The Governance of England,[1] as it had also been by a mid-Victorian work of considerable repute, The Government of England,[2] by W. E. Hearn.
Lowell's Governments and Parties in Continental Europe[3] is useful for a comparative study, and the following are authoritative works on the constitutions and the constitutional law of the European States: the Marquardsen series,[4] Handbuch des öffentlichen Rechts der Gegenwart; Dareste, Les Constitutions modernes;[5] Demombynes, Les Constitutions européennes.[6] More directly bearing on the subject of this section is Dupriez, Les Ministres dans les principaux pays d'Europe et d'Amérique.[7] Whereas Mr. Lawrence Lowell is interested primarily in parties, M. Dupriez is interested in the minister. Mr. Lowell views the position of the minister chiefly as it affects the condition of parties; M. Dupriez touches on parties so far as they affect the authority of the minister. The Parliamentary Paper issued in 1912 on the treatment of international questions by Parliaments on the Continent of Europe, and in the United States and Japan,[8] briefly expounds rights and procedure from the standpoint of the Houses, in pursuance of the resolution passed requesting information; very briefly, and unequally in the several reports, it shows also the position of the minister.
