The history of Constitutional Law may be read in the following books: −

Mr. Stubbs’ “Documents Illustrative of English History ” (the original docu-

ments, with the notes and introductions, should be consulted a nd referred to on the

more important points rather than minutely studied); Blackstone’s Commentaries,

Book I, chaps. 2 to 13 inclusive, or Stephen’s Commentaries, Book IV, Part 1, Book V,

chaps. 3 to 6 inclusive. Reference may also be made to the chapters on the English

Constitution in Hallam’s Middle Ages, and to Hallam’s Constitutional Histor y.

It will be observed that the above-mentioned books are specied in order to

indicate to students the sources from which a knowledge of the subject may be

obtained, but that the books as such will not form part of the Examination.
