Originally published in 1930, this volume containing the constitutional documents of the reign of James I was compiled by the Cambridge scholar and historian J. R. Tanner. It was intended as a companion volume to Tudor Constitutional Documents and closely follows the arrangement of that work. Tanner included an historical commentary for the documents, drawing particular attention to the way in which policies and attitudes under James I differed from those of the Tudors.
