Physics and Politics – Walter Bagehot

‘Physics and Politics’ is a description of the evolution of communities of men. The materials here are derived mainly from books, the surface to be observed being so extensive, but the attitude is precisely the same, that of a scientific observer. To a certain extent the ‘Physics and Politics’ had even a more remarkable influence on opinion, at least on foreign opinion, than ‘The English Constitution’ or ‘Lombard Street’. It “caught on” as a development of the theory of evolution in a new direction, and Darwin himself was greatly interested, while one of the pleasures of Bagehot’s later years was to receive a translation of the book into the Russian language.

The English Constitution – Walter Bagehot

In one of Walter Bagehot’s most prominent works, the English constitution is described, not from law books and as a lawyer would describe it, but from the actual working, as Bagehot himself had witnessed it, in his contact with ministers and the heads of government departments, and with the life of the society in which the politicians moved. The true springs and method of action are consequently described with a vivid freshness which gives the book a wonderful charm, and makes it really a new departure in the study of politics.
