The text provides an extensive commentary on critical aspects of the English legal system, with particular emphasis on the historical development of laws and the principles underlying the constitution. Sullivan articulates the importance of understanding both the feudal customs and Magna Carta in shaping legal structures. The opening of the book presents an introduction to Sullivan's lectures, which were delivered at the University of Dublin and aimed at illuminating the complexities of English law for his students. In his preface, Gilbert Stuart, the editor, praises Sullivan's insightful research on feudal laws and the English constitution. The text outlines the significance of political society and the role of customs in establishing laws before positive legislation, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of various historical legal frameworks and customs that have influenced modern English law. The initial lectures reflect the theme of evolving governance and the growing complexity of laws as societies advance, creating a foundation for Sullivan's in-depth analysis.
