Author(s): Arthur John Eagleston (1870-1944)

Title: The Channel Islands under Tudor Government, 1485-1642: a study in administrative history

Remarks:

Arthur John Eagleston, CVO, was a scholar of Balliol who followed a career in the English civil service, as Assistant Secretary in the Home Office 1913-1932. For some years he had responsibility for relations with the Channel Islands and to this work he brought his historical talents and education. Besides the work under notice, Eagleston wrote authoritatively on the Tudor period both in the Bulletin of the Société Jersiaise and the Société Guernesiaise Transactions. Of particular interest to a legal readership of the book are Eagleston's treatments of the generation of the Approbation des Loix (1583) and of the proceedings of the Royal Commission sent to the Channel Islands in 1607.
