Law, Political Thought, and the Ancient Constitution: A Case Study of George Saltern's Of the Antient Lawes of Great Britaine. xviii, 330 pp. Clark, New Jersey: Talbot Publishing (an imprint of The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.), 2016. ISBN-13: 9781616195397. ISBN-10: 1616195398. Hardcover. New. $75. * The blending of myth and legal history evident in the body of literary and legal texts produced to debate the 1604 union proposals of James VI and I illustrates the seamless nature of the legal and literary canons at a formative moment in the history of British-American constitutionalism. This case study focuses on one of the lesser known Union Tracts, George Saltern's 1605 Of the Antient Lawes of Great Britaine in conjunction with examples from various union tracts and contemporaneous works in British history, Calvin's Case and other judicial opinions, and works of British-American political thought to illustrate and evaluate the creative mix of mythical and historical elements present in the juridical historiography of the ancient constitution. King James's proposed 'restitution' of a realm that never existed--the unified realm of Great Britain--could only have been defended through such a blend of literary myth, history, and legal precedents. Furthermore, tracing the juridical historiography of ancient constitutionalism over the following centuries reveals the surprising extent to which ancient constitutionalist thought has continued to influence the development of Anglo-American constitutionalism to the present day - most significantly so in the jurisprudence and political thought of American Originalism. "This is a valuable study in the mythology necessary to medieval and early modern constitutionalism and the political thought arising from it." -- J.G.A.

A curious and ambitious contribution to the ideological literature surrounding the proposed Anglo-Scottish Union under James I. Writing at a moment of acute constitutional sensitivity, Saltern seeks to allay entrenched anxieties that incorporation would erode the "ancient liberties" of either realm. His strategy-distinctive among Unionist writers-is to posit not divergence but deep continuity: an inherited body of "antient lawes" shared by both kingdoms, extending (with characteristic early-Stuart antiquarian licence) from a pre-Roman past into the present. The tract thus belongs to that fertile intersection of legal humanism and political propaganda in the early seventeenth century, where history-frequently conjectural-was deployed in aid of present constitutional design. Its argument, though ultimately unpersuasive in its own moment, anticipates later efforts to articulate a common British legal identity prior to the statutory Union of 1707.
