Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Parliament This volume is the outcome of studies which were turned in the direction of constitutional history partly by my appointment to a chair with that title at University College, London, in 1903, and more specifically by my election in 1908 to a fellowship at All Soul's College, Oxford, on condition of pursuing researches suggested by the late F.W. Maitland. The first sketch of this essay took the form of six public lectures delivered in London in Lent Term 1913, which were expanded into fifteen lectures given on the Goldwin Smith foundation at Cornell University and elsewhere in the United States in the following spring. The manuscript was completed, save for some notes and references, in August 1915, when the increasing tension of the war put a stop to remoter studies. During these seventeen years the history of the English parliament has attracted the labour of several learned historians, and particular acknowledgement is due to Professor C.H. Mcllwain's High Court of Parliament, which, coming into my hands at the end of 1912, confirmed the trend of my investigations and supplied me with fresh ideas and illustrations. Another American book. Professor Baldwins King's Council in the Middle Ages, published in 1914, threw valuable light on a collateral subject.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the 1900 Parliament, Vol. 1 The author trusts that in this volume his readers will find a faithful narration of the events recorded: where, however, matters of opinion are concerned, he makes no claim to impartiality of judgement. Such a pretension, hazardous enough in the mouth of any writer of contemporary history, would be grotesque in the case of a militant politician. One word is necessary with regard to the speeches of which summaries are given in the "oblique oration." The author has found no task more difficult than that of imparting a living interest to utterances delivered under conditions that are past and gone.

Book Synopsis A Short History of Parliament (Classic Reprint) by : Britiffe Constable Skottowe
Download or read book A Short History of Parliament (Classic Reprint) written by Britiffe Constable Skottowe and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 366 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Parliament I have made some excursions into the domain of history. 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 Synopsis Short History of Parliament, 1295-1642 (Classic Reprint) by : Faith Thompson
Download or read book Short History of Parliament, 1295-1642 (Classic Reprint) written by Faith Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 300 pages. 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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty Years in Parliament By way of preface or epilogue at a local meeting, it was expedient to say something definite about one's past votes and future principles; but votes reaped in sheaves in such a community were not to be easily had, and in a canvass extending over eight or nine months were liable to unforeseen and unsuspected mildew. I convinced myself that it was better worth my while, even in a selfish point of view, to listen rather than to talk to the father of five children with a shrewd, anxious wife.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Radical Party: In Parliament We Should have to go much further back if we wished to trace the time when the first divergence took place, and in a community all practically accepting the idea of a personal authority, there were some who desired to place limits to its exercise, and who by degrees became wise enough to devise and strong enough to enact regular constitutional checks.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fourteen Years in Parliament The following pages do not pretend to be a complete history of the fourteen eventful years with which they deal. (the time has not yet arrived for pronouncing final judgment on the causes which led to the extra ordinary success which attended the Unionist Party during the earlier part of this period, and to its even more phenomenal ruin at the end.) Nor are they an autobiography or a diary. A diary in the strict sense I could never keep, nor would I presume to inflict on the reader an account of my own personal doings. I have aimed simply at narrating in order a series of events which happened around me, and of most of which I was an eyewitness, and at recording the impressions made on my mind at the time. It would be idle to deny that my outlook on to the political world is that of a Churchman, a Conserva tive, and a Tariff Reformer, and I have not attempted to disguise my opinions. At the same time I have tried to be fair to political Opponents, and have always realised that in this country happily we may differ profoundly with a man's opinions, and yet respect and even admire him personally. In this spirit this book is offered to the public, and I hope it may prove to be not devoid of interest to students of modern politics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mother of Parliaments The idea of combining instruction with amusement is one from which every normal-minded being naturally shrinks the attempt generally results in the failure either to inform or entertain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Parliament During the Nineteenth Century The object of the following pages is twofold. First, to recount, as briefly and clearly as may be, the process of the 'democratisation' of Parliament; secondly, to put what appears to me to be one of the most important questions to which that process has given rise - the question of the competence of a democratic House of Commons to direct to a satisfactory issue the socialistic tendencies of the future. It would have been easy for me to expand my materials into a larger book, to insert in the text much that I have relegated to notes, and to add much which I have omitted altogether.
