March 2, 1916 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses parliamentary reforms in England and Wales as highlighted in the book "Electoral Reform in England and Wales: The Development and Operation of the Parliamentary Franchise, 1812-1885," by Charles Seymour. Seymour has described not what the reforms were theoretically expected to accomplish, but what they did in actual practice accomplish. The extension of the suffrage, itself an effect quite as much as a cause of democracy, was found to be no panacea for the ills of society or of any class in it.
