2. The Genius of the Common Law Sir Frederick Pollock 1 authority 1 citation

   ch. 7

   Dicey's work is explicitly credited with having admirably set forth the rise and decline of the doctrines discussed.

   Whatever may be the ultimate fate of the doctrines it sprang from (whose rise and decline in their influence on British legislation have been admirably set forth by my friend Professor Dicey), I do not think this is such an answer as our lady the Common Law has ever committed herself to, or indeed very well could.
