Ajouter au panierCloth, 8vo, 24 cm, xxxii, 992 pp, maps. From the blurb: "During the period reviewed by this volume England became the foremost nation in the world. The long and successful struggle against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France had greatly increased her power and prestige, while she was entering upon that large scale industrial dev…elopment that was to make Victorian England 'the workshop of the world'. This volume surveys these achievements in eight main sections. The first deals with the constitutional developments that were beginning to modify the powers and functions of the Crown and its relationship to Parliament and the people. .The second section deals at length with the important parliamentary history of the period, and here too a wealth of hitherto unpublished documents has been drawn upon to illustrate the changing composition of the two Houses - their social structure, their party groupings, and, in the House of Commons, the responsiveness of members to royal and ministerial "influence", their relations with the electorate. The section ends with a survey of the parliamentary reform movement both during and after the French wars, and includes the three Reform Acts of 1832 with their schedules. Part III, "The Administration of Justice", illustrates the state of the prisons and of the police forces, and illuminates the efforts of the great criminal law reformers. Part IV is concerned with local government and its major responsibility and problem, the administration of the poor law. Part V surveys the economic developments of the agricultural and industrial revolutions, with evidence on the state of agriculture and the progress of enclosures, and the condition of the rural population; also developments in the textile, coal and metal industries, the Luddite movement, and the state of inland communications, which were now being adjusted to the needs of a commercial and industrial society. Contemporary statistics illustrate the variety and extent of England's overseas trade and there is documentation of the early free trade movement and the relaxation of the Navigation Laws. The section ends with an account of the financial system. Part VI is concerned with social and religious life. The problems of the Church of England and its adjustment to an industrial society, the growth of Nonconformity, and the movement for the relaxation of religious tests are fully documented. The rapid population growth of the period is related to improvements in public health; the spread of educational facilities, and the growth of the trade union and co-operative movements are illustrated. Part VII deals with the problems of the Empire, particularly those of Canada, which Pitt's Canada Act of 1791 was devised to ease. Little by little British sovereignty was extended across the Australian continent, though emigration in the modern sense had hardly begun. Western Australia was founded as a purely capitalist speculation in 1829 and convicts were excluded. In India, the position of the East India Company under the direction and control of the Privy Council, was confirmed by Pitt's India Act of 1784 which held the field till after the Mutiny. Some of the documents in this section afford fascinating glimpses into the minds of the great Indian proconsuls about the future of the Empire they had done so much to create. The final section of this work deals with the wars and foreign policy of the period and illustrates the characteristic British distrust of a standing army. The conditions of service revealed by the documents were such as to discourage recruitment of any but vagrants and criminals. The navy excited no constitutional jealousy but bad conditions of service made the use of the Press Gang and the lure of prize money a necessity. The documents show the stages by which England practically withdrew from the concert of Europe and also Canning's American policy. Russian aggrandisement caused Britain to favour the preservation of the Ottoman Empire but.
