Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Parliament The idea of writing a short history of Parliament was first suggested to me by Mr. F. S. Pulling, of Exeter, who at one time I thought would have shared in the work. Circumstances, however, prevented this, and the book ultimately assumed a somewhat different form from that projected at first. The object with which it was written was the hope of imparting a certain amount of life to the dry bones which are strewn in the way of the constitutional student, and of combining instruction with a certain amount of amusement. Whether the effort has been successful or not the reader must judge for himself. I must here take the opportunity to render my acknowledgments to Mr. F. York Powell, Mr. C. H. Carmichael, and Mr. A. B. Beaven for the kind assistance which they have rendered me - especially the latter, who undertook the laborious task of revising the whole of the MS. dealing with the period after 1660. I am indebted to the kindness of Sir George Sitwell for a very early illustration of parliamentary corruption - an isolated evidence but sufficiently pregnant of meaning.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Opposition: During the Last Session of Parliament The present situation of Public Affairs calls forcibly upon every good Subject, to exert himself in the Public Service. Every individual possesses a power, which can aid and support his country. He can draw his sword in her defence, contribute to her resources, or combat with argument, and expose to just indignation, those, who have themselves her internal, and consequently, her unnatural enemies. The Author of the following Essay has long entertained an opinion, that the most formidable foes of Great Britain were nursed in her own bosom: These, under the masque of patriotism, fomented rebellion in her Colonies; and by exposing her pretended weakness, created a combination of powerful States, not only against her interest, but her very existence, as a great and independent Kingdom.

Book excerpt: A short history of the opposition during the last session of Parliament Macpherson, James The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History: English Parliament There was a time - or rather there were times, for Thucydides, as well as later writers, records the fact - when the business of a robber, by land or sea, was reckoned an honourable calling; when, in the words of a writer older than Thucydides, 'the tabernacles of robbers prospered.' The head robber or pirate captain was usually a man of 'royal strain, ' or 'royal siege.' It had been from the beginning of time, at least from the earliest records or traditions that have come to us, the received opinion that the only worshipful person was the man of rapine and blood, and that quiet industry was the mark of a coward and slave. In short, the robber or pirate was a gentleman - a gentleman rover, and his captain a sea-king - the merchant a pedlar, the labourer a serf or villain. It is only in this sense that we can understand the meaning of a popular writer, who describes a man for whom has been claimed descent from a Scandinavian pirate, as a man 'sprung from an ancient and illustrious race.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short History of Parliament, 1295-1642 This little book is not a history of parliament in the usual sense. No attempt is made to discuss obscure points of origins nor to do justice to certain thorny questions upon which reputable historians still disagree. It does include the main facts to be found in standard constitutional texts, and some of the more technical data, figures, and dates are supplied in notes and appendices for those who want them. It is addressed to students of college age, and may serve as collateral reading for college courses in English history or literature. It is hoped that it may also have some value for a wider reading public, including those interested in parliamentary government wherever it may be found in the world today. The purpose is fivefold: (1) to make available the valuable results of recent research scattered through learned monographs, essays, and review articles; (2) to give something of the flavor and points of view of the eras concerned by some quotation from the contemporary sources; (3) to bridge the division, usually too sharply made, between "medieval" and "modern"; (4) to bring the "men of law" into the picture - the legal historian who illuminates the subject by a special approach and the man of law in parliament who made many a practical as well as theoretical contribution; (5) last but not least, to bring parliaments - even those of "medieval" times - and their members to life, to dramatize, as it were, their personnel and activities.

That, of course, was inevitable in writing about Parliament, whose roots lie so deep in the mighty past. But I have avoided as much as possible the broad beaten tracks of history; and have turned down unfrequented and little-trodden byways in search of fresh and apt anecdotes to enliven and illustrate and confirm my descriptions of the present work-a-day aspects of Parlia ment. My chief purpose has been to make the book entertaining and instructive to the general reader - to the millions of men and women of all sorts and condi tions in this world-wide Empire of which Parliament is the supreme ruler. But I trust the book will also be found useful to members of Parliament, lawyers, journalists, students of Constitutional history - to all.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Anecdotal History of the British Parliament, From the Earliest Periods to the Present Time: With Notices of Eminent Parliamentary Men, and Examples of Their Oratory The scantiness of available information on the subject of the British Parliament, its history and its leading men, is a surprising fact, in days when historical writing may be said to superabound. Much information was to be found, no doubt, in bulky volumes, or scattered through the material of extensive libraries, but there was nothing for the general reader at once comprehensive and readily accessible. An attempt was made some years back, by two fellow-workers who had experienced the want, to supply it, by bringing together, in anecdotal form, "some of the more striking facts in the history of our Parliaments, and the public lives of distinguished statesmen."
