Information: The
Abstract of Contents of this book by Edward Maitland gives us an idea of its
interesting and most important content. Although the book was addressed to the
historical context of more than a century ago, it is still of the greatest
interest, not only to
England, but to all
nations. That is so because the questions here analyzed are, generally speaking,
still today without consistent answers.
