Guthrie is a collection of historical and legal addresses written in the early 20th century. The work primarily focuses on foundational documents of American democracy, such as the Magna Carta and the Mayflower Compact, examining their influences on civil liberties and constitutional principles in the United States. The addresses reflect on the significance of these historic milestones in the context of contemporary governance and law. The opening of the book begins with an address commemorating the 700th anniversary of the Magna Carta, delivered at a New York Constitutional Convention. Guthrie highlights the Great Charter's profound legacy in safeguarding individual liberties and establishing the rule of law against tyranny. He discusses how the Magna Carta provided essential principles regarding governance and justice which resonate through subsequent American constitutional developments. The address emphasizes the importance of these historical documents in nurturing a commitment to civil rights, alongside a cautionary note on the need for vigilance in preserving these hard-won freedoms in the face of contemporary legal challenges.
