19.Travels in France (1892),p.327.

20.See A Country Clergyman of the Eighteenth Century (Thomas Twining),1882,for a pleasant picture of the class.

21.At Cambridge subion was abolished for undergradutes in 1775;and bachelors of arts had only to declare themselves 'bona-fide members of the church of England.'

22.Gilbert Wakefield's Memoirs,ii.149.

23.De Quincey,Works (1863),ii.106.

24.Wordsworth's University Life,etc.(1874),83-87.

25.Professor Dicey's Lectures on the Law of the Constitution (1885),p.278.Professor Dicey gives an admirable exposition of the 'rule of law.'

26.Pollock and Maitland's History of English Laws,i,208.

27.A characteristic consequence is that Hale and Blackstone make no distinction between public and private law.Austin (Jurisprudence (1869),773-76)applauds them for this peculiarity,which he regards as a proof of originality,though it would rather seem to be an acceptance of the traditional view.Austin,however,retorts the charge of Verwirrung upon German critics.

28.This is the theory of Defoe in his Original Power of the People of England (Works by Hazlitt,vol.iii.See especially p.57).

29.The fourth duke of Newcastle in the House of Lords,3Dec.1830.
