Guide to the History of the Laws and Constitutions of England: Consisting of Six Lectures, Delivered at the Colleges of Ss; Peter and Paul, Prior Park, Bath, in the Presence of the Bishop and His Clergy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Guide to the History of the Laws and Constitutions of England: Consisting of Six Lectures, Delivered at the Colleges of Ss; Peter and Paul, Prior Park, Bath, in the Presence of the Bishop and His Clergy

I have no Excuses to offer to you for the noble Pursuit to which I invite you - the Study of the Institutions of England and her Laws. I should rather apologise for my Incapacity to do it Justice - for the Distrust of my Audience which an Invitation so superfluous may seem on my Part to imply - and for my own Presumption in making it.

In a Community of Freemen, there can be no Pursuit which deserves to be esteemed Liberal in Comparison with this.

In a Community, where Christianity hath hallowed and enforced the anterior Obligations of Citizenship, no public Duty ought to be held more sacred.
