Margaret McGlynn examines legal education at the Inns of Court in the late fifteenth/early sixteenth century.
The Royal Prerogative and Constitutional Law
This book examines the royal prerogative in terms of its theory, history and application today.

While examining specific prerogative powers, the development of justiciability of the prerogative, and the exercise of the prerogative, it lays bare the heart of constitutionality in the Westminster system of government. There is said to be a black hole of unaccountable authority at the heart of the constitution and it is this which this book examines. The focus is upon the constitutional development of the United Kingdom and the old dominions of Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of Constitutional Law and Politics.

That his intention was not carried into effect is to be deeply regretted. The 'Inquiry into the Life and Character of King Eadwig' I selected from among a large number of the author's manuscripts, which were kindly placed in my hands by the late Lady Holland, with permission to transcribe from them whatever I might deem desirable either for my own use or for publication. This t...
