The Privy Council

""The Privy Council: The Arnold Prize Essay, 1860"" is a historical essay written by Albert Venn Dicey and published in 1887. The essay explores the history and role of the Privy Council, a body of advisors to the British monarch that has existed since the Middle Ages. Dicey examines the council's functions, powers, and jurisdiction, as well as its relationship with the courts of law and other branches of government. He also discusses the controversies surrounding the council, including its role in colonial governance and its impact on individual rights and liberties. The essay was originally written in 1860 as part of a competition for the Arnold Prize, and was later revised and published as a book. It remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of British legal and political history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
