- Summary
- "This is a study of law and governance in early Stuart England. It explores the use made by successive English administrations of the legal system - of courts and judges - in the pursuit of public policy. It introduces the reader to the prevailing ideas about the law in the seventeenth century, examines the structure and machinery of the legal system and, in particular, the role of the common law judges, and assesses the degree to which successive governments were able - and willing - to keep faith with the requirements of the law."--BOOK JACKET.
