Excerpt from The Millenary of King Alfred: An Address Delivered in the Town Hall, Birmingham, on Monday, the 18th October, 1897His legislation was deeply infused with conservative, and even a Biblical spirit but in the administration of justice he showed the most trenchant energy and a passionate zeal for reform. He was his own Court of Appeal and judges who laid down false law were made to tremble at his rebuke. How far he organised the local administration of counties is still rather obscure. He certainly improved it as a system, and founded something like a course of regular assizes. He made Wessex an organic Kingdom, and he made Wessex the type for England to follow.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
