The lectures offer a comprehensive exploration of the English Constitution, focusing on five pivotal moments in history: 1307, 1509, 1625, 1702, and 1887. Rather than presenting a chronological narrative, they analyze the constitution's functionality during these key periods. Originally delivered in the late 19th century and later edited for publication, these insights serve as an essential introduction to constitutional concepts that Maitland further developed in his collaborative work on English law.

The book focuses on the revival of classic literature from the early 1900s and earlier, highlighting the scarcity and rising costs of these works. By republishing them in affordable, high-quality editions, it preserves the original text and artwork, making these timeless pieces accessible to a new generation of readers.

This classic work of legal history by Frederic William Maitland and Frederick Pollock explores the development of English law from its origins to the beginning of the 14th century. A must-read for anyone interested in the history of common law and the legal system of England.

Focusing on the intersection of Roman Canon Law and the Church of England, this collection features six essays that explore the historical and theological implications of canon law within this context. Originally published in 1898, the work provides insights into the legal frameworks and ecclesiastical governance influencing the Church of England, making it a valuable resource for scholars and those interested in religious law and history.

This book provides a historical analysis of the development of the English legal system, focusing on the relationship between justice and the police. Maitland argues that the proper balance between these two institutions is essential for the preservation of individual freedom and the rule of law.
