Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Baptist Quarterly Review, Vol. 8 OF all European nations, the English have shown great est genius for healthy political organization, for government at once free and stable. No other people has so steadily or so successfully resisted tyranny; none has suffered less from revolutions. And it is highly noteworthy that these results have been reached by persistent use of the forms of law, wholly apart from mere experiment with theories of govern ment. Political theories and theorists there have been in England, with influence nowise slight; but their guidance has been followed soberly, with due regard to the necessarily practical character of good constitution-building.
