To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1865. 56 The English Parliament. government was by acts of resumption of the Crown lands. If the lands were thus restored to the nation by acts of parlia- ment their restoration could not be correctly described as if they had been the work of Jack Cade; which Lord Macaulay's description implies in the words ' violently taken away' by acts of resumption. 1 It would seem that Lord Macaulay does not coincide with Sir Edward Coke and Sir Robert Cotton in his view of some rather important constituti...onal questions. Lord Macaulay has occasion to discuss the matter in connection with the grants made by William III. To his Dutch favourites. Lord Macaulay's exordium to his discussion of the king's rights and the favourites' deserts or merits might form a neat summary of the virtues of a ' Free Monarchy. ' ' The king, ' he says, ' had set his heart on placing the house of Bentinck on a level in wealth and dignity with the houses of Howard and Sey- mour, of Russell and Cavendish. Some of the fairest heredi- tary domains of the Crown had been granted to Portland, not without murmuring on the part both of Whigs and Tories.
