Excerpt from De Lolme on the Constitution of England

Notwithstanding the intention above expressed, of mak ing no additions to the present work, I have found it na cessary, in this new edition, to render somewhat more com plete the 17th chapter, Book II. On the peculiar founda tions of the English monarchy, as a monarchy: as I found its tendency not to be very well understood; and, in fact. That chapter contained little more than hints on the subject mentioned in it; the task, in the course of writing, has ia creased beyond my expectation, and has swelled the chapter to about sixty pages above what it was in the former edi tion,so as almostto make it a kind of separate book by itself. The reader will now find, that, in several remark able new instances, ir proves the fact of the peculiar sta bility of the executive power of the British crown, and exhibits a much more complete delineation of the advan tages that result from that stability in favour of public li berty.
