4.9/5 (32754 ratings)

Description:Perhaps the most distinctively English part of all our governmental institutions was F W Maitland's view of the JP and even in this century he remains a cornerstone of British administration. For over six centuries the JP has stood in the front line to maintain law and order, and for most of that time he has been simultaneously the principal representative of central government and the focus of local power. That the office should have been efficient, by and large, devoid of perquisites, and unpaid makes it as remarkable as it is unique.In this study JP Esther Moir has given a lively and scholarly account of the history of the office and its impact on the structure of British society from 1327 to the late 1960s.British InstitutionsInstitutions are the bones of society. A study of these structures does more to explain the spirit of a nation than do race, geography, or the indefinable 'national character'.This series embraces such crucial British institutions and traditions as the monarchy, parliament, and the press, the church, the Treasury, the Royal Society, the army, the aristocracy, and the public schools. The authors not only outline the histories of these institutions, but relate their development to society and analyse their effect on overall shape.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
