“We get a history of public opinion from a special point of view, and if it is far from being a history of opinion in its wider aspects during the nineteenth century, it deals with sufficient breadth and in sufficient detail with opinion as it affects the practical interests dealt with by legislation. Much of the best reading in Professor Dicey’s book consists of personal sketches.”

“Granted the difficulty of the subject, it may be fairly said that there is no other living scholar who could have handled it in a style so masterly and yet so attractive. Like all Professor Dicey’s books, it is easy to read, and the simplicity and orderliness of the narrative disguise the labour and thought involved in its preparation. There is no novel dogma propounded, but an accepted doctrine is brilliantly worked out in detail. For anyone who wishes a guide to that difficult thing, the intellectual life of a nation, we can imagine no more lucid and stimulating handbook.”
