Excerpt from The British Citizen, His Rights and Privileges: A Short History

It is my purpose in this little work to point out to my readers how it has been that the modern Englishman has, in the course of ages, attained his present place as a citizen, with the rights and privileges which belong to that condition. The story is not a continuous one, for the Englishman has occupied at different periods a position of very different strength or security. But his condition has been progressive, for, with very rare exceptions, the reverses of one period have not been disasters.
