The dust jacket has heavy wear to the spine ends, and a stain and darkening to the spine. Corners also show wear. The paper has tanned. An essay on civil rights by Gordon Hewart, 1st Viscount Hewart and the Lord Chief Justice of England. The author asserts that the rule of law in Britain was being undermined by the executive at the expense of the legislature and the courts. The book created "a constitutional and political storm". It was rumoured that Whitehall "considered an attempt to boycott it". In response the British Government appointed the Donoughmore Committee (chaired by Lord Donoughmore) to review the powers of Ministers, however its Report (1932; Cmd. 4060) did not share Hewart's alarm.
