Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a remarkable and meticulously detailed record of the 1774 Parliamentary enquiry into the elections for Helston. Providing a look into the very heart of a centuries-old practice that had long decided elections, it lays bare the notorious case of parliamentary corruption and contested political power so rife in eighteenth-century Britain. Revealing the intricate mechanisms of the time, the author expertly reconstructs the circumstances that culminated in the borough of Helston receiving a new royal charter. Through the detailed minutes of the parliamentary committee proceedings, we witness the struggle to define the town's electoral rights, establish who had the power to elect, and who could stand as candidates. The book's value lies not only in its meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive record of the proceedings but also in its exploration of the broader themes of political power, corruption, and the precarious state of electoral rights and representation in 18th-century Britain. It offers fresh insights into a world of patronage and partisanship, where electoral malpractice was rampant, and members of Parliament were elected not by the people they were supposed to represent, but by a corrupt and self-interested elite. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334598845_0
