.
At the council of See also:Pisa in 1409 he was one of the English
established institutions of the See also:country." No See also:accusation made by a critic ever See also:fell so wide of the See also:mark
.
See also:Absolute See also:justice is the See also:standard which See also:Hallam set himself and maintained
.
His view of constitutional See also:history was that it should contain only so much of the See also:political and See also:general history of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time as bears directly on specific changes in the organization of the See also:state, including therein judicial as well as ecclesiastical institutions
.
But while abstaining from irrelevant See also:historical discussions, Hallam dealt with statesmen and policies with the See also:calm and fearless impartiality of a See also:judge
.
It was his cool treatment of such sanctified names as See also:Charles, See also:Cranmer and See also:Laud that provoked the indignation of See also:Southey and the Quarterly, who forgot that the same impartial measure was extended to statesmen on the other See also:side
.
If Hallam can ever be said to have deviated from perfect fairness, it was in the tacit See also:assumption that the 19th-See also:century theory of the constitution was the right theory in previous centuries, and that those who departed from it on one side or the other were in the wrong
.
He did unconsciously antedate' the constitution, and it is clear from incidental allusions in his last See also:work that he did not regard with favour the democratic changes which he thought to be impending
.
Hallam, like See also:Macaulay, ultimately referred all political questions to the standard of Whig constitutionalism
.
But though his work is thus, like that of many historians, coloured by his opinions, this was not the outcome of a conscious purpose, and he was scrupulously conscientious in See also:collecting and weighing his materials
.
In this he was helped by his legal training, and it was doubtless this fact which made the Constitutional History one of the See also:text-books of English politics, to which men of all parties appealed, and which, in spite of all the work of later writers, still leaves it a standard authority
.
Like the Constitutional History,the Introduction to the Literature of See also:Europe continues one of the branches of inquiry which had been opened in the -View of the See also:Middle Ages
.
In the first See also:chapter of the Literature, which is to a See also:great extent supplementary to the last chapter of the Middle Ages, Hallam sketches the state of literature in Europe down to the end of the 14th century: the extinction of See also:ancient learning which followed the fall of the See also:Roman See also:empire and the rise of See also:Christianity; the preservation of the Latin See also:language in the services of the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)

- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
church; and the slow revival of letters, which began to show itself soon after the 7th century—" the See also:nadir of the human mind "—had been passed
.
For the first century and a See also:half of his See also:special See also:period he is mainly occupied with a See also:review of classical learning, and he adopts the See also:plan of taking See also:short decennial periods and noticing the most remarkable See also:works which they produced
.
The rapid growth of literature in the 16th century compels him to resort to a See also:classification of subjects
.
Thus in the period 1520-1550 we have See also:separate chapters on ancient literature, See also:theology, speculative See also:philosophy and See also:jurisprudence, the literature of See also:taste, and scientific and See also:miscellaneous literature; and the subdivisions of subjects is carried further of course in the later periods
.
Thus See also:poetry, the See also:drama and polite literature See also:form the subjects of separate chapters
.
One inconvenient result of this arrangement is that the same author is scattered over many chapters, according as his works fall within this See also:category or that period of time
.

Bacon, See also:Hobbes appear in half a dozen different places
.
The individuality of great authors is thus dissipated except when it has been preserved by an occasional See also:sacrifice of the arrangement—and this defect, if it is to be esteemed a defect, is increased by the very sparing references to See also:personal history and See also:character with which Hallam was obliged to content himself

His plan excluded See also:biographical history, nor is the work, he tells us, to be regarded as one of reference

At the council of Constance (q.v.), which met in See also:November 1414, Hallam was the See also:chief English See also:envoy

The See also:emperor See also:Sigismund, through whose See also:influence the council had been assembled, was absent during the whole of 1416 on a See also:diplomatic See also:mission in See also:France and See also:England; but when he returned to Constance in See also:January 1417, as the open ally of the English king, Hallam as See also:- HENRY

Hallam contrived skilfully to emphasize English See also:prestige by delivering the address of welcome to Sigismund on his formal reception

Afterwards, under his See also:master's direction, he gave the emperor vigorous support in the endeavour to secure a reform of the Church, before the council proceeded to the See also:election of a new pope
.
This See also:matter was still undecided when Hallam died suddenly, on the 4th of See also:September 1417
.
After his See also:death the direction of the English nation fell into less skilful hands, with the result that the cardinals were able to secure the immediate election of a new pope (See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)

abandonment of the reformers by the English was due entirely to Hallam's death; but it is more likely that Henry V., foreseeing the possible need for a See also:change of front, had given Hallam discretionary See also:powers which the bishop's successors used with too little See also:judgment
.
Hallam himself, who had the confidence of Sigismund and was generally respected for his straightforward See also:independence, might have achieved a better result

Hallam was buried in the See also:cathedral at Constance, where his See also:tomb near the high See also:altar is marked by a See also:brass of English workmanship
