Description: This tome focuses on three major events in English history:from Saxon to the Norman Conquest, from the Conquest to James I, from James I to the Glorious Revolution and helps put into context the English constitution and other liberties of the English. Through it, Millar demonstrates the serious concern for the maintenance of said liberties and maintains that a nation founded in commerce may be suited to personal and political liberty but these do not secure liberty forever. He talks about the role of revolution in the development of these freedoms. Millar examined through his work the nature of English governance through a lens of natural law and was a student of Adam Smith. Please do not hesitate to email with questions or for more pictures.
