Excerpt from Sources of the Constitution of the United States Considered in Relation to Colonial and English History When the preparation of the present work was undertaken, some years ago, there existed no popular recognition of these facts. The tendency was still to regard this constitution as solely the creation of the Philadelphia Convention; and the scant allusions to constitutional genesis, scattered in American literature, had seemingly left no impression on the general mind.

The path now seems opened for a comprehensive investiga tion. Yet, down to the present, no volume devoted to the theme has appeared.
