The author was perhaps the foremost legal scholar of his day (1885) in Britain. He makes quite a number of points, in interesting language, several of which I have not encountered before in extensive reading. Throughout the essays he compares the experience of various governments, and concludes that democracy is a fairly unstable, mostly unsuccessful and sometimes disastrous form of government.
