Dicey takes three great currents of opinion--the old Toryism (1800-1830), Benthamism or Individualism (1825-1870), and Collectivism (1860-1900)--and shows how they have influenced the course of legislation during the nineteenth century...Dicey's interpretation of English law in the 19th century, [is] perhaps the soberest and broadest that has been written": Marke 203-204. "This history [Pollock & Maitland's History of English Law], plus Blackstone, plus Dicey's Law & Opinion, give us an adequate account of the whole course of English legal history.": Holdsworth, The Historians of Anglo-American Law 136.
