To the death of George II. By Mr. Hallam from the accession of George III. To the present time by Sir Erskine May. But the English Constitution has also been described by De Lolme and Lord Russell in former generations and by Mr. Freeman and Mr. Bagehot in 'our own time. The precedents of proceed ings in the House of Commons were collected more than sixty years ago by Mr. Hatsall. The law and practice of Parliament has been described in recent years by Sir Erskine May.
