many %treatises on the
subject chosen by this author. and light has
been thrown on sections Of 1t by such histo-
rians as Stubs. Freeman. and Gardiner. We
have also had a history by Hallam Of constitu-
tiopal progress in England from the accession
OF Henry VII. to the death OF George H.. and
Hallam's narrative was brought down to 1861
by the late Lord Marlborough, but the book be-
fore us Ia the first full and consecutive eXposl-
tion Of the development Of the English Parlia-
ment. considered rs a legislative institution.
from the earliest times to our own day. 1t Is
based on the Parliamentary records them
selves. and whore those data require interpre-
tation the author has had recourse to the
writings OF historians who have made various
periods the subjects OF special research. In
the present notice. which can deal only with
the first volume. that itself comprises 562 large
octave pages. we can only attempt to trace the
development Of that branch OF Parliament
which was destined to acquire preponderance.
namely. the House OF Commons. the germ OF
which is first discernible in the thirteenth CEN
fury.
1t has. OF course. been demonstrated by
Freeman that the English Parliament Is the
true and lawful representative OF the Witan-
agemot. or Meeting OF the Wise: and again.
that for the origin and constitution Of tho
Meeting Of the Wise we must go back to the
MARRIED. of the Frankish Kings. to the Landes-
0emeinden Of Uri and Onterwalden. and to
those yet earlier assemblies which rise before
us in the pages OF Tacitus. The continuity Of
the English national assemblies has never
been broken. There has never been a consid-
cradle period when Englishmon have been
completely deprived Of o national assembly;
and 1t ia, this fact which distinguishes the
history OF England from that Of every other
European kingdom. The Meeting Of the
Wise became changed under the Norman
Kings into the Great Council. and subse-
q%uently tho Great Council was transformed
into the Parliament, q word which finds its
Latin equivalent in coloQuiun,. and which came
to England from Italy. but through the French.
being obviously derived from parler. and
meaning q talking or comforting together.
Up to the reign of Henry III. the so-called
Great Councils convoked by Norman and An
gevin Kings represented only the powerful
and privileged classes. and possessed neither
a popular element nor q comprehensive char
acter.

Passing to the close Of the Tudor period,
which as O whole was one Of strong monarchical
action. we find that the parliamentary aspect
Of Elizabeth's reign deserves considerable
attention. 1t Is true that she ruled very largely
through the medium OF the Privy Council:
that she summoned her Parliam ents only from
necessity and regarded the two Houses as
mere instruments Of taxation. Still. before
she died there were abundant signs OF the
beginning Of the end. Although the Commons
were periodically commanded not to NEEDLE
with matters touching the soverelgn's person.
estate. or church. they again and again as
serted their right M representatives OF the
people and their determination to deal with
tho many grievances affecting the common
wealth. 1t Is also to be noted that Elizabeth's
Ministers. Hatton. Cecil. and Kollys. not only
sat among the Commons. but took u leading
part In tho discussion a proof that the iniu-
ence OF argument could no more DO dispensed
with in an English parliament.
Elizabeth added during her reign sixty-two
members to tho House OF Commons. but most
OF the borouGhs created or restored by her
were rotten boroughs. enfranchised for the
purpose OF counteracting the growing inde-
pendence OF the Parliament During this
reign there were rarely In attendance at the
House moro than POO or $50 members. The
great majority OF these were creatures Of the
Ministry. Nevertheless some constitutional
progress was effected. In the session OF 1871
the important principle was laid down that
each member OF the House OF Commons is
depu,ed TO serve not only for his constituents
but for the whole kingdom. The House also
asserted it's right to inaict punishment on its
own members. and further claimed the priv
ileee OF determining contested returns. In
spite. moreover. OF the arbitrary course pur-
sued by Henry VIII. 1t was by no means uni
~versally acknowledged that the English Con-
stitution was an absolute monarchy. Eliza
beth's Ministers took an exaggerated view OF
the mowers Of the Grown. but the lower House
insisted uron "A broad line of deInarcatlon be-
tween the rrerogatives OF the sovereign and
the rights Of the people. Nevertheless. no
foreign observer Of England at the close OF
the Tudor period could have predicted the
successful uprising of the people under the
Stuart dynasty. NJ W. II.
