Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a rich collection of essays and speeches by the author, a veteran of fifteen years in Parliament. It begins with reflections on the long-established routines of that institution, which have changed little since the author first entered the House of Commons in the 1880s. Yet the author's vivid account of parliamentary procedure, laced with anecdotes about famous politicians of the day, captures a moment in British history when the political landscape was changing rapidly. The author's frontline observations on important debates and events in Parliamentâ"such as the dispute over Charles Bradlaughâs right to swear an oath, or the passage of the second Home Rule Billâ"offer a valuable insight into one of the most turbulent eras of British politics. This book is of value to anyone interested in politics, British history, or parliamentary procedure. It will appeal to general readers and scholars alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
