It is- with very great regret that we record the

death of. Professor Dieey, who died at Oxford on. Friday, April 7th, in his eighty-eighth year. Professor Dicey was a well friend, and also a frequent contributor to the Spectator. His influence in what may be fitly called the higher side of political jurisprus deuce was deservedly great. No man understood. the. British Constitution better than he did, and no man better carried on the tradition of the intellectual Whigs. Though much less rhetorical and much less impassioned than Burke, he had a great deal of Burke's sympathy of comprehension for the working of our political,institutions.
