Excerpt from An Essay on the History of the English Government and Constitution: From the Reign of Henry VII. To the Present Time The history of society, so far as regards government, may be divided into four different stages of civilization. 1st. The state of savage life. - This is the origin of all society, is to be found at the beginning of every history, and is exemplified to this day in North America, and some of the newly discovered parts of the world. Such was the state in which Caesar found the greater part of Britain, the sea-shore only being cultivated, and the interior occupied, or rather wandered over by hunters.
