Preface on Government and Reform in England's Constitution
The author argues about the nature of government, the balance of powers, and the dangers of courtly offices. He traces England from royal prerogative to parliamentary checks, critiques patronage, and warns that concentrating offices in Parliament or Crown risks liberty. The piece analyzes historical shifts including Charles II and Cabal government.
