TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE.
Although several years have elapsed since this essay was published,[Pg iii] ithas apparently come to the attention of only a few specialists, andthose almost exclusively in modern European history. It deservesconsideration by all students of history, and it is of specialimportance to those who are interested in the early constitutionalhistory of the United States, for it traces the origin of the enactmentof bills of rights. In the hope that it will be brought before a largernumber of students who realize the significance of this question and whoappreciate genuine scholarly work, this essay is now translated.
