Bøger af John Fortescue

This 1949 edition of Fortescue's dialogue in praise of the laws of England, written for the instruction of Henry VI's son, provides a Latin text derived directly from the earliest MSS, a translation avoiding assumptions from later history, and critical annotation often based on original research.

Sir John Fortescue was arguably the founder of English political science. This convenient volume brings together for the first time new editions of his two major works - In Praise of the Laws of England and The Governance of England - with references and suggestions for further reading for the student.
